A $4,000 Poem

Now read this story and we know
That you will say, How can they show
A house that's new and up-to-date
Containing all that they relate?'
Yet it's a fact, all this is true,
The house Is there and Is brand new
With basement built of concrete stone
'Twould stand hundred years alone;
Cemented too; and all the pine
That's in the house is clear and fine
AS any lumber need to be.
Now the first story you will see
All done in oak and finished well;
Reception hall; electric bell 49,
And open stair, and sliding door.
And closet space with room to store
Your hat from sight; rooms lighted all;
And zenith finish on the wall; @ , -.
The kitchen, too, in oak is done; .
And tank and sink, mammoth one;
And pantry built with glazed doors.
And birch throughout on all the floors. i
The second story it is true
Has bath complete and plumbing too;
Enameled tub; first class all through
And everything so clean and new!
Three bedrooms here that give you space
Where you can sleep and yet have place
For all your friends that call on you
Where lighted rooms give pleasant view
The house fronts east with full sized lot
And has a porch but few have got,
Extending full and reaching wide;
Four columns, too, stand side by side.
You make your terms. we do the rest
And furnish you a perfect, nest
Where you can dream your life away
And well know you'll often say
"I'm glad I went to see those men Z

day of severe commercialism has passed

was adopted very frequently in house
building, until now the gray brick and
the speckled brown brick have dis
placed the homely, rough red and even
the pressed red brick. Next the rain
drop brick was selected for some Of the
business buildings and residences, such
as those of the Electrical Engineering
company and the F. W. Clifford house.

PAID FOR ITSELF
Property Bought by Knoblauchs Has
A Significant History.

Some comfort to many was conveyed
in. the sale this week Of property at
81 Nicollet avenue by Nickels & Smith
to the Knoblauchs. This is in the rev,
elation: that, altho Mr.. Silsby had
carried his property and mortgage
covered the weight of the mortgage.
! Dozens of property holders who
bought about the same time on inflated
values have never ceased to regret that
they could not sell at heavy advances
and some will undoubtedly hold to the
.shadowy hope until the land has eaten
Itself up.
in February, 1885, at $4,000, he placed
thereon a mortgage for $4,000 at
per cent interest. In the twenty years
the mortgage had doubled itself, Of
tcourse. At the same time the property
had increased in value so that it sold
: at an advance of 100 per cent, or at
$4,000. Meanwhile the revenue from
the improvements on the land had car
ried the fixed charges.
The sale has attracted much atten-
tion owing to the close proximity Of
: the property to the Plymouth church
corner, which is the focal point of spec
ulation as to Nicollet avenue values.
Plymouth church is said to be in the
way of store building progress and
business. The church has authorized
the investigation of the feasibility of
another site and it is believed that
the society would sell at what the trust
ees might consider sufficient price.
What that value is has been problem
atical to property owners on the street
and to investors generally. It has been
generally conceded that 81, 500 front
!. foot was justified, and the sale by N.
Everett Silsby thru the Nickels <
Smith agency is taken to set value
of at least that amount for the deeper
corner lot. E. ..l.t. w. r..
1t is probable, however, that either
the Plymouth corner or the Knoblauct
property would be better investment
should either corner make a concession
If the Knoblauchs should buy the sEL'
part of the Plymouth lot to complete
the depth Of their property, its value
would be enhanced, or should Plymouth
secure the Knoblauch lot it would have
a stronger hold on the situation il
filing out the letter "L''ssshape ofSits
lot to full frontage on Nicollet. The
! Knoblauch lot seems, therefore, to have
strategic value, as well as an intrinsic
one. based on the actual value of thu
land, which is a. by so feet.
