in different parts Of the city in the
neighborhood of one hundred residences
to be sold on the installment plan il the
purchasers desire. They will be five and
six o houses, fitted up with all the
modern appliances. The installment
plan will enable any n in moderate
circumstances to soOn own his home by
paying monthly about what the rent of
such a house would amount to. Many
Of the outside inquiries received are for
property on which to build and not for
mere speculative purposes.
Chowen & Wilcox-Although the
usual after holiday dullness is being felt
in Great Falls, as well as in other cities.
it is safe to say the town has pretty well
passed through that period as there are
already numerous signs of the approach
of the activity spring always brings.
We think this will be a great year in
real estate circles. Property in all parts
of the city was never a better purchase.
The various additions and all kinds of
acreage property are bound to experience
a sharp advance in the spring as a result
of the connection OF those districts with
the heart of the city bv additional rapid
transit facilities. The same was true of
Minneapolis when the electric lines there
were extended to the suburbs. The cit
liens of Great Falls should profit by the
history of the Flour city in that respect
and not neglect the opportunity to
make a profitable investment
IN outlying property. We are receiving
letters right along from parties who
want information about the city, many
of which ask for prices on residence
property. 1t shows they intend to come
here to reside permanently instead of
seeking property for speculation, Lately
we have received inquiries from eastern
men of means asking about securities of
different kinds here, such as county and
city bonds. When men OF that class are
anxious to make investments in the
securities issued by a town or county,
they must have great faith in the future
of the community.
j. X. Clark a. Co.-Thc outlook at
present from a real estate point of view
is brighter than it has been for several
months. From the outside inquiries we
, receive it is safe to say the spring will
witness a good demand for property of
all kinds at a first-class figure. Town
and suburban property was never IA bet
ter purchase han today as the prices OF
both will certainly experience a substan-
tial advance in the early spring. We
don't look for q big boom in real estate
for the reason that Great Falls has adj.
vanccd to such a position that
1T does not require "a boom to place
it before the prospective purchasers
of western city property. Any visitor to
this city will readily admit that there is
something here to make a large city and
it will not require a sensational boom to
convince him of the fact. The demand
for outside property continues, which is
a sign that those anxious to invest have
3 lasting faith in the future of the city
proper. Yes, We look for the best
of times in Great Falls during
the coming spring and summer
Houston d JohnsOn-We did a good
business last year and have been kept
pretty busy so far in the new year. We
have sold half a dozen lots this week
and have one or two good -sized transac-
tons IN realty on foot now which we
would not care to have published for a
few days. We are negotiating with a
gentleman now for a piece of property
and have the deal about closed. 1t is
right close to the business center and if
he succeeds in obtaining it he will erect
a good store building upon it early this
year. Later we may let you know some
thing definite in regard to the deal. We
sold yesterday to Perry Westfall of the
Judith basin lot 4. block Ia,
for 800. The future looks SPLEEN
did and $ far as we are
we have no cause to complain
of the present. Since We have peer in
business here we never had a greater
for improved property. 1t
seems pretty difficult to furnish good
residences as fast as called for, which is
a good sign. A city with few vacant
houses is always in a better business
than M which has hundreds
to rent. We expect to build some resi-
denccs thus spring, some of which we
will sell on the installment plan. We
have done considerable in mining trans
lately in properties in the Barker
Mr.. johnson leaves for Chi
tomorrow TO close a deal with some
parties there relative to the sale of a
piece of Barker property.
Thomas Gahagan Business Just now
is "a triilc quiet but holders Of property
feel confident, not So much as to the
Of the town for that is Il settled
fact. but that the spring will see a good
tor property This is shoWn by
the numerous inquiries being received
by myself and others asking about town
property. 1t shows that Great Fails has
been well advertised and that investors,
to use a slang expression, know a good
thing when they see it. Property is
cheap in Great Falls today and you will
have to live many months TO ac
know ledge the truth of the statement.
This is bound to be the manufacturing
and smelling center of the state which
will always make Great Falls property a
investment. Yes, ] think the
is good. the spring will bring on
a great amount Of activity. p,
