While there has not been that rsan1ss
and hustle about the real estate marsA
kct that has marked some OF the
weeks of the present year. there 49,
nice line of conservative, stxAbleDN
seasonable business closed during the
week.
Everything that developed during
the week but served to show thAN
Irresistible trend OF the city to tn
West. In fact. everybody seems 81
be going West to grow UP with that
end Of the city and there are scrnes
who think that the new RichmoudA
College property at westhampton Will
In the heart of town, notwithstanding
the evident desire of its promoters ~
get cut Of the hustle of the busy
tnrong.
Much that has happened in recent
weeks has caused the rosy prospectos
OF the West End to take on an even
more roseate hue. Many great In
dustries are in operation In this
growing West; others are even now
having their plants constructed: while
others are planning to build.
All this has meant that for long
time the larger deals have been
negotiated in this section and during
the present week this tendency has
been as strong. II not stronger. than
ever.
