ARE IN GREAT DEMAND

Wichita's building boom has extended
to all parts of the town and is still ex-
tending. The outskirts of the town are
building up almost as fast as any other
part. The central part is building per
haps the finest houses, but the suburbs
are building the good, substantial homes
I that count. The packing house distric
is now making a steady progress that
is very encouraging to the property
owners in that section, and when the
greter Dold plant is in full swing and
! the demand for houses is a little more
! definite in that quarter it will be one
/ Of the finest districts in the city as far
! as homes are concerned.
! Many OF the men who are planning to
remain in the employ of the packing COM
/ pany in one capacity or another are
scheming to secure homes for themselves.
Those who have property in that section
are erecting houses TO rent and prices
on all classes of real estate are good and
considering the location are very reas-
enable.
The Watson Touring mills are a great
drawing card for this section, as well
as the packing houses.
Besides these, there is the Nevling grain
elevator that is an ADDED inducement to
parties who are working for day wages
to secure homes in this section. The land
Is high and is well situated in every re-
spect. Fairview and Park Place avenues
are as fine residence districts as there
are in town and Waco is rapidly becom-
ing in this section all that it is in the
parts nearer to the main part of town
At the corner of Eighteenth and Law
renee avenues there is a small business
section in itself, and there is scarcely
an hour when there is not as much bus
mess on this corner as there is in many
email towns
A noticeable feature of the buildings
that are being erected in this section is
to be found in the fact that a majority
of the houses are being built by men who
desire to rent them. They are buildings
that bring good rents and are we'll made
and cosy little cottages of the popular
sizes. Here, as almost everywhere, the
five-room cottage is the favorite Five
rO0ms, with closets, bath room and a
good, large attic room seem to be the
most satisfactory building that can be
erected for any ordinary family. There
are a great many houses in this section
that have been completed during the last
summer; in fact, good many more than
are being built at the present time
