considerable financial loss in the past year
says the corporation. therefore 1t Is now
turning its attention to buying Washington
real estate, which offers an excellent op-
portunity for safe and profitable invest
ment.
1t Is a fact that with the enormous i'm
provements contemplated by the railroads
and United States government, whereby
about $60000,0OO are to be expended, the
mocha mics and working class in Washing
ton Will not be idle in the next three or four
years. Fortunately Washington is so stu
ated that 1t does not suffer from strikes or
financial reverses from factories being shut
down from lack Of work. but on the other
nand the government continues to increase
Its large number Of clerks and officials, who
receive liberal salaries, enabling them to
provide comforts and Injuries for their
families.
