WEST SACRAMENTO
SALES MOUNT UP
New City to Be Completed
Before First Lots Are
Offered Public

An affidavit report filed this week
by the land sales department of the
West Sacramento company shows that
Approximately 1900 acres in small
farms and totaling more than $500, 900
have been sold during the last five
months in the new garden farms dis
trict in West Sacramento.
This record establishes a new prece-
dent in the selling of high class agri-
cultural lands in California and fndi-
Gates an increased demand for small
farms of the best type.
The selling campaign has attracted
unusual attention by It's quiet dignity
and the lack of sensationalism shows
also that the public is becoming in
terested more and more in the idea of
restricted and modernly developed
home sections.

company intended an added expendi-
ture of $4,000, 900 in the immediate de-

harder ocean winds. The location is a
natural residence park. followed out
