tioneers, at the Brooklyn Real Estate
Exchange, 1879 Montague street.
That the sale presents q wide range of
choice and decision to speculators and
investors in lots located on or adjacent
10 rapid transit lines is indicated by the
fact that the properties to be sold are
within the effective zone Of the Fourth
