syrup, you viii have as much cough
syrup as you could buy ready made for
$3.50. 1t keeps perfectly.
And you will find it the best cough

BUILDERS Do
NOT COMPLAIN
Say They Are Kept Busy
With Factory Work and
Much lobbing.
HOUSES NEARLY FINISHED

Considerable factory work and lit
tie else but jobbing Is the lot of
Perth Amboy's contractors at the
present time. Beyond the extensive
additions now being made to some
of the local manufactures there
seems to be little else doing in the
building operations.
Numerous dwelling houses have
Just been completed or are nearing
completion. The average contractor
finds jobping to be about his only
pastime in the building line. Ia al
most every part of the city new
dwelling houses have been erected
and there is a demand for more.
Many rent payers are looking for
cottages. That is the two-story
port, not too large and equipped
with improvements just like the ma
3ority of fats are. ]. K. Jensen, a
foremost local architect, is having
greeted four houses in Rector street

REAL ESTATE
Many Small Deals During
Week--j. w. Wilbur May
Return Hero Soon.
F0RDS PARK SELLING

With the approach of winter, the
real estate market is beginning to
revive. While there were no large
transactions during the past week,
there was a multitude Of smaller
deals, principally among land devel-
opment brokers.
Probably the greatest indication
Of the revived activity Is the sale of
lots at Fords Park during the past
week. Fifteen quarter-acre plots
were disposed OF by John Hanson
and the sale is still heavy. While
the sale of lots at Boynton Heights,
controlled also by John Hanson,
a fair. 1t was nothing exceptional.
Six lots were sold at Fraser
John Bodnar, of New York. He will
will conduct a small store.
Through the N. Adolph Nielsen
agency, Petra S. Boving sold to Fan
ME B. Parker, a ten-room house and
two lots On Sheridan street. Through
the same agency the old Hanson
mansion on King Georges road has
been sold. 1t was purchased by P.
G. Boving. A ene-acre tract was
also sold with the house.
Antonio d. Lorenzo sold to Hannah
Peterson a residence and three lots
on Neville street. One Of the small
cottages on Market street west of
the Central railroad has been sold
by Hyman Friedman to Chris Host
rup. Friedman has bought the old
Zauger residence, in High street,
near Washington street. Two lots
on Market street between Grant and
Meade streets, were purchased dur
ing the past week by DR.. Frank G.
Henry. They were purchased on
speculation.
j. w. Wilbur, who astounded the
real estate fraternity several years
ago with his whirlwind land sales,
is still negotiating for a tract on the
outskirts of the city. A deal is now
pending which may result in his re-
turning to this city.
