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!-

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.
