I can't be sure, but I get the impression that the land is the same. He was selling lots until the law changed. Once that happened he came down here and began selling lots with the mobile homes on them.

Harold S Schwartz, a Michigan business man, began selling land tracts via mail order in the scrub land that would be known as Orange Blossom Gardens, (Later called The Villages) in the 1960s. Unfortunately, for Schwartz and his business partner Al Tarrson, a Federal law was passed in 1969 that banned the sale of real estate by mail order.

Do you know for sure that the original mail order lots were somewhere other than OBG. If that was the case, then where was that land and what happened to it?
