WORKING MEMS
HOMES PLANNED
Enterprise in Mort h ern
Phoenix Proposed by
Phoenix Property Owner
Who Has Made Study OF
Model Villages Of Europe

An enterprise is on foot which IS
worklngmen of Phoenix. While am
pie provision has been made in Phoe-
nix for families who can pay from
thirty to forty dollars and upward
per month as rent, either as dl-
rect contribution to landlord, or as
taxes and interest on the money IN
vested in their own homes, the most
serious question now is, where are
families to live when the daily wage
Garner can only contribute from
twelve o., fifteen to twenty five dol
lars per month as rent?
At present such wants can not be
met excepting by going into an I'M
desirable district where the neigh
lorhood surroundings are not con-
ducive to the proper raising of a
young family.
This problem has been met and the
architectural plans are nearly com
pleted fo- extensive apartments that
will accommodate in the neighbor-
hood of one hundred families at d
very low rental.
These apartments will be located
just two blocks north of the mag
nificent Los Olives Homes and will
adjoin the beautiful new suburban
property now being sold by Greene
and Griffin.
Being directly on the Third street
car line, and only three minutes ride
from the center of town, it makes an
ideal home location foc workingmen

There will be two rows of buildings

Pacific Coast States, Of
Which Arizona is One,
Planning to Interest the
Landless Man in Manless
Land
by Harry WeIch)

Investigation has decided that agri-
culture offers the best opportunity on
the Pacific coast. The inquiry made
in view of the travel which will come
from Europe via the canal has been
most complete. As a result of the
findings the Pacific coast states are
Cornering general planning of
methods for the easy settlement of
The newly arrived immigrant on the
land. Lands, to be of advantage to
the immigrant who viii reach the
Pacific coast via the canal, must be
reasonable in price and the payments
must not be difficult to meet and
offer a ready means for making a
living.
II is reported that the development
throughout the coast states is great

lands, and the readjustment of this
condition will he the aim of the COM
missions which it is expected will

certainty that unless the opportuni-
ties TO settle on lands are attractive
the immigrant will locate in the cities
and towns with no advantage either

cities for any class of labor skilled
or unskilled There IS a demand on

Here is a condition which calls for

provided There will be added incen-
tive to irrigation enterprise both pri-

PHOENIX INDUSTRY
RAPIDLY GROWING
Manufacture of Paraffin Paint on an
Increasing Scale

A growing industry of Phoenix, in
spite of a lack of capital to push it, is
the manufacture of paraffine paint. 1t
is being made by Martin Torno after
an old Geiman process which had been
employed for fifty years and with
which TOrno had become familiar be-
fore coming to America. The base of
it IS para:tin and is much more dur
able than paint Of an oil base and is
especially ADAPTED to the painting and
preserving Ct shingles and all classes
of rough wood work exposed to the
weather. 1t is always elastic and new
er cracks
Mr.. Torno began the manufacture
of it in Phoenix several months ago and
the output is constantly increasing At
first it was made only in golden
brown color but other colors have been
added. On Friday Mr. Torno com
pleted an o'der of 400 gallons of brown,
black and green paint.
1t can he sold much cheaper than
any other paint used for the same pur-
poses 1t is sold at retail at 81 a gal
lon. 1t mas a covering capacity equal
to that Of the best oil paint and it is
much more heat resisting and desra-
bic. Local builders who have tried it
once have since used it.
1t is the intention of Mr.. Torno to
enlarge his plant at 331 West Wash
ington street and develop trade which
will extend along the coast.

MEADOWBROOK ACRES
SOUGHT BY CITY WORKERS

Few places in the world offer the
same opportunity as this valley for the
city worker to own an acre in the
country and yet close enough to town
for his daily work. MeadoWbrook
which is being developed by Greene &
Griffin is one of the many tracts that
give the city worker the chance he
has been looking for. Here the rich
alfalfa provides food for the cow and
the chickens and these features OF
country life combined go a long way
towards paying the expense of the fam
lily table. Many instances are on rec
ord where the acre intelligently cult
waited has supported the entire family.
Meadowbrook on account of its car line
convenience is extra desirable as the
into his yard. It's the back to the soil
principle, the desire of all to cut down
the high cost of living, to have the
fresh cream, milk, butter, eggs and
chicken without having to part with
the entire months salary. Best of all
is the good health and long life that go
with the country life. Children grow
up strong and vigorous and a credit
alike to the family and the nation. For
these reasons tracts like Meadowbrook
will attract more and more and the city
worker who takes the initive is the
healthy successful property owner of

WONDERFUL GROWTH Of
PHOENIX HOME BUILDERS
Three Quarters of Million Invested
Since Company Was Formed by
Green and Griffin Four Years
Ago.

The remarkable growth of Arizo-
mas first Home Builders is a strik
ing proof of the high standard of its
investments and of the estimation in
vestors have of investments in the
Salt River valley. Paying per cent
on par in quarterly payments of 2
per cent each, this stock has ad-
vanced in value from $100 to $1.25
and the original investors at $1.0O
are now being paid 10 per cent on
their first investment.
A showing like this is sure to at
tract the investors and a further
examina ton of the various proper
ties in which the Home Builders
money is invested reveals the gilt
edge type of securities this company
has chosen for its risks. In Chelsea
direction of Greene & Griffen have
developed a resident section that is
the pride of Phoenix. It's location
fronting on Central avenue boulevard
is absolutely the best. The grade of
homes cannot be equalled and the
rapidity of its growth is a striking
example of the New Phoenix.
Their investments are also to be
found i'll Evergreen Place East Ev-
ergreen, Las Palmas, Bonnie View.
and the Capital Addition. Their rep
utation for stability in house build ,
ing has become general and their
architectural department has design
cd
correct and suitable to the climatic
conditions of the Southwest. with
the result that not week passes but
plans are being furnished throughout
Arizona, so great has become their
reputation fo- detail and thorough
ness. Phoenicans may VOL be pleas
ed to know that today this company
IS the largest in the west outside of
Los Angeles. Likewise the record OF
this company of having been the
largest builders of homes in the last
four years shows that it is a typi-
cal western product, and while keep
ing pace with the progress of Phoe-
nix, its conservative management
lacked up by strong board of d.
rectors selected from the older bus
mess firms of Phoenix has resulted
in eastern capital being invested
more heavily than is usual in a new
company.
The directors have returned this
confidence by a close inspection and
supervision with the result that the
reputation of Phoenix investments
have been benefited by scores of res
licences that would be a credit to the
largest cities in America.
