la Vcta-the Treasure Box

La Ctd-the Treasure Box.
 That is the name of the new resi- dential subdivision north of the city and east of the Indian school, the opening of which occurs this morn ing. Forty acres. on the east side of North Seventh street running along the Grand Canal Boulevard to point near where the Glendale car crosses tho canal-this forms the basis for the delectable home ranch subdivision proposition.
 J $. Griffin and F. E. Kalfus are putting La Ncta on the market. The tract Is being handled by Grinstalf and Standage, of GTiffin's office.
 La Neta was subdivided into full half acre tracts. principally in order to add moderately priced suburban acreage proposition to the list of tracts offered by the firm. When the stakes were put in, room was pro- vidcd for the street to run straight through the center, and the survey is made in such a way that each lot contains the full half acre
 There will be no great ceremony attending the opening of this treasure box The tract will simply be open to investigation this morning, and for sale in the usual way tomorrow.
 The location is convenient to sub urban dweIers Il lies between the Glendale and the Indian school car line, which parallel each other at half a mile distant at this point. Car service into town, brings the tract much closer to the business center than some not located near the tracks

The greatest movement in America today is that if the Little Landers, the men who are purchasing small tracts in suburban districts and who are both working working in town and work ing their property. The success of the Little Landers in intensive cultivation has drawn attention to them and now it is being generally conceded that the heighth of comfortable existence is to have place upon which good living can he made in the odd moments and to have a position or a small business in town
 The epitome of choice in the oppor- tunities for those who desire to be- come Little Landers is found in the new MeadoWbrook district of Greene and Griffin. since the building of the neat little station there the inquiries for this sort of property have increas- ed wonderfully according to members of the Greene and Griffin office.
