I am saddened to hear of what happened to your grand father after he posted this ad. He was quite an entrepreneur. I too am an entrepreneur, and when I saw this add as I was doing some research on the internet, I thought…"What a cool idea!! And I considered doing something similar about an investment I made 2 years ago which has reaped me some wonderful results …until I saw your comment. Even if it's a fact, the FTC just doesn’t allow such statements, as it may be a scam. I'll bet your grandfather's statements were true, but he got a C&D letter anyway. I admire any entrepreneur who bucks the trends to become a millionaire, or who sets a new trend to become one. Your grandfather was one of those great men.

M. Ostrander's (my grandfather) company. He received a cease and desist order from the FTC in 1931, went bankrupt, and apparently committed suicide in 1932. The earliest real estate ads (under the name of W. M. Ostrander) that I have been able to find are from 1897. This was W. M. Ostrander’s (my grandfather) company.
