MANY PURCHASE
CEMENT HOUSES
New Style Poured Dwellings
Attract Attention.

The new style Of low-cost poured houses
are attracting hundreds of visitors 10
Virginia Highlands. and many have pur-
chased with the view toward home build
ing in. the near future
The houses now built were sold before
they were finished. and two more have
been purchased before the ground was
broken.
The new construction. made possible
by the novel stee' mold equipment,
brings the cost of these damp-proof and
attractive houses well within the reach
of the average wage Garner.
In the past two difficulties have been
encountered in the construction of ce-
ment houses. one being the danger OF
dampness, and the other being a crack
ing of the walls owing to contraction
and expansion. For the type of homes
az Virginia Highlands the whole exterior
of the walls are brush-coated with a wa
ter-proof preparation, which prevents all
dampness from penetrating the cement;
and walls are thoroughly REINFORCED with
steel bars, which overcome the danger OF
expansion cracks.
During the past week number OF ad-
ditional streets have been opened up. and
a large contract for street grading. in
Guiding 1000 loads of stone, has been
awarded The street work will be pushed
to completion i'm the next two months

Sales aggregating over S37,500 have
been recorded by WIllett & Reinecke Co.

market has opened up unusually brisk.
and that the demand of home buyers and
investors has been more active this fall
than any preceding fall for the past few
years, The demand for modern homes
is far beyond tho supply.

he probably has a large income he does

great deal of trouble explaining TO the

One Of the most noteworthy features
of building operations in the city is the
number Of small apartment houses going
up. Even the larger buildings that are
in course Of construction will have apart
ments OF two and three rooms. The rea-
son for this is due TO the fact that the
number OF people who are here during
the Congressional season require only
small living apartments. and the prices
OF such suites are generally attractive.
