THE BEST INVESTMENT.

II there is a better form of invest
ment accessible today than Cairo real
estate, not only improved, but unim-
proved. it has not yet been placed up
ON the market Every Indication
points TO a real estate boom in the
spring of dimensions that have prob
ably not been even imagined by The
most sangulne friends of the city.
The way in which the choice building
sites, both for residence and as bus.
the last five years, has already pro
cuced something very much like a
shortage ia both respects The ex-
tension of the stree. railways and
and Improvement in their service is
responsible for this TO an extent, but
the most powerful factor is in the geo
graphical situation Of the city itself
Cairo is one of the few cities built in
a limited area Ninety per cent of
the towns have one or more direc-
tions in which growth may occur. a
majority of the new towns may extend
indefinitely to the four winds Cairo
is an exception TO this rule, and when
the available space within It's levees
Is once taken up. the advance that
may he anticipated in realty values
is probably beyond calculation.
There Is no doubt but that the
above sentiment is by no means an
original one II is az u.d as Cairo
Itself. and many a good man who be
lieved II as a boy has lived ont his
allotted three score and zen years
without apparently seeing his dreams
