walnut Park Lots. Eagerly Gobbled Up
fAs by Investors. o4z

Walnut Park subdivision. that tract
of land in Oakland just one block
east Of the car line as it turns down
Pennsylvania avenue. and which has
been plated out by ]. w. Doron, was
the scene of great activity on Saturday
and yesterday as well, when the public
sale of these lots was conducted.
All told there are seven hundred and
forty three lots in this tract and when
dusk came last night and put an end
to business for the time being less than
two hundred of the lots remained IN
sold and it is expected that these will
be gobbled UP before many days have
passed..
During Yesterday Mr.. Doron and his
assistants sold one hundred and thirty
five lots all of them high priced lots
and aggregating $4,000 The sale or
these lots viii be continued all during
this week and on next sunday too II
there are any of the lots left by that
time
The larger part of the Sunday crowd
was on hand during the morning
hours but the crowd during the after
noon was good sized and the street
railway company put on some extra
cars to accommodate them. About
every one VINO attended the sale was an
intended purchaser. Many OF them
were men who bought number of
lots evidently for investment purposes
and others We're evidently Santa Fe
shopnnen. who purchased a couple of
| lets on which they will put up sub
ftantial homes before long.
1 Walnut Park has an ideal location.
The ground is high and almost as level
as a billiard table. The tract com
prises about seventy-five acres, which
makes it several blocks each way. The
proposed streets in it running north
and south have been named Chester.
Wabash. Forest Michigan. Oakland.
/ Winfield. AFTER, Kellam and Stuart
/ avenues. and the east and west streets
will be combinations of the existing
streets in Oakland.
/ The park is now within striking dis
! lance of the Santa Fe shops and will
/ be in close proximity to the new shops
which are being built to the east of the
present ones. A couple of good sub
lstantial houses have been built already
on lots within the park and the
Ichahees are that it will not be long be-
/ fore there is quite a settlement there.

Professor Irvine he's an Acad.

paints the floors in summer va
cation. 1t used to take 90 gal
ions of paint. There were two
paint stores there, and he used
to buy lone year Of one, next year
Of the other 80 gallons year after
year.
How he paints Devoe; 60 ga.
Ions; and the difference is a say
ing of $3.50 a year.
II. G. Fallon was one of those
dealers, good man; but he
wouldn't take up Devoe; 90 we
turned to the other, j. A. Boyd.
But Fallon has found it necessary
to get good paint to compete
with Deyoe He got one Of the
eight honest paints. He has a
big hardware store and Is doing
an excellent hardware business;
but Boyd, of course, has the run
on palnt-he's a little hardware
man.
We don't care how little or big a
man is, If he wants good paint.
