In speaking or his future enterprise,
Mr.. Coolidge says:
81 was asked by large financial in
terests OF New York and the middle
West to represent them in investments
in Washington real estate, both i'm
proved and acreage. They realize
what Washington is destined to be-
come with the effecting Of peace AMI
its ever-growing population, and are
seeking a certain market for large
and profitable permanent investments.

greater returns for the near future,
and with the opening Of building &C
tivities now started should show a
striking increase in real estate values
within the next few years.
The new company will open offices
