SALES CONTINUE DESPITE THE
STORMS
Values in Favored District increase
Buyer Realizes 40 Per Cent on
One Year Resale - Crop
Covers Investment

Almost constant rain had a deterrent
effect on the real estate market in
Southern California during the past
week, but Notwithstanding the unfa-
vorable conditions the agents who are
exploiting the harbor lands at Lomita
report about the average business. An
nouncement Of the possibility of an oil
strike on the Bixby ranch, adjacent to
Lomlta, augmented interest in that
district.
The drilers are still working night
and day. They have had many OBJ
stacles to combat, their casing having
broken several times, as did many OF
their tools However, they are labor
ing with great enthusiasm because in
dications are that there 60 oil in large
quantities to be found. For weeks the
drills have come i'm contact with oil
and it is now only a matter of judS-
ment as to how far down the well IS
to be sunk.
That the values of Lomita land are
increasing steadily is shown by a sale
which was consummated last Monday.
John l.. Shue purchased four acres at
Lomita a little over a year ago at
$3.50 an acre. He sold the property to
John Stenlcr of Santa Ana for $500 an
acre, realizing almost 40 per cent on
his investment. While he owned the

Beachwood Park. one of the most
beautiful tracts in Hollywood, located
Just east OF Cover street on Franklin
avenue car line, Is about to see eXten-
siye development and home building.
Albert II. Beach has just become a
heavy stakeholder and active worker
in Home Builders" and has made ar
rangements with that company for the
building of as many houses as he can
sell on that tract. The contracts for
twelve houses have already been given
to purchasers by Home Builders
costing from $4,000 up. Home Build
ers" will begin the erection of these
houses within the next thirty days.
Beachwood drive, 120 feet broad, run
ming through the park is already I'm
proved with first class street and ce-
mcnt work.
All lots are broad and average up

sixty high class houses and bungalows

property Mr.. Shue placed it under in
tcnsive cultivation and from his crops
made almost enough to pay for the
land.
While Lomita has many other ad-
vantages, being so close to san Pedro,
farming is now its most important fac
tor. Nearly every purchaser is cul-
tivGting his land and all are making
comforta BILE livings. The most eX-
tensive farming is being done by the
Press Land company This company
is comprised of twenty-five newspaper
men, who bought twenty-five acres as
an investment. They have the entire
acreage set to cabbage, and leading
farmers declare they should realize al
most enough from the one crop to make
half Of the payment on the land.
The following sales are reported for
the past week:
