Ad for Hardy Medford Farm Auction, Sept. 4, 1923

Hardy Medford Farm

60 Acres in small tracts, at AUCTION Tuesday, Sept. 4th at 109:30 a.m.

The noted Medford Farm and Summer Hotel near Clyde, N.C., will be sold at auction on above date on terms of ¼ Cash: Balance, 1, 2, and 3 years.

This farm is in a high state of cultivation and one of the best locations in Western North Carolina for either summer or permanent homes. It fronts on two side(s?) the State paved highway between Waynesville and Asheville, two miles east of Lake Junaluska, 1 mile from Clyde High School, Haywood Institute and four churches. It contains a 17-room hotel, 6 cottages, good springs, woodland, 2 orchards of selected fruit and a small lake stocked with fish.

We are subdividing this farm into a town of 20 natural home sites of from 1 to 5 acres each and some business lots with city water and electric lights available. We are surprised at the sale of this loted farm, yet glad to offer you this great opportunity. Expect to make the day profitable to all of the purchasers as well as a greater holiday that the Medford Reunion which has been held at this place for many years. After the land sale we will sell the hotel and furniture, live stock and farm tools.

We will give a barbecue dinner, band concert, and numbers of prizes

Ad on page 8 of The Carolina Mountaineer and Waynesville Courier, Aug. 27, 1923. I don’t know what “loted” farm means. A lote is a waterlily. Maybe it’s a typo or a word that is no longer used??
