Once upon time while Mr.. B.

the seat mate of very pious stran-

was the reply, Il don't smoke A
disagreeable silence followed, which
Mr.. B terminated by producing a
small flask of wine. Let us have a

of oppressive silence. Again B
broke the silence by offering his
companion stick of Yucutan chew

NOTABLE ADVANCES
ON HILL STREET
ONE SMALL LOT SHOWS GREAT
PROFITS
Figueroa and Olive Streets Attractive.
Los Angeles Street Also In the
Trend of vestments-Many
Deals Are Closed

During the past week A. I. Cohen
sold to v. Williams, through Black
Bros. 44.5x67.3 feet on the west side
of Hill street, between Third and
Fourth streets, being the only vacant
lot in that block on the west side of
the street, for $42,50O.
At the time that Millionaire F. H.
Rindge was erecting the modern office
building on the northeast corner of
Third and Hill streets, which gave
such a powerful impetus to the de-
velopment Of that street, he took a
flyer in a few pieces of real estate ad-
jacent to that corner. Among others
he secured the AS feet above men
toned which he held until May 1, 1902,
when 1t was sold for about 5000 front
foot to Attorney M. Lissner. About
March. 1, 1904, Mr.. Lissner sold it to
Allen D. Butt, an Oklahoma specula-
tor, who has since made his perma-
nent residence in this city, and was
the first piece of Los Angeles real
estate that Mr.. Butt invested in. About
the month of July following Butt re-
sold the lot to A. ]. Cohen of Brooklyn.
N. Y, at price of about $500 front
foot, and since this and other pur-
chases Mr.. Cohen has also made up
his mind to stay in Los Angeles.
During the past week Mr.. Cohen re-
sold the lot at about $3.50 front foot,
as first stated.
In all of the foregoing deals the
Black Brothers also acted for the
principals and the firm also reports
that they have sold for a local con-
Germ to a San Francisco investor 110x104
feet on the southeast corner of Fourth
and San Pedro streets, with nominal
improvements, for consideration of
$4,000, that The purchaser will hold as
an investment.
The same firm also negotiated for
the Goodwin estate the sale of 675sx165
feet on the east side of Grand avenue
to Mrs. Matilda Cohen that is unim-
proved for $2S.7O0.
Fifth and San Pedro
Another sale that shows the rapid
advance in east side property is the
deal negotiated by r. A. Rowan g. Co.,
by which Florence B. Cramton pur-
chased from Architect John Parkinson
the brownstone hotel on the northwest
corner OF Fifth and San Pedro streets
for $s2.50O cash. The lot fronts 100 feet
Los Angeles herald., 1905-03-05

Mrs. Frances Zahn, who several
years ago paid $4,000 for that corner
lot, has decided to improve the same
with three story modern brick block,
and Architect A. L. Haley, who will
superintend, has drawn the plans,
making the walls heavy enough for
two additional stories in case the
owner decides to make the addition
in the future.
The building will have a frontage on
Franklin street of s6h feet and
frontage of 131 feet on Broadway. The
Los Angeles herald., 1905-03-05

will call for an expenditure of about
100000.
The statement is made that title
and abstract company has secured a
lease on a considerable portion of the
first floor and that large number of
the apartments have been engaged

plans provide for combination busi-
ness and modern apartment block
with basement.
The entire ground floor facade will
be of steel and plate glass, the rooms
on the lower floor to be used for offices
and stores and the upper floors sub
divided into high class modern apart
ments. Provision has been made for
up to date conveniences and finish in
every part of the building.

The recent erection of the handsome
Thorpe building on the southeast cor
ner of Broadway and Franklin street
has created demand for a business
block on the northeast corner of
Broadway and Franklin.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-03-05

OF the corner is improved with three
modern flats. The price was $50, 900
cash. and the property was purchased
as permanent investment.
North Los Angeles
That the old part of Los Angeles is
still in evidence is shown by the sale
reported by the r. G. Doyle company,
by which S. S. Federman purchased
from l.. M. Davenport his three story
and basement brick block, 147 and 149
North Los Angeles street, for $37,5OO.
r. G. Doyle company also reports
Los Angeles herald., 1905-03-05

on Fifth street and 80 feet on San
Pedro. Mrs. Cramton is from Connect
icut, and for years has been one of
the large stockholders in the Howe
Scale company, and as the property
pays 8 per cent net on the investment
the purchaser declares an intention to
retain the investment as a permanent
income producer. The building Is three
stories and has just been completed
under the personal supervision of the
former owner.
Hill and Court
e. Avery Mccarthy, secretary of the
Mccarthy company, reports that his
company has purchased from Robert
F. Jones, president of the Bank of
Santa Monica, lot on the east side of
Hill street, 1s0 feet north Of Court
street, that fronts sixty feet on Hill
street and is 165 feet in depth. Secre-
tary Mccarthy also says his company
will improve with building in the
mission style that will contain forty
rooms. Mr.. Mccarthy in an interview
says he has the greatest faith in the
part of Los Angeles north Of First
street and that this property has been
added to the heavy holdings of the
company in that district.
Olive and Second
The c. J. Heyler company reports
Los Angeles herald., 1905-03-05
Figueroa and Sixth

The c. ]. Heyler company also re-
ports that Mrs. M L. Lee has sold
Isaac Norton and l. l.. Lowman the
southeast corner of Sixth and Figueroa
streets, ninety-six feet on Sixth by
125 feet on Figueroa that is improved
with three story frame building, for
a consideration of $4,000. Bought as
an investment.
Figueroa and Sixth Again
The advancing tendency of property
in the Figueroa district near Sixth is
shown by a deal closed by r. A. Row
an & Co., assisted by w. b. Merwin.
The purchaser was Mrs. Robert j.
Burdette, who has operated freely in
local property. Mrs. Burdette pur-
chased from Mrs. M. L. Lee the south
west corner of Sixth and Flower
streets, fronting 60 feet on Sixth by 125
feet on Flower. The southerly portion
