Baldwin & Howell announce that ths
sales in Dingee park lots for the first
year amount to $1S3.OOO. This record
shows what aggressiveness and con-
tinued efforts will do. They have per-
sistently kept this property before the
public from the time of the auction a
year ago. When the property was first
put on the market they had ffttle TO
talk about except what the future
would bring. and now the new folder,
containing photographs of the new
homes that have been erected, gives
one years history of Dingee park, of
which any section of California would
be proud.
Street improvements to the extent OF
500, 900 are under way. H. c. Tuch-
sen. representative Of Baldwin & How
