THE BUSINESS WORLD
COMM ERUIAI.

DALLAS, March 7.-Although Dallas has
maintained a steady growth during all the
winter months and improvements have
been carried forward in eve y quarter OF
the city, there will be more houses erected
here during the spring ami summer months
coming than ever before in her history for
the same length Of time. A very large
number OF the buildings contemplated will
be erected for business purposes, and il
may not be out OF place TO suggest that
they should be of ample proportions, suit
able for the wholesale trade, as well as for
large retail establishments. We see to-day
houses being enlarged and extended, and
partitions being taken down which have
heretofore separated two business rooms,
because buildings of suitable dimensions
cannot be obtained to accommodate the
growing demands of the occupants. 1t is
true that smaller retail stores are being
opened in every direction and more distant
from the trade centre of the city, which do
not require much room, but III the main
business portion of the city more capacious
structures are required, and they are in de-
mand and will command good rentals.
Many persons believe that smaller houses
will more readily find tenants, but this is a
mistake. One large business room will
command better returns for the money in
vested than three or four houses suitable
only Tor light business, and, besides, 1t is
never without ON occupant. This is a mat
ter worthy the attention of real estate men
and property owners. In building dwelling
houses, too, attention should be given to
have them large enough and with sufficient
capacity to accommodate the wants of those
who desire ample room and conveniences
and are willing TO pay for them If they are
erected in desirable localities. Good, COM
Portable dwelling houses are in demand to.
day by good tenants, who have waited long
and patiently to secure them, and almost
despair OF ever succeeding in their efforts in
this particular.
