CENTRAL FRONTAGE WANTED

Charles A. Elder, president of the
Los Angeles Investment company, sees
big prospects ahead for those who in
vest in downtown property now. He
is quite enthusiastic over the sales
made lately, and said: "I consider
that the price of property, and especial
ly inside property, is a good invest
ment almost anywhere in Los Angeles.
A comparison of prices in this city
with other cities whose prospects do
not compare with Los Angeles, will
show our prices are as a rule less per
front foot. Before 1920 South Broad
way and Spring street property will
be quoted at $4,000 per front foot, while
Hill street will run from $4,000 to
$4,000 per front foot. Even at these
prices there Will be a good margin
ten years from no.7."
Robert Marsh, prominent realty
dealer, who thoroughly understands
every phase of the question, is of the
opinion that investors will never let
their interest abate in close-in prop
erty. He said: Tough many pieces
of business property in the heart of
Los Angeles have changed hands many
times, and many more early sales are
contemplated, there are capitalists who
have money to invest in this kind Of
property, and these same capitalists,
who are shrewd men of the world,
would not so invest their money unless
they saw good margins. Yes, sir
again say that there are many good
purchases to be made in close-in prop
erty'
Downtown property sales have been
quite numerous during the past few
weeks, this fact plainly showing that
close-in investments are money makers.
In speaking on the sale of close-in
property o. e. Parish of Mines q
Parish said: "This months building
permits, which are in excess of $3,000-
900 in valuation, clearly demonstrates
that permanent improvements are un-
der way. This is good factor in the
city's progressive movement, for too
much vacant property is not good. A
good many of these improvements are
in the downtown district, and in my
estimation the best speculation on
earth, regardless of wild deals in oil,
can be made in the close-in district of
Los Angeles"
F. C. Nellis connected with Silent &
Co, is another firm believer that
careful spectators can make good in
vestments in downtown property. In

The pretty little suburb of Eagle

laid gas mains with the city system,
