TENANTS BUYING
OWN APARTMENTS
IN new YORK
Biz Structures Recently Sold
TO Associations Formed by
Occupants.

NEW YORK. June 15.-An own
your own apartment movement IS
in full swing here. Two late evil
dences or its growing strength are
the purchase by the tenants for
$4,000. 900 Of AN apartment house
on FIFTH av. and the starting OF con-
struction on "a cooperative apart
ment on Park av, which Is 20 cost
$1,000. 900.
Just the other day it was an
nounced that Woodrow Court, an
apartment house occupying the en-
tire block front on upper Broad
way. between 169tn and 10th SITS.
had been sold for 100000 20 the
90 families residing in the struc-
ture This is said 10 be the first
deal OF such magnitude 10 be 100
percent cooperative and in which
tenants OF moderate means have
participated. In this deal each ten
ant only put up a few thousand dol
lars in cash In the Fifth av. trans
action each tenant was called upon
for $3.50. 900 in cash.
Starti~y about eight months ago
the transactions in cooperative buy
ing Of apartments have mounted in
volume until they are presently a
fixture OF realty dealings and all OF
the larger real estate agencies main
tain special departments IN which
the employees do nothing else but
handle the sales OF apartment houses
10 tenants. This Is generally a
profitable transaction for the owner
for tenants are willing 20 pay more
10 retain their homes than specula-
tors or investors would pay and II
is said 10 be profitable for the ten
ants in that they assure themselves
IL homes at a cost of only about
seven years average rentals.
Buy Commercial Buildings.
Tenants are approached both in
dividuaIly and through mass meet
ings when agents have apartment
houses TO offer. The tenants are
given "a certain length OF time TO
decide and if they wish TO take the
propert, the agents form a company
to own the building 10 which only
tenants may subscribe 10 stock. The
purchaser OF the stock gets go
year lease.
The shortage Of Office and com
nerciaI space has been only second
90 that for housing purposes in New
York and cooperative purchasing of
office and loft buildings by tenants
has begun. although Is has not as
vet reached the proportions OF
apartment purchasing by tenants
Ira sactions in business buildings
differ from apartment sales in that
while cooperative buying is done 1t
is seldom loo percent so, the usual
deal involves the purchase by
club OF q half dozen or so business
tenants. who apportion the space
among themselves and then lease
the remainder. The management
in both cases IS generally vested In
some well known agent under the
direction OF the tenant-owners.

The Changing Times

The era of Chain Stores about because
group of men with large capital could, by starting
stores in different localities increase the outlet of
merchandise eminating from source.
= The Chain Store system is nothing more than
any other except the buying part is concentrate
ed at one place. The buyers for these stores have
their headquarters at the of production and
they buy direct from the packer or the producer.
1t goes without saying that buyer who can buy
the same sort of merchandise for several hundred
stores can command better price than buyer for
just store.
The secret of advantageous grocery prices in ST.
Johns is this ability to buy in connection with many
other stores. That is whyyou have had established
by this better prices than prevail almost any
where in Portland
Coupled with this buying capacity, the activity
of the owners the acquaintance with the locality be-
cause of our long residence here ought to convince
any one that can do business at less cost than the
average grocery.

was sufficient"
