One of the most encouraging fea-
lures of the real estate market is the
awakening of the north end part Of
the city, particularly the district ex-
tending north of Fifth street.
The North Los Angeles Development
company recently Incorporated with a
capital of 100000. is a powerful fac
tor in this revival of interest in the
original business district. The ap-
preaching completion of tho Federal
building at Temple, North Main and
New High streets the erection of an
additional government building north
thereof and the overwhelming senti-
ment in favor of grouping all public
buildings in the vicinity Of Temple
block have contributed materially to
the awakening" of this district.
The officers and directors Of the
North Los Angeles Development COM
nanv are thoroughly familiar with the
needs of the north end" and are pre-
pared to combat the threadbare argu-
ments of knockers" against this dis
trict. The company will transact a
general real estate business, including
exchanges; also handle rentals. loans,
fire insurance, etc. Special attention
will he given, however, to properties
in the north. northeast and northwest
parts of the city the motto of the
company being Build mp the city uni
formly and to the best advantage of
all the citizens"
A cordial invitation is extended to
the general public to visit the offices
of the North Los Angeles Develop
ment company, 147 North Spring street,
which will be open for business at a.
m, Monday.
