George F. Dayton has sold to Jacob F.
'Tourtelotte the store building and site at
524 Ncollet, now occupied by Weld &
Sons, known as part of lots and 5, block
Sc, Minneapolis The consideration was
$40 900. The frontage is twenty-five feet
and the depth eighty eight feet. Mr.
Tourtelotte onws the property at 51S-520
Nicollet occupied by the Jacobs Jewelry
company. II
MI. Dayton bought the property just
sold for $3.50 900 in 1892. He therefore re-
ceived $4,000 more than he paid for it.
While he has been in possession, the
building has been occupied at good
rental.
Mr. Dayton has been demonstrating his
faith in Minneapolis for several years by
purchasing and improving property. In
the course of time he has found occasion
to sell and it is gratifying, as in the pres
ent case that his grit in loading up with
realty is receiving due reward in fair
profit. Mr.. Daytons first large sale was
that of the building now known as the
Pillsbury building. This sale set the pace
for all real estate deals of 1901. 1t was
the first break in the spring of last year.
Furthermore Mr. Dayton evinces that the
faith is still4in him by improving his more
recent acquisitions with substantial
buildings such as that at S14-S16 Nicollet.
and the Dayton building at Nicollet and.
Seventh. a large portion of his profits
in former deals is being invested through
the agency Of Walter L. Badger in Day
toms subdivision of Blaisdel's addition,
the famous new residence section in the
neighborhood of Blaisdell and Twenty

LOANS ON REAL ESTATE
PROPOSED FOR THE BANKS
Mr. NIcClcary Now Working on o
Bill to Garry Out This -.
Idea. '.-tg".5

From, The Journal Bureo". Room 10, Post
Buildi,,gs Washtngton ~
Washington, May 21.-Representative
McCleary has determined to introduce
next week his bill for a change in the
national bank act to permit banks organ
lied under that act to loan money on
real estate. Ever since the beginning of
the session Mr.. McCleary has been in cor
respondence with bankers and f1nanciers
in all sections of the country in relation
to this proposed change and fully so per
cent of the replies have been favorable
and have urged the enactment OF such
a. law. While no draft of the bill has been
drawn, it is probable that it will provide
that national bank may loan as much
as 25 per cent of it's deposits on real
estate, the amount of the loan on any
one piece not to exceed certain per-
centage of it's assessed value, and such
loan to be first mortgage. Other de-
tails will be included in the bill to be
worked out by Mr.. McCleary in the next
STEW days.

LEvELED UP AND GRADED
Merchants Methods Are Being APP
piled to Sale of Vacant
. Lots. .. 4

l., This is the day of PACKAGES Every
thing in the merchandise line is being
put up in the most convenient form for
the purchasing public. No matter how
small or inexpensive the object it is wrap
ped. This is for two reasons-to attract
the purchaser, and, as a result of the
spread of knowledge of the germ theory,
to guard against the incursion of "bugs. :"
The same tendency to please the public
and thus increase sales and bring greater
returns is shown in the handling of real
estate. Property is put in such condition
before being thrown on the market that
the purchaser has nothing to do, but build
the house. This method is especially pre-
valent in the east where no up-to-date
handler of realty pretends to open up
book or a quarter section, or even offer
a lot for sale without putting it into ex-
cellent shape. f....t ... ". - -l
Minneapolis men have discovered the
usefulness of grading, Of putting in trees,
water, sewers and sidewalk before offer
ing property. They have gone to the ex-
tent of building houses on the property,
sodding and doing everything, SO that it
remains for the buyer only to pay his
money and move in. T. : '.1,
! Widely different was the old method Of
taking the purchaser out to the barren
lot some times on the hill. top and again
underneath the dumpings of city garbage.
The thoughtful agent now realizes that
to attract the buyer there must be an at
tractiveness that will win the eye and
the heart. 1t will never do to attempt to
handle real estate successfully without
having not alone the lot, but the neigh
borhood in good form. 1t is found that
whole blocks of lots are more likely to go
fast if the home seeker can see with a
sweep Of his minds eye" fine houses
rising on a we'll graded tract of vacant
property ..- -. ..- =, ~
The same rule applies to houses. It
was formerly the custom to attempt to
sell an old house just as the last tenant
left it. Now days the premises are put
in perfect repair, the lawn cut, the win
dows. washed.
! Short sighted men once believed the
comparatively slight expenditure for such
attractions was i'll spent. Get as much
as you can out of the customer was tn.
