81 90, 900 Worth
of Work
Represented BY Building OPERA
tions of Griffin Bros, Norfolk

A recent Norfolk, Va, daily con-
tains an interesting article relative
to the business success of two
Newark boys, graduates of Della
ware College, classes of 1901 and
1907. The article follows:
when a contracting firm MAX
ing a speciality Of residences COM
pletes and starts within year al
most 100000 worth of work, re-
cords more inquiries about pros
pective work than it had received
in the past three years, and sees in
1916 year that promises to estab-
lish new building records in and
around Norfolk, the situation with
regard to substantial residential
development must be viewed from
any but a discouraging ang'e.
"While 1915 has not been as ac-
tive as some former years in the
line of large business buildings,
due wholly to the general business
depression, operations of contrac-
tors who devote most of their time
to erecting homes Of the better
class have been surprisingly ac-
tive.
Contractors E. B. and H. D. Grif-
fin, Arcade building, have this
year completed and accepted con-
tracts for upwards of $4,000 of
new homes and before the close of
the year they expect several more
contracts that will swell the total
considerably above 100000.
"This week Griffin Brothers were
awarded five residence contracts,
all two-story brick and located in
Colonial Place. Three are for S.
L. McGonigal, of the Colonial
Place Corporation. They will be
built on Pennsylvania avenue and
will cost $4,000 each. The other
two are for Collins and Van Den
bergh, on Maryland avenue, and
will cost $4,100 each. The five
contracts aggregate S21, 100.
Within the next two weeks they
will complete a two-story brick
, residence for L. B. Tabb, on James
town Boulevard, in Larchmont,
costing $4,000, and a two-story
! brick residence for Captain G. T.
: Taylor on the waterfront, in Ches-
terfeld Heights, costing $4,000.
They have just completed the
brickwork for two-story home
. for Garfield Shafer on jamestown
: Boulevard, Larchmont, which will
!, cost $500.
"The last of six attractive homes
O for S. L. McGonigal, in Colonia

/ residences have been completed
