meet the present times with figures that
will insure investors a proper return.
Owing to reduction in rents investments
are offered at figures that would not have
been entertained year or two ago. Values
or all kinds of real estate touched bottom
some time ago, and now present evil
dences of advancement which past expert
ence has shown always follows the energy
and economy aroused by periods of de-
preston.
