THE GATEWAY TO PICTURESQUE CANADA IS THROUGH THE VILLAGE OF FONTHILL

[The Welland Tribune and Telegraph, 21 June 1921]

Say what you will, the heart desire is to live in the country. Not on a farm, perhaps, but in the midst of fruits and vegetables of your own growing. And to grow of each enough to market and maintain the overhead expenses of the home. Our beautiful Village of Fonthill is the ideal location for just such enterprise. The old folks and young folks can glory in the freedom of pure air and pure spring water, and the kiddies have so much romping room that at night time they come home healthfully tired and get sleep which builds up bodies for a long livetime.

Fonthill, today, and for many years, has been the natural suburb home of the Welland business man. And not only Welland, but Thorold and other intermediate points. But today, better than at any other time, because the auto roads are practically perfect. The drive from Welland by auto is about 20 minutes, and from Thorold some 10 minutes more. And then you are in the most beautiful country in Canada. Don’t accept our statement for it. Ask anybody.

We have homes and fruit farms and lots on our list which we would be very glad to talk with you about; some new, others not so new (the homes), and the lots to build homes upon which within one year will be worth at least twenty-five per cent, more than you can buy them for today. We have one splendid fruit farm of 8 acres, with home and barns, etc., for $8,750, and the man who buys wouldn’t take $10,000 for it within 24 hours. We have a 6 acre fruit farm and home and barn, etc., for $6,000, and the buyer wouldn’t part with it after being moved and settled. We have some twelve lots in the Village at prices now so low that it won’t take ten minutes for us to make the deal. Our phone is “Ridgeville 13 ring 3.” Call me up at once, or drive out any morning, afternoon or evening.
