John Stringham Believes OPP
pOrtunitieS Here Are Better
Than in California.
DETERMINES TO CAST
LOT WITH SALT LAKE
Rejects Number of Real Estate
Propositions Near Los Angeles
After Investigation.

Give me Utah climate and Salt Lake
business opportunities all of the time. -
said John StrIngham, a prominent real
estate dealer OF Salt Lake. who is home
after three weeks spent in southern Cali
iornla. "Of course. our party had n fine
time. We went on the JEks excursion
ana, along with hundreds OF others. en-
Joyed the hospitality OF the Elks and the
ciiizens In general OF Los Angeles and
other places in southern California.
In company with my brother, we in
Nestigatcd some suburban lot PROPOSE
ttons. We came away more convinced
than ever that right here In Salt Lake
are as good opportunities for investments
the sale OF lots is concerned the market
in Los Angeles is not as strong as it Is
here now. ! think along that line there
is little difference in the movement OF
zeal estate between Los Angeles and Salt
Lake. Acreage seems to be the biggest
seller down there and that means that
outsiders are coming in and buying from
one TO ten acres for homes.
I'VE investigated several plats OF thirty
ing and plating into city lots, but after
going over the situation we decided that
things are triile too dull there To war
raul the move. | believe IL is hard to
ind n more enjoyable climate than we
nave right here in Utah. take II the year
around. OF course, two or three months
during the winter season would be all
right there, hut for the rest OF the year
give me Utah.
AT the time az my visit In Los An
Eclcs there were thousands of tourists
in the city. Most of the business Of the
stores, IL seemed 20 me. came from the
transients."

were sadly mistaken. No sooner was the
