These aphorisms and facts emanate
from the Real Estate Board of Brokers.
No. ll5 Broaday:
We have new name for fifteen story
buildings In our town now-we call EN-
"shacks"
We like the oldfashioned real estate
agent, he takes himself so seriously. He's
a bouncing, bounding, bilious joke, only he
doesn't know IT. Tenants dealing with
him can afterward read of the Spanish
Inqulsition with understanding He's the
hardest man to do business with we know
OF except Digger Indian, but always he
thinks he's thinking and IS as dignified
and impressive and as solid as a dirigible
balloon.
Gasolene does not become non-inilam-
mable from a chill in the atmosphere
when the o. f.. L. f.. \. comes around.
We brand that statement as an unadulter-
ated. mendacious and iridescent falSehood.
High tension electricity Is said to Kill
mosquitoes-and men.

From a Manhattan
Brokers' Point Of Vfese'

Three and four story skyscrapers are
being erected in Japan.
Methusaleh was a frisky kitten alongside
of the lost soul who means his way through
life so tell your troubles to the police, we
have some OF our own.
Women are the ones who establish real
estate values in retail trade sections. They
like nice places for shopping, like Fifth
avenue. They do not like to venture into
the downtown business whirl. Those who
ride I'm carriages will not go where they
have to mix with trucks and rough traffic.
This is why operators and merchants
choose the vantage points-they know
where women like 10 shop.
When bad luck comes your way and just
seems to pursue you-stop, look and listen
until you know where you are mismanaging
things
Get rid OF your regrets You are what
you are from what you have experienced.
And, rightly understood and accepted all
experiences are good, the bitter ones best
Of all.

Tho new speculative fields OF Westchester
County, would be noted at this time. II
was thought early in the year, for big
operations.
Some large buyers are activein the zones
to be traversed by the Westchester North'
ern Railroad, and more are bound for them
But neither the present nor expected ac-
uyity has diverted attention from the oio
md we'll beaten paths. The list OF safes
rarninds one of the early summer seasons
of 1909, 1910 and 1911.
Mount Vernon, Tarrytown, White Plains
and New Rochelle are furnishing their
usual quota of sales, and the other inter-
estine items are reports of speculative or
investment operations in the high class de-
velopments, which are a good ride By car
r,aee from the big residential centres.
Westchester is so rich in land with nat
ural and artificial charms that no DIVISION
of this great suburban territory seems TO
be more favored with buyers and builders
than another. Buyers Will often appear 10
be gathered in the Sound shore section.
Then the next time an analysis is ma ue
OF the realty situation there they VIII De
found in biggest numbers In. the Hudson
Valley division or the Harlem Valley region
or in the lower Putnam Valley section.
The preference Of the majority OF buyers
In the country just now Is for houses ana
acreage plots along or near the bank OF
the Hudson River.
Another tendency of affairs In the coun-
try indicates that Peekskill is more popu-
lar place with the summer home people
than ever before in its history 1t deserves
TO be. II 1t isn't one Of the most progress
sive and one Of the most beautiful towns In
the metropolitan suburban district then
those who think they know what's what In
realty, as the saying is, will have to be-
gin all over again TO learn what are the ac-
curate realty measurements.
Peekskill has been also noted for. yeers
