Informed as TO real estate ana in
dustrlal conditions IL Mr.. T. q smith
the well known real estate agent.
Mr.. Smith has given a great part o.
life time 10 the study OF real estate
In this section. and his comments
upon the sohdity OF Wheeling real
estate investments are therefore o.
more than ordinary interest. Mr.
Smith H. an enthusiastic believer m
Wheeling real estate. and especially
In high grade sur burban property. tie
points out that In spite % the rer--n,
business depression. real estate values
In Wheeling have not materially de-
creased. and surburban property has
on the other hand generally increased
In value. Speaking on this subJec.
10 a representative OF The lnteligen
Ger. Mr.. Smith said.
Il don't think anything could fur
nish more striking demonstration
OF the solidity Of Wheeling a. bust
ness center. than the course OF the
real estate market during the Tase
eighteen months. In spite OF the de
preston, We have had continued acti-
witty in real estate. especially IN our
suburban localities. and prices have
been well maintained Wheeling Is IN
the center OF great coal mining dis
trict. These mines when in operation
pay out fully a million dollars a month
They have been idle for the past four
teen months The big Riverside mlI:
has been idle Tor nearly the same
length OF time. II not longer and All
the other Industries have been running
on forty or sixty per cent basis
Nevertheless real estate values have
been well maintained throughout TINS
section and IN suburban localities ap-
preciable advances have been MADE
