The real estate conditions in Rich

for farm lands near the cities. where

courage truck makers and other folks
who &ans 70 grow stuff for quick
sales, is still noticeable. and the agents
who have such properties on their lists
are. not at all suffering tor inquire-s
or for real buyers.
The men who handle good business
sites in the city. and the agents who
have really valuable city property of
any kind, whether 1t be in the nature
of business sites or home sites, or
what not. are not at all discouraged,
and not q few OF the men who handle
this class of goods tell me Nthat they
have had good business the past week.
These men do not mean to estimate
their good business by the actual
sales they have made within the past
few days, but they bank not little
on the. active inquiry for the goods
that they know is worth all of the
money that the owners and the hold
ers ask for 1t.

also tell me that they are having no
trouble at all with the real buyers, that

have been in the habit of buying on

The simple truth is. or seems to be,
that so far as Richmond realty is con-

where people really want to buy Rich

or for business purp oses, there has
been no dullness Richmond property
for such purposes, Is In demand, and
