tion of the agreement for-sale and was to be paid the bal- ance of the $75,000.00 as lots were sold- By mid 1929 sales were beginning to be recorded. Some of the early purchasers were W.C. Thomson, F.W. Rudolph, F.C. Aubrey, Alfred Bull,Q.C., W.G. Swan, D.S Montgomery, A.M.J. English, A. Wilson Wyllie, Dorothy Erlebach, R.D. Peck, Harold R. Malkin and R.P. Clark.
