ENCorRAG EMENT FOR REAL ESTATE Own
FRS.-Mr. Robert E.. Fox of the firm of Fitch
Fox 4 Cutter, has Just returned from trip to
New York and Philadelphia, where he went TO
negotiate a sale OF property in Washington.
During bis visit he called on several leading
firms and prominent reai estate owners in
both cities. and he is convinced that the reduc-
ton in rents and the dizziness in the real eS-
tate market IS proportionatey much greater
in those cities than in Washington He was
told that where mortgages were foreclOsed in
Philadelphia and New York the property was
invariably bought in by the mortgagee. Mr..
Fox is fully persuaded that the outlook for
real estate operations is today more hopeful
for Washington than for any other prominent
city in the country.
