Views Of Dealer.
"In addition to the numerous sales made
by u.s." Mr.. Fairfax said. I'VE also are do
ing an active renting business, and If our
success continues 1 anticipate this fall will
be the best renting season Washington has
ever enjoyed. The fact that Congress will
convene one month earlier this fall will
bring home the majority of those now out
of town before October !. and the demand
for houses for rent and sale should be un-
precedented. and with the numerous big
improvements now in course of construction
the prosperity of Washington will surely
continue for many years"
