building houses during the summer and
fail. This is a most healthy state of
affairs, indicating as it does the perma-
nent character of the population of Fort
Worth. When people build houses and
buy property they have made
up their minds TO live in
the city where they do this.
Something over twenty residence lots
were sold Yesterday, and the people of
small means are buying property in all
the additions to the city on the easy
payment plan. It is by no means over
stating it to say that within the next few
months 1000 residences will be in course
of erection in and near Fort Worth.

John S. Andrews, George L. Hurley and

about the lack of business houses in
Fort Worth, and about men

who fail to get houses. The Loan and
construction company will do Its part to
remedy this, and you can say that we
will build business house on any lot or
lots we own, or will buy lots and build,
the house and lot to cost not less than
S100 900, provided we can get tenant
to pay eight per cent. net on the invest
