most home-seekers want.

Where 10 buy a home is a question
which depends for its answer much on

as to have all characteristics which
most hOme-buyers seek.
But there are some features which
are desirable in all properties, and
with all buyers and one OF these is
the growth in values and the prospect
for its continuance.
Values may be boosted" when the
owners OF a locality get the idea that
everybody wants their property and
must have it at all costs. In this way
they may reach point which they
will not surpass for several years.
This may be true OF almost any part

city in that direction.
And the city surely is growing in
that direction. A street car ride on
