Washington has the natural advant-
ages which go to make up a great and
prosperous city, and she likewise has
the quickening power of wide-awake.
broad-1ninded business men who are
anxious that the Capital City should not
only keep abreast OF the times. but
should forge TO the front as a leader of
American cities. Particularly has this
spirit of progressiveness been manifested
within recent years among the real es-
tate men of Washington, and the rapid
growth of the suburban sections within
the last decade may be traced directly
TO the efforts OF individuals and corpora
tiOns who have combined energy and
foresight with discretion. While Il is

Captain Bartlett settled in Washing

undergone some exciting experiences in

The effect was immediate. His property
was in great demand, and as a result he
owns today one of the most popular OF
the medium price suburban subdivisions.
The success which has attended his
maiden effort in the real estate market
is a guarantee that Mr. Zantzinger will
remain in this line of work and viii
continue 10 bend his energies toward the
development of this city and its sur
