To Spend a Million in
Encouraging AOiation

Berlin, Germany, Jan. 1.-THE na-
tiOnal aviation committee purposes TO
spend nearly a million dollars In the
encouragement Of aviation in Germany
during 1914, according to plans recent
" announced. This is more than dou-
Bile the amount expended last year
when a total OF $425,O0O was appro-
priated.
The committee has already COM
mitted itself to spend $780, 900 and fur
Their appropriations OF about $500, 900
are proposed. Large sums are set
aside for instruction for aviators, for
insurance for prizes, for awarding the
inventors of the best motors for avia-
ton purposes, for promoting aviation
in the German colonies, for establish
ing hydrOaeroplane stations along the
seacOast and for aviation schools at
Johannisthal and Munich. In view OF
the advances IN aviation the commit
tee has decided that it viii no longer
pay premiums for flights Of one hour
but viii place the low limit for en-
durance flights at two hours.
Prince Henry OF Prussia, who pre-
sided at the recent annual meeting OF
the committee, reviewed the enor-
nous progress that has been effected
between the time the Wright brothers
made their first flight OF % seconds
just 10 years ago and the record OF
q hours made recently by Victor
Stoeffler
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1914-01-17

all his time to the purchasing Of mate
rial and construction work.
7. NJ. Mayfield plays an important
part in the cOmpany7s affairs, being
thoroughly familiar, as Is his brother,
with all branches of the work His
part is in the office, where ne makes
a fellow feel like he must buy one o.
the Mayfield homes"
Joe G. Klapper, who, though a com
paratively young man, has had a wide
and varied experience in real estate, has
been with the firm about a year, but
prior to casting his lot in El Paso, got
a splendid experience as secretary
treasurer of the Real Estate Exchange
company in Washington, D. C.
Capital An Paid In
When the Mayfield Building and I'm
provement company supplanted the
original organization and incorporated.
its capital stock was made S150.000, and
the stock is all paid IN. This fact at
once made the company stronger finan-
cially and more able to expand its oper-
atoms, which it is rapidly doing.
If one viii only 90 out and look over
the building work already accomplished
and see what is already under way, he
must admit that the Mayfield Building
and Improvement company is helping
largely in Building Modern FL PasO"
and that it is entitled to wear its motto:
What Sterling Is to silver, 'Mayfield'
IS to q home"
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1914-01-17

of the Mayfield Building and Improve
ment company has so rapidly grown to
the proportions of an enviable one in
El PasO. The fact that it invites and
insists on inspection of its buildings
from the mixing Of concrete to the fin
lshlng Of the interior woodwork, is a
voucher for its claim to thOroughness
and honest construction. The company
insists that 'yOu will always find a
competent superintendent on the lob, I'M.
der whose supervision our homes are
erected The company officials delight
IN taking interested people out in their
automobiles to structures going up, and
showing them what is going on.
Pioneer Builders.
The MaYfleld company boasts that e
Is & pioneer builder in FL Paso. 1t was
organized seven years ago, on a mod
crate scale. Its name was then the
Mayfleld Realty company. It's organ
lzers, Messrs. Thomas NJ. and J. D.
Mayheld, both men Of wide experience in
real estate, had confidence in FL Paso's
future and determined to become a fac
tor IN its building. Starting on small
capital, the tlrm would buy a site and
build on IT, When a sale came they
bought another, and their buildings at
once began to inspire confidence.
Little by little they increased their
capital, buying more ground and spread.
ING out on their building operations IN.
til today the company owns nearly one
quarter Of a million dollars worth OF
real estate. This ground. is most de-
sirable. 1t is all practically in one
neighbOrhOOd. It is bounded by the 240O
to the 2900 blocks on Montana street,
Boulevard and Rio Grande streets.
Ten Bungalows.
The first building operation of the
company IN this locality was the con-
struction OF ten handsome bungalows
on the south side of Wyoming street,
on the POO block. The next under.
taking was ten bungalows on the north
side Of Rio Grande street on the $500
block. This venture proved a distinctive
encouragement to the company, showing
the confidence Of the people, not only in
Ell Paso, but in the MaYfield Building
and Improvement company, then known
as the Mayfield Realty company. The
company claims that all these twenty
bungalows were sold before the roof
was on.
Since then another row of handsome
homes have been built on the 200 block
of the Boulevard and all of them are
