Fact Many Persons Buy
Houses in Washington.

The purchase Of the Danford apart
ment house, at 1423 Harvard street
northwest by James B. White. of Viz
ginia. for consideration approximate
ing $4,000, calls attention TO the de-
STABILITY Of Washington apartment
houses as safe and profitable invest
ments for persons who do not live in

Most Of the moderate priced apart
ment houses. those which range in
value from $4,000 to $4,000 and more,
are built as speculations rather than
permanent Investments of the builders.
The builder. after the apartment Is
filled with tenants. or nearly so. Is
ready to sell for his profit, and rhe re-
suit Is that any numoer of apartments
have been purchased and may still be
purchased for prices which VIII allow
a high percentage on investment
In addition TO this. The value OF apart
ment houses IN the northwest section
is constantly increasing and there no
longer appears TO be any rear mat tne
field is becoming oyercrowded.
The Danford Is a typical apartment
of the non-elevator type. II Is tnree
stories and basement in height. con.
tajEing twelve apartments. The ot
fronts sixsy~seven feet on Harvard
street and has a depth of l45 feet. Tne
was effected through the
