Construction of Houses on
AuctiOned Lots.

Several years ago the late william
Ziegler foresaw great possibilities IN the
suburban realty field and invested huge
sums in the purchase and development
of residential properties on Long Island
Staten Island and in New Jersey. These
properties. which up TO that time had
been farm lands. were built up rapidly.
During the recent depression in the
realty market, however. building and
selling came to a standstill temporarily.
subsequently these holdings came into
possession of William Ziegler, Jr,, by
inheritance The latter, animated by a
desire to relieve in part at least the
present housing shortage, decided to
place the properties on the market and
assist those DESTROYS Of building homes
by advancing the necessary funds for
building. To facilitate matters for the
uninitiated in the details and intricacies
of erecting a home, arrangements have
been made with a building concern OF
national reputation to prepare plans and
designs OF dwellings and bungalows
which will be submitted upon request
from buyers for inspection. The same
concern is also prepared to furnish every
item of material going into the house
and proceed with immediate construc-
ton.
The sale will be conducted by Bryan
L. Kennedy, auctioneer. in the Vesey
street salesroom. commencing on Satur-
day morning. November 8, at IL o'clock.
and will continue on the following Mon
day and Tuesday until every lot and
house has been sold to the highest bid
