Chicago, March 9-The founding OF
universities by financiers was declared
to be misuse Of wealth by Professor
Oscar L. Triggs at the banquet of the
Chicago Advertising association last
night.
Why should fnancier amass great
fortune by the manufacture and sale
Of some commodity and then found an
institution Of learning with the wealth
SO collected?'' asked Professor Trfggs.
Rather let him educate the populace
during the years he is in business. Let
him tell of the process Of manufacture;
let him show where lies the opportunity
for the youth Of the land to engage
in an occupation which is useful to So
ciety. Let him employ art and skill in
the advertising which he places before
the eyes of the reading public.
"Speculation and gambling are much
more of an art than business as it is
carried on today. Let us use magma
ton, courage and enthusiasm in the
writing of advertisements. Why should
not write lectures on wall pa

The books did not sell, but the adver.

DEMAND GROWING
FOR REAL ESTATE
EAST SIDE. PROPERTY PROSPECTS
ARE FRIGHTENING. BE-.
After Fifteen Years of Stagnation the
Movement of Real Estate Revives,
and Indications Are for an Advance
in Value-Establishm of Factories
Aids in Development.

The prospects for sale and profit in
real estate on the East Side never were
as bright as at the present time. For
over fifteen years there has been poor
market for property in this section OF
the city and especially vacant proper
ty, but there has been change in the
past two or three years, and quite a
Still, the price at which property is
generally held is still very low COM
pared to what it should be.
There is today probably twice the
population Of twenty years ago, and
fully three times the wealth on the
East Side; yet in vacant property the
prices are from 40 to IS per cent Of
what they were twenty years ago; still
admitting that they were eaer high then tine
stances and conditions, prices are very
low today.
In certain sections, which are gener-
ally the better sections, both for resi-
dence and business, there has been
something Of an increase in values and
prices in the past three or four years,
and property in those locations can now
cent advance over what it, would
have sold for four years ago; but in a
| large part Of the residence districts, es-
pecial1y in the cheaper lots, prices are
still at low water mark, and vacant lots
can be bought for much less than they
would have brought at least twenty
five years ago.
This is an abnormal condition and
/ cannot last. The present year is looked
upon by the real-estate men generally
f.as the beginning Of a period of very
decided advance generally, especially
in this class Of property, and those who
are fortunate enough to have both nerve
and money, and willing to invest, are
bound to reap the harvest.

I ing enterprises, employing thousands o.
skilled workingmen in this section O

from different parts of the northwes
