Summary

August through October 1964 classified advertisements offered several Beaver Island properties: a six-room, partly furnished home overlooking St. James Harbor through Mrs. Sybil Larsen; a six-room house east of the new Episcopal Chapel through Norbert M. Gallagher; a partly furnished one-room log cabin called McCourts Cabin on Kings Highway for $2,500 through Mrs. Chester Chmura; and a 160-acre income- property farm through Box A of the Beaver Beacon. The September issue repeated the two house listings and added a three-room cabin on a large lot near town through Box B; the October issue repeated the two harbor-area house listings.
