Reports Show Greater
Popularity of Bright
waters, L. |.

The western part of Suffolk County,
especially the southern and middle sec
tions. has shown some creditable real
estate progress in the spring and carly
summer Of this year. While the sales
Of plots and houses have held their
own as compared to last season, the
renting season in some sections, par
ticularly at Bayshore, has shown some
decided advances. A cottage on Clinton
av. that rented for $3.50 last year com
manded $500 this year for the four
months. A house on this same avenue
below the South County Road was sold
a month. or so ago for $4,000. Last
fall an offer Of $4,000 was entertained
by the broker, but, fortunately for the
owner. the prospective purchaser
backed out at the time. These are only
tao instances that indicate the general
trend Of progress in this salt and pure
air country.
IL is generally conceded that the lure
of the seashore has been en- lmpelllng
factor in the development OF Bright
waters. one of the most attractive
suburban home colonies in New 1orks
committing zone. Summer pleasures are
rampant at this particular point on
Great South Bay. The lakes, the trees
and the picturesque surroundings, in
GLIDING a magnificent yacht harbor l2j
feet wide and a mile long, furnish al
most every known brand of summer
advertisement known to the pleasure
seeker.

ally called Brentwood in the Pines.
Owing 20 the fortunate growth of lux
uriant pines, Brentwood has been Sc
lected as the desirable location Of sew
erai we'll known enterprises and edi-
fees. st. Joseph's Academy, one of the
show places of Long Island, immedi-
ately adjoins the development Of the
Brentwood Realty Company, a park
like subdivision thickly covered with
mammoth pine trees and sensibly laid
out with modern streets and walks.
Several new families have this year
taken up permanent residence in this
park forming in conjunction with the
older, but fully developed surround
ings, a progressive home centre. The
climate of Brentwood, which by United
States government records show sew
enty-two days more sunshine than New
York City, and the pleasant odor Of
the pines. together with its nearness
TO Bayshore, makes it a most desirable
place from home and investment
point of view.

One of the interesting features o.
the export trade in electrical products
is the very rapid growth in the ex-
portation of electrical appliances and
apparatus as compared with electrical
machinery. During the eight years
from 1905 TO 1913, the value OF the ex-
portations Of electrical machinery has
remained constant, while the value Of
the exports of electrical appliances
and apparatus has more than trebled.
For the manufacturer who is inter
ested in the Development of the export
trade a New York location means a
lover cost of production because il
eliminates the transportation cost from
the, factory to tidewster; il furnishes
unegualled shipping facilities to al
parts of the world and is the only port
in the United States which can give
the manufacturer direct connections
with the growing markets in South
America

HARLEM DEAL IN

Theatre Will Be Erected on Hig-

and 125th SITS.

Final contracts we're exchanged yes
tcrday in an interesting lease on Har-
LENS chief business thoroughfare,
which involves the extensive improve
mcnt Of a property held in one owner
hip for nearly q century. The lease,
which involves rentals aggrogating
more than 100000 was negotiated

end affects the premises at 3l2 to 322
West l25th st.. extending through to
32l to 3S1 West 12lth ST., between
Eighth and st. Nicholas avs.
The lease is for 207 years, and diff
fers from the ordinary long lease in
that it is not made with periods OF OPP
tional renewal, but runs straight for
the entire term. The rental Is at a
fixed figure for certain period, and
thereafter il based on appraisals. On
the present basis the total will aggro-
/ gate about 100000. but it is probable
/ that this figure will be greatly in
creased by future valuations.
The site il now covered with old five
story altered buildings on l25th st. and
private dwelling houses on 124th St,
and has frontages of 100 feet on each
street and a depth of 200 feet. The
lessee contemplates improving the site
with a five story Office and store build
ing on 125th st and large theatre
seating 2,400 on l2ith st. The theatre
will have IN entrance on l25th st. Ne
gotiations are we'll under way for a
lease of the theatre to a moving pict-
ure film manufacturer, TO be used for
exclusive productions.
The property has been in the Hig-
gins family for seventv-iye years. A
few years ago Mr.. Gibson leased for
the same owner the northeast corner
Of Broadway and 95th st. for term of
900 years. In the present deal the

New York Offers Other
Advantages to Makers
of Such Wares. -
MANY FIRMS PRODUCE
NUMEROUS THINGS
Some Companies Attribute Their
Success to Proper Labor
Supply Here.
PREPARED by the Industrial Bureau Of
the Merchants Association.

The largest part Of the production
Of electrical goods in New York is
made up Of a great variety Of different
electrical supplies and specialties.
Among the more important divisions
are the manufacture Of flashlights,
rheostats, magnetic ignition apparatus,
electrical measuring instruments, cleo
trio switches, electric signals and other
attachments.
In this kind Of production small
manufacturer turning out great yarl-
ETY. Of different products Is typical,
Frequently one establishment will turn
out between fifteen and twenty differ
ent electrical appliances. As IN the
manufacture Of lamps, the distinctive
advantage Of New York location lies
in the direct access to the New YORK
market, and once success has been OBJ
tanned i'm this market the New York
location furnishes the manufactures
With natural distributing facilities TO
other parts Of the United States.
There is no industrial centre which
can compare with this city in furnish
ing an intelligent labor supply 81 rels-
tiveIy low cost. One of the largest
producers Of electric flashlights and
dry batteries stated that he thought
the ease with which proper labor
supply could be obtained in New York
City had been one of the significant
factors in the very remarkable success
of his company. A very large electri-
cal manufacturer pointed out that his
company had found it necessary TO
manufacture the switchbosrds and 81.
tings for New York Office buildings in
this city because of the necessity OF
meeting the exact requirements.
Another factor Of Importance is the
fact that New York is the centre for
I buyers from all parts Of the country.
This enables the small electrical man
/ ufacturer in New York with compare
lively little effort to develop a wide
| spread acquaintance in the trade and
I to create a clientele for the general
distribution Of his products.
One Of the striking features Of the
/ development Of the electrical industry
in the United States has been the rapid
and steady growth of the export trade.
In 1905 the total value Of such exports
amounted to S12,253,904, while in 1918
the value of such exports was S26,-
772,8l6. New York, on account of its
shipping facilities, Is the dominant
shipping point for foreign markets.
The following table brings out the
relative Importance Of New York's OK
ports of electrical products:
