Just past the five points at Mercerville, and about a quarter mile up Edinburg Road, you will see the area known as Mercer Manor. It was laid out as a new community back during the time of President Woodrow Wilson, hence the street names. Twenty five dollars down and even less for your mortgage. How times have changed!

IN THE 50'S TOM, I BOUGHT A LOT ON THE CORNER OF EDINBURG RD AND HOOVER FOR $1,200. THAT WAS PRETTY CHEAP FOR THAT AREA AND BUILT A HOUSE THERE FOR $17,000. I LATER DECIDED I WANTED A BRICK HOUSE AND SOLD IT TO BUY THE HOUSE ON MARSHALL AVE. FOR $17,500. I HATE TO THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH THOSE HOUSES ARE WORTH NOW. REGARDS.
