GENERAL DEMAND IN REALTY
MARKET FOR CITY PROPERTY

the fall. The demand for rent houses
and quarters for tourists during the
fall and winter is expected to be eX-
ceptionally large.
The question that is confronting
builders and realty dealers is to get
the present planned wock far enough
ahead so that there will be no trouble
in accommodating all those who come
for the elegant climate in the two
closing seasons of the year.
There is a demand for lots for the
home builder of moderate means.
There is quite a little of this class
of property still to be had, however,
but the additions at present on the
market, close to the city, are being
rapidly sold off This will lead to
still further additions being put on
the market within the next few
months.
When all this is said and done. it
means that Phoenix is experiencing
a steady and wholesome growth. The
school census, the posoffice growth,
the increase in the telephone ex
change, the extension of the street
car lines, all are indicating that
Phoenix is growing

the so-called Berlin style of low
neck, but that. for example. the arms
of the dresses shall be without lin
ing. In any case visible distinction
between fully low necked dresses and
others must be maintained"
This solemn note concerning the
dressmakers' art must have caused
an excited flutter among the court
circles at Buckeburg. Here in Ber-
lin, however. many were even for
getful of where this small town lies
and Of what principality it is the
capital. The rather ominous and
much-resented allusion to the Berlin
style however caused many an at
las to be opened in order to discover
that it is the capital of the principal-
ity of Schaumburg -Lippe So after
second thought the Berlners have
decided not to trouble themselves I'M
duly with this suggestion that the
evening gowns worn here are rather
unseemly, if not immodest.

MORE HOMES NEEDED
IN PHOENIX THIS FALL
Scarcity of Homes Predicted by Well

Despite its record of two homes

see a scarcity of homes for those
newcomers who are intending to take
up their residence in Phoenix With

to be received, inquiring about
houses for rent in the fall. Many of
the writer's state they are coming
to take up a permanent residence.
1t is a noticeable fact that of late
years houses are becoming scarcer.
A walk through the town shows a
smaller number of houses for rent
than ever before in the history of
the city. What to do with the
thousands of tourists who will come
to Phoenix this fall is the question
that is bothering the real estate man.
A tour of the real estate offices
revealed the fact that there are
about forty houses for rent, and of
this number over 20 per cent of them
are listed in every office in town,
so that the renting of one house
takes about Is houses off the list.
as each office has it listed. which
makes the number look large This
being the case. the cealty dealers
want TO know where they are going
to place the tourist after he arrives.

are for immediate use by home

house all that come to its gates this
winter.

Phoenix. Showing Healthy
Growth on All Sides =
Predicted Demand for
Quarters for Tourists
During Fall and Winter

The real estate market for the
week shows steady demand for
city property, as against the general
demand for the past few weeks of
farm property. \ perusal of the
list Of sales and exchanges will show
this to be the fact. 1t was stated
yesterday by several prominent
realty dealers that they were eX-
periencing this demand. 1t is re-
garded as perfectly healthy and i'll
no way interferes with the values
of the country property.
1t is a well known fact that all
classes of property have their sea-
sons of greater or less popularity,
but AT this time the demand for city
property is regarded as peculiarly
healthy in view of the coming of

quarterly dividend for the quarte-
ending June 80 The growth of the
company, it's conservative method of
doing business had attracted to its
fold some of the strongest business
talent of this section.
One of the habits of some of the
heaviest of the stockholders is to
turn in the dividend checks at the
end of each quarter for the purpose
of obtaining more stock. One man
has, recently obtained twenty-five
additional shares by this means.
When his dividend comes next quar-
ter it will naturally be heavier by
the twenty two shares he has REIN
vested in, and so on until he has
obtained the holdings in the organi-
zation he desires.
