Everything points to the early cap

1t is in the plans OF the military au-

WASHINGTON, D. c.. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER I, 1901,

In short. Kenilworth will soon have all
the advantages OF the city without the
woes and worries which people in or
dinary circumstances in life endure who
live in rented and poorly ventilated
houses in town. The poor man who de-
sires to safely invest his earnings will
make no mistake by purchasing Kenil-
worth lots, which he can secure at rea-
sonable figures and on terms which he
can easily meet 1t is not to be doubt
ed that property in the village will
advance in value several hundred per
cent within the next FIVE years. AT
the sale on Labor Day a number OF
lots were sold at ten cents foot. They
went off brisllly at those figures, and
had the sale been continued many more
would have been disposed OF. 1t is to
be hoped that the owners OF the sub
division. the Washington and Suburban
Real Estate Company, of G4I2 G street
n W.. will afford the people at least
another opportunity to purchase lots in
this prosperous and promising village.
