Because OF the great diversity in the
character and value OF the many prop
erties to DE offered by public auction by
the estate OF the late Mrs Margaret Olivia
Slocum Sage. widow OF Russell Sage. It is
the expectation that the salesroom on that
day will be crowded to capacity with a
representative body Of investors, specu-
lators, homie seekers, lot buyers and
builders. TIE sale will be held by Joseph

is interesting to know that the executors

very large amount of public interest be-
cause Of the division OF the residue OF the
estate among thirty-six prominent colleges
and charitable institutions, there remains
the interest OF real estate investors In the
almost unprecedentcd Offering of three
valuable Fifth avenue properties
ally interesting at this time because OF the
restriction announcements made recently
by the Save New York Committee. which
closed the campaign conducted for the sole
purpose of protecting real estate values in
the midtown business, hotel and amuse-
ment sections Of Manhattan. The final
recommendations of the committee when
carried out will do great deal to restore
values in the lower sections of Fifth av-
enue, where. at the northeast corner Of
Fifteenth street, is located the eleven story
modern loft buildings to be auctioned by
the Sage estate.
The two other Fifth avenue properties
consist OF the one-time Sage dwelling, 30x
100, ut No. COZ Fifth avenue, between Forty
eighth and Forty-ninth streets. and OF the
Columbia College leasehold, n five story
building. with elevator, S.sx131, at No. 6S2
Fifth avenue, between Fifteth and Fifty
first streets. opposite the Cathedral. The
Sage residence is one OF the few private
dwellings in this part of the Fifth avenue
remaining unaltered and now available for
business purposes. The leasehold property
is at the south edge Of the new art centre
and is advantageously located.
The New York herald., 1920-01-11

While the interest Of the more prominent
investors probably will centre in these
three properties, other offerings that
should arouse a large amount of competi-
tive bidding consist of the block front In
Riverside drive, from l0gth to 10th street
also the plot t00.5x110 at the northeast
corner of Madison avenue and Sixty-fourth
street, several corner and inside properties
IN upper Park and Lexington avenues, the
two elevator apartment houses at Centr Al
Park West and 1921 street, and the garage
at No. III West Fifty-fourth street.
For the operator in city and suburban
dwellings, and for the home seeker, the
sale holds an equal amount OF interest.
This is due to the offering of six five
story dwellings in West ll7th street, be-
tween Lenox and Seventh avenues, and
to the sale OF sixty-seven houses, averag-
ing six rooms each and leased to monthly
tenants, with possession If desired, at
Cedarhurst, l.. l. In addition. there will
be sold several fine building sites in and
adjacent to Central avenue, which is the
best residential section of Far Rockaway.
Other interesting offerings are several
side street apartment houses and tene-
ments in Manhattan, and large plot in
Long Island City, at the corner of Pros
pect street and Hunter avenue. with two
story frame buildings. comprising six
dwellings and one two family house with
a store.
In speaking yesterday of the forthcom-
ing SALE Mr. Day aid:-"The late Russell
Sage possessed an excellent knowledge Of
real estate value and the trend of popula-
ton. During his lifetime he loaned large
amounts on real estate. He would never
entertain "A loan on other than highly
standardized building. He liked square
rooms and had no use for a house that
contained rooms Of irregular shape. IN
the making of loans on vacant. or partial
~ improved property. Mr.. Sage took good
care TO lend only on centrally located
parcels in active sections
'At the sale to be held Oh January ~,
the buying public will have not only the
opportunity to buy the Sage real estate
for whatever it may bring, but also the
good fortune to bid on property passed
upon by the astute minded and fore
sighted financier by whom it was selected.
The love the late Mrs. Sage bore To hui
nanity at large was fully expressed in
her will, under the terms of which the
residue of her estate is to be divided
among thirty-six prominent institutions.
