REALTY AND BUILDING,
The Most Favorable Outlook for Fort
Worth This Fall,
The Attraction That VIII Draw People to the
City During the FalI-New Build
ings Proposed.

There is hardly real estate agent in
Fort Worth who is not daily in receipt of
inquiries about Fort Worth property and
in addition TO this quite number of
people make personal application
10 agents. All this shows that the
interest of investors is turned to this
city and the outlook is for heavy dealing
this fall. One agent has trade OF $780,
600 on foot which he expects TO close inside
of ten days. Several suburban additions
will lie ready for the market inside of
thirty days and the completion
Of new electric car lines will
bring other sections in demand. Keep
ing pace with the movement IN real estate
is activity in building circles. As stated
a short time since work on new buildings
TO cost S6l5 900 is now under way,
and buildings to cost $780,
600 are rapidly nearing completion.
During the fall the city hall and q fine
three-story building for central fire
station will be started, and by February
at latest 1t is believed work on
Il SIS, 900 government building will
be under way. Added to all
this the fact that cotton mill will be
built this year, that the refrigerator aud
paCkery will be in operation,
and it will be seen that Fort
Worth's near future will be very
bright. All that is necessary 10 put
Fort Worth far to the front n the next
twelve months is a determination 10 keep
building operations active, this being
warranted by tine demand.
GALA TINE.
All the great cities of the country at
tract people TO them in the fall by giving
some popular entertainment or Offering
some great attraction. In the past Fort
Worth has not done this, but this year
the chamber of commerce, for the good
of the entire city, has provided such en-
tertainment in securing Pain $ Last Days
of Pompeii for n mouth. Our mer-
chants should see to it that the
time Is made u gala occasion. The peO-
pie who will come here will trade and
will see the city. 1t will be an easy
matter to draw people from the territory
and even from Louisiana to see this
spectacle, and merchants should lend
their assistance in the work. The fifteen
men who have made the necessary guar
antee should be assisted by business men
taking the $50 boxes 10 be disposed of.
Fort Worth during the thirty days ex-
hibit should be the busiest city in Texas.
