NORTH BENCH MOST
BEAUTIFUL IN FALL
Section With It's Handsome
Bungalows Has Everything
to Be Desired by Man Seek
ing Home.

In these fall days, when the air is
bright and crisp and clear and inVigOr-
atlng. there Is an appeal about the salt
Lake climate that is irresistible, and
nowhere in the city is that appeal pre-
scented so strongly as on the beautiful
north bench.
With his home there, high above the
smoke of the city, which Is. neverths-
less, literally at his feet. the resident
may enjoy life amid surroundings that
are most pleasant and hOmelike. with
an outlook that is unsurpassed, and
with lnVlgOrating qualities that make
the site of his home ideal.
Homesites on the north bench are ct
tractiVe the year round, but especially
so in the fall.
One of the features which is perhaps
even more characteristic Of the north
bench than OF any other part IF the
city is the number OF bungalow homes
there. This is partly accounted for by
the TACT that in a large measure this is
a new residence section. ana the bungd-
low Is a comparatively new type If , es-
idence in Salt Lake City. Bright. new.
eieah looking homes are characteristic
or the north bench, and have inspired
the residents there to further beautify
the section with pretty, green lawns.
beautiful shade trees and those other
evidences OF care and attention which
might be termed the hail marks OF
a desira bic residence district.
Yet beautiful as the district Is. and
rapidly as IL has grown, the land values
trarily boosted. The ownership Of
property there has never been in the
hands OF emily a few persons, and a
result il has never been possible for
owners 10 hold property AT prices that
would be justified only by future
growth. The values have gone up,
somewhat but only in proportion 10 the
actual growth and the amount of i'm
prOVement work. both public and pri-
Vate. done on the district
As the district is still growing rap
ldly-perhaps more rapidly than ever
both in population and in popular favor
undoubtedly the values viii go still
higher. That, however. is a matter Of
indifference TO most of the residents Of
that nelghbOrhOOd They have bought
their homes TO live in, and not for in
Vestment purposes. So satisfied are they
with them. they say. that they would
continue 10 live there and nowhere else
IN the city, even should values start
on retrOgrade movement.
And when that is the case there is
nothing surer than that the values will
be well maintained. and Will continue
to grow.
Many if not most. of the bungalow
homes in that neighbOrhOOd have been
built by the Salt Lake Security & trust
company. That company reports that
its sales are steadily growing, almost
irrespective OF the condition of the
money market. People must have homes

they are naturally attracted TO a dis

service. is within easy walking distance
and Yet is among the most desira bic
residence sections OF the city.
The bungalow homes, the officials of
the company find. are extremely pOpu-
lar with persons of all classes. They
suit all purses and the NOS Il eXRcting
of tastes. For that reason the COM
pany proposes TO continue its program
of building and selling these homes.
They find that their patrons are salts
