WHAT OUR MARKETING SYSTEM DOES FOR LAND-AND-TIMBER SALE PRICES

After our last issue had gone to the printer, our office in McComb sold about 115 acres of land and timber in south Mississippi. It first divided the tract into three blocks, then measured 100% of the sawtimber trees on each block, and finally solicited sealed bids on either land or timber or both from buyers on our computer list plus others reached by newspaper ads. Here are the spectacular results:

Block 1 - 39.32 A.				Block 2 - 18.59 A.			Block 3 - 56.83 A.
