To Give You an Idea

Ut what to expect when you come to see
this home let us acquaint you with
the fact that in less than two years we have
sold over $50 homes in this immediate
neighborhood.
During that time only twice did we
ever have completed home to offer.
The fact remains then that they were
successful homes; they were not only COM
Portable, artistic and well built, but THEY
WERE WORTH THE MONEY and
more, in fact, because many Of them have
resold at substantial profits.
There were eight lots left facing 18th
street and the question arose, "What shall
be built on them?'
THE ARCHITECT SAID: "BUILD
A TFIREE-STORY, TWENTY-FOOT
HOUSE WITH TWO BATHS AND
HOT-WATER HEAT, AND COM
BINE IN IT AS MANY OF THE
SUCCESSFUL FEATURES OF THE
OTHER 5OHOMES ASISPOSSIBLE."
IT WAS DONE.
And when it comes right down to a
question OF comfort, convenience, ventila-
ton, attractiveness, location, price and terms,
Washington has never seen its equal.
Sample House No. 3519 18th Street NV.
(Six blocks north of Park Road N.W.)
Heretofore the homes facing 18th have
sold as high as $3.50. $4,000 has been
refused twice for corners.
Little wonder that these homes are SELL
ing quickly.
Price, $3.50.
Terms within comfortable reach of you.
