MAN, SAYS HE HAS CALLS
FOR THAT MANY.
SEVERAL HOUSES ARE FOR SALE.
But Home Seekers Want to Rent or
Lease for Present--More Activity
in City Real Estate Trading and
Building. al lR'5G

There is demand for at least 100
houses to rent In Columbia said Cliff
Hendley of the real estate firm OF
Hendley, Thomas & Hendley, this
morning "We have had calls for that
many within the past few weeks" he
said "and have been able to supply
but few of Them" et
Mr. Hendley said that while there
is a number of houses for sale, they
are all occupied and cannot be rented.
The persons seeking homes here are
largely heads of families that do not
wish to purchase homes Immediately,
but probably many of them after be-
coming located here would buy their
homes. J~iGa eIHcA
During the past week three men
have been here from other towns look
ing for homes and several other fami-
lies already residing here and board
ing are waiting for an opportunity to
rent or lease homes. @sT$ii
Mr. Hendley said that this situation
has naturally stimulated the city real
estate business and that several sales
have been made, the buyers being
men who were compelled to- buy in or
der to secure homes for their families.
are abundant indications that
there will be considerable building
activity in Columbia during the sum

are making estimates on several
buildings and improvements.
This situation has brought about
renewal of the discussion Of the con-
struction of an apartment house.
which would provide homes for
score of small families. Columbia Is
one of the few large towns in this
section that have no apartment house.
Under. ordinary conditions, it is said,
an apartment house would be kept oc-
cupied, and now that the.demand for
homes is so great, such apartments
would be at a Premium. s'As
