the days Of the Romans. The csplanade

Boulevard was the horizontal part Of a
rampant. The adoption of boulevard in
the sense in which 1t is now used began
more than 200 years ago. In writings
of two centuries old the boulevard instead
Of being the top Of rampant was the
void space between the glasic of cita-
del and the first houses Of the town; I'm

fort and town.
In time the term was extended To other
vacant spaces suitable for promenading.

many profits were made from merely
buy.ng property and turning 1t over.
Largest gains these days are to he

agreed that present day opportunities

especially numerous. the chances for

holding 81 property for It's income and
for the uncarned increment after a

now. during a countrywide business de-

they have been in many years. and as
sw probably as they ever will be in
this CITY Rents Of course are low too
IN many sections. but that Is merely
the result Of a lack of demand for space
caused by the lack of business.
That with the resumption Of activity
