capital of 100000. Each stockholder will,
upon the complete organization of the

affairs of the company. The tremendous
strides made by this leading real estate
concern have been largely due to the in
telligent and persistent efforts of Mr. Will
Iigc. who has been conspicuously identi-
fed with the real estate business of the
National Capital since 1888, when he as
sociated himself with the firm of John
II. Crowley & Co., being junior member
of that concern. This firm succeeded to
the business of the late Charles H. Flick
ling, with offices at 7O5 Twelfth street
northwest and 1854 Wisconsin avenue. !
