This reliable real-ostate firm, located at No. 80
Dearborn street, has been established since
1867. The senior partuor is one Of our Oldest
citizens having come to Chicago in 1884, aud
has been in his present line OF busineaa aince
1917. The firm OF Rees, Pairce i Co. is conced-
cd authority among other real-estate houses in
all matters pertaining to property valuations in

choicest OF lands knd houses, and We RANK the

our judicious and trustworthy real-estate deal

tensya dealers in suburban property. He came
to Chicago in 1849. and. taking desk-xoom in
Bees l. Kuske1's Office in the old log Court
House, commenced to subdivade tho largo tracts
purchased By his father tho previous year, and
initlated the principle of sailing lots On tan
yearly paTments-
His comparison OF prices is at once interesting
and instr1ctive,-property which he sold in
1Y49 and 1850, five years after had in
creased from 450 to 500 por cent and II
now worth from 900 to 600 per cent, beaidesrs-
aIizing in rent more than original cost per annum
for many years. He ls still selling lots at cash
prices On the ten-yearly- payment sSstsm IN city,
Hyde Park, and Eaat Grand Crossing. His
terms are 30 low and SO reasonable that there is
no excuse for any body on salary, or abae to
work, not having . house OF his own, as not only
is the price OF the lot go spread over only equal
to small rent but the presumption is iust1ds-
bio thar the results OF purchase in 1919 will be
again repeated, now that Chicago IL recognized
as one Of the future principal cities Of tho
world.
