GLOVER ANNOUNCES
AUCTION OF A TRACT
IN N. BOULEVARD

The Charles P. Glover Realty Com
pany announced today the sale of the
property Of Peacock & Seals for May
Is at O'Clock.
This property is located on North
Boulevard, three blocks north of Ponce
DeLeon avenue. The tract has been
cut up into Al lots Two new bunga-
lows are for sale az the same time.
Il think this auction will prove the
most popular sale held this spring. 1t
is surprising to find out how few really
good lots are available on the north
side in this section of the city" said
Mr.. Clover.
The development of Piedmont park
and the opening up of the streets in
tervening between Piedmont park and
Ponce DeLeon avenue has put on the
market the last available acreage this
side of the railroads. Houses in this
section are eagerly bought up by the
constantly increasing number of home
buyers. So we expect the lots to be
snapped up
I'VE have held the property off the
market until we could make every inn

Hollow Tile Grows
Unpopular Favor as
Residence Material

That Atlanta is the recognized pro-
gressive city of the South is due pri-
marily to the fact that the citizens are
quick to adopt any article of merit.
While hollow tile has been used from
the earlier days of modern fre-ploof
Office and public buildings. it was not
until recently adopted for residences.
Examples of what is being done with
hollow tile are the Singer building. the
PENNSYLVANIA and Grand Central Ter
minals in New York city, the enormous
22-story building of the Peoples Gas
Company. the Chicago and Northwest
ern Terminal and other great struc-
lures built and now being built on a
similar scale" says c. Fred Damn, Of
the Atlanta Suburban Realty Company
about five years ago hollow tile was
considered available for residences, and
has since been adopted by thousands of
home builders in the North and West.
Its cost for maintenance and repairs
is far less than in the case with build
ings of frame or brick and wood. 1t
never requires painting.
1--WE have had numerous INQUIRIES III
regard to the stability of the stucco on
hollow tile. We admit that stucco an
piled over expanded metal has never
proven satisfactory Dampness will in
varaby work through and will cause
the wood studs and siding to expand
and settle This will cause unsightly
cracks to appear in the wall This diff
fculty has been eliminated by the use
of hollow tile, which forms an absolute
bond with the stucco and results in a
masonry wall which can not settle. An
other mistaken idea of those not famil-
lar with this construction is the cost.
In experienced hands hollow tile rest
dence can be erected al practically the
same cost of wood constructed house
and far cheaper than brick or brick
veneer.
There are several hollow tile resi-
dences in Atlanta we have one now in
course of construction at 9O5 East Fifth
street
