Ten years ago, when Lord Roberts
was the military administrators Of the
great Asiatic colony of England. he
foresaw the ever threatening danger OF
a failure of the food supply among
those teeming millions of blacks and
suggested a means of obviating. or at
least diminishing, such a danger.
The plan Roberts suggested was for
the government To establish large
number of emergency hospitals and
food distributing depots. The hospitals
were called for because pestilence al

FOR AN INVESTMENT
Max SteinbucheI Purchases a
Brick Business Block.
CONSIDERATION IS $4,000
Building Located at $50 North
Main Street.
CONSIDERATION is $1,000

A deal for a fine brick business block in
this city was consGmmated yesterday
and as a result Mr. Max Steinbuchel now
owns the business property at $50 North
Main street, the consideration being 5000.
The building is now occupied on the
lower floor by the Vienna bakery and the
upper floors are used for Office and dwell
ing rooms. The building is three stories
high and has number of fine rooms
in it.
The original cost of the building IS
Steinbuchel. That the purchase of the
property for an investment will prove
satisfactory there can be no doubt.
The building prior to its purchase ty
Mr.. Steinbuchel was owned by Joseph n
Wilde of California, who purchased the
property a number of years ago. He
usually came here some time during the
year to look after the property but lately
has not been a Wichita visitor.
The property under the care Ct Mr..
Steirbuchel will be repaired should it so
need it and the rooms placed in splendid
condition. The building is substantially
built and presents a handsome appear
ance.
The fact that Wichita people are buy
ing home property is a splendid indication
that the property values of the cay are
increasing There is a common Gem
plant at the present time that the Price
on business property is increasing. Buy
ers for good bargains are much IN evil
dence, but the action of Mr. SteirbucheI
proves that he is watching the real estate
market.
In addition to the demand for business
property there is a steady demand for
residence property and people WHO come
to the city find it almost impossible to
rent houses Of convenient size. This fact
will undoubtedly mean that many new
residence buildings will go up in Wichita
