CHEAP MANSION
BARGAIN BUYER REJECTS ALL OFFERS. GLASGOW, December 12. Offers to buy the mansion at Paisley, formerly owned by a member of the Coats cotton firm have been rejected by Mrs Reid, who recently purchased it for 5/-. Two offers were by contractors who said they would demolish the building and erect a modern villa free. Another suggestion was that a film should be made of Mrs Reid parading the ground, and another that she should dispose of the property for racehorse - training or dog-breeding. An American family is anxious to hire a suite “because it would be fun to be able to say that you had lived in a house so cheaply acquired.”
