Five years ago the name Broad
way" was unheard OF in Detroit as
far as local business thoroughfares
were concerned. But great changes
have been wrought since then, and
today there Is no street in the entire
downtown section that gives promise
OF better future than the wide ave
nue. extending from East Grand Circus
park, on the north. to Pingree-sd. on
the south. which has been re-chris-
tened Broadway.
The change Of name was eminently
fitting, for there Is but little resem-
blaace In the street as IL now exists
to did Miami.ave. of former years. j.
F. Hartz. president of the j. 1. HaFts
Co, manufacturers OF and dealers In
surgical instruments and physicians
supplies at Nos l03-l05 Broadway, was
largely responsible for the re-chris-
tening The main objection TO Miami
ave. as a name was that strangers
found Ii hard to remember, and this
was a serious obstacle in the way oil
the streets development as a business
. CENTER MI ItdilN was NOhHuNhN NA-0N
! the street had a great future. He
demonstrated his faith in IL by estab-
fishing his business there eight years
ago, moving from Woodward-ave., and
as one OF the streets pioneer mer-
chants he was naturally interested in
seeing this one great impeachment re-
moved.
The wisdom of the common councils
action in adopting the name Broad
way" has been fully demonstrated in
the years that have passed since that
action was taken. New business
blocks have taken the place OF tum-
bic down residences and the present
year will witness still greater changes.
At this writing the excavation for
a new modern block to be erected by
the Broadway Realty Co. at the south
west corner OF Broadway and John r.
st. is practically completed. The
building will be extended to cover the
property Immediately adjoining on the
south In another year. when the leases
held by the tenants Of the old wooden
buildings that now stand on the lot
expire.
This will be the third modern Dusi-
ness block erected at the intersection
of these streets within about the same
number OF years. the others being the
Healy building on the northeast, and
the Holmes block, on the northwest
corner. And the prospects are that
the near future will see another hand.

To fully appreciate the changes that
have taken place in this street within
recent years. il is necessary to re-
call its appearance before the present
era OF rejuvenation set In. Many citi'
gems still recall the Anticipated frame

part, that formerly lined the street
Only a few OF them remain now, while
from their ruins have risen such state

4 factor In Broadway's increasing
popularity is the fact that 1t affords a
direct route to Gratiot-ave. and other
business streets radiating from Pin
gree-sq. and, via Randolph-st., to JEFF
ferson.ave. The street, at the north
end, is but a step or two from Wood
ward. and II is traversed by one OF
the busiest car lines In the city. Broad

reflected in the great advance In real

selling for $500 per foot The price
is now 81 500 per foot.
