R|VERDALE HEIGHTS
ATTRACTING BUYERS
New Holloway Subdivision
Makes Appeal to Investors
With Limited Capital.

Considerable success is being met
by the ]. w. Holloway Company in
its development OF Riverdsie Heights
one OF the newer subdivisions opened
up in the vicinity OF Washington.
RiyerdaIe Heights is located just
outside the District line in Prince
Georges county Maryland, abutting
and adjoining the old village OF
Rivers Dale, which grew up around
the old Colonial mansion OF Lord
Baltimore. This mansion is still
standing and Is occupied by United
States Senator Hiram Johnson as his
Washington home.
There is a trolley line running
along half a mile OF the front of the
property and a splendid county road
leads to the city for automobile own
ers. The Capitol and the Washing
ton Monument are plainly visible
from the property.
Two years ago the j. w. Holloway
Company opened up Colmar Manor.
Home seekers were quick to see the
opportunity offered. and as con-
sequence all lots in Colmar Manor
were rapidly disposed OF by the Hoi-
loway Company. Today there are
sixty houses at Colmar Manor. where
there were none when the lots were
first offered for sale.
Inspired by this admirable record
the Holloway Company believe they
can duplicate the success OF Colmar
Manor in the proposition they offer
at Riverdale Heights. Persons OF
small means will be able to tax e
advantage OF the lots offered at
Riverdale Heights. as they will be
sold as low as $50. and on reason
able terms.
The ]. w. Holloway Company en-
Joy an enviable reputation in the
business world. having offices in New
York, Trenton. Philadelphia, VIII

well as in this city. They intend to
