Fort Lincoln Heirhts

Nearly all OF our citizens, who could afford
to do so, have either sought the seashore or
the mountain resorts during the sweltering
weather of summer. But for all that busi-
ness has been going straight along and the
boom in suburban real estate has been lively.
This calls to mind the fact that the tract of
land which has been designated Fort Lincoln
Heights is situated near Reeves Station, on the
Bladensburg turnpike, maryland avenue ex-
tended) and is contiguous TO the city at the
time and price of the street railroads.
The privacy, the capability OF flower gar
dens and yards, the beauty of the surround
ings, and the limit Of taxation make the small
Investment necessary for the purchase of the
lot a most desirable one.

The management had not forgotten the
