TENANTS BUYING APARTMENTS IN
 NEW YORK CITY
Cooperative Plan of Owner ship Is Working Out
 Well.

New York, June IS. - An town your own apartment movement is in
 full swing here. Two late evidences
 Of it's growing strength are the pur-
 chase by the tenants for $2,5o0,0Oo
 of an apartment house OH Fifth ave-
 nue, which is to cost $4,o0o,o0o.
 Just the other day it was an-
 nounced that Woodrow Court, an
 apartment house occupying the entire
 block front on upper Broadway, be-
 tween 169 and 170th streets had been
 sold for s60o,o00 to The 53 families
 residing in the structure. This is said
 to be the first deal of such magni-
 tude to be 100 per cent. cooperative and in which tenants of moderate
 means have participated In this deal each tenant only put up a few thous- ards dollars in cash. In the Fifth avenue transaction each tenant was called upon for $150, 900 in cash.
 Starting 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 to tenants. This is generally a. profit able tranSact1on TOT the owner TOT tenants are willing to pay more to retain their homes than spectators or investors would pay and it is said to be profitable for the tenants l in that they assure themselves of homes at a cost of only about seven years average rentals
 Tenants are approached both indi- vidualfy and through mass meetings 1 when agents have apartment houses 1 to offer. The tenants are given a | certain length of time to decide and l if they wish to take the property
 the agents form a company to own

the building to which only tenants may subscribe to stock. The pur- chaser of the stock gets a ss-year lease.
 The shortage of office and com merciaT space has been only second to that for housing purposes in New York and cooperative purchasing of office and loft buildings by tenants has begun, although it has not as yet reached the proportions of apartment purchasing by tenants. Transactions in business buildings differ from apartment sales in that while co-op- erative buying is done it is seldom 100 per cent so the usual deal in- wolves the purchase by a club of a half dozen or so business tenants,

A. B. COOK TELLS
STORY OF TRIP
Portage Citizen Re,
turns From Extended
Jaunt East

A. b. Cook and his daughter.
Elizabeth Of Portage, who have
been touring the eastern states for
the past seven weeks, have jusg
arrived home after very pleas
ant and successful trip. Mr.. Cook
says lie was happy to find that the
weather conditions were such as to
verify the many statements made
to eastern friends, that Puget
Sound is land of sunshine and
rain, laying great emphasis on sun
shine. This because of the glorious
days of October III all the eastern
states and to show that Puget
Sound country was the finest coun-
try out Of doors. True, the east
has something ON us, among which
is the privilege that they have Of
travelling under ground on ear
lines two, three and four trains
deep, as in New York, which is
receiving additions to their popu-
lation at the rate of several huRl-
red a day, ninty per cent Of which
at present are from Sunny Italy,
He says that while we cannor
boast of holding the cradle Of free
dom, and point with pride to The
burial place of the father Of our
country as they do in Philadelphia
and Washington, yet we have
among us the best of those who
are the offspring of their father
and cradle. And while We cannot
with pride, point to the beautiful
buildings that are located i'll the
District of Columbia, yet we have
plenty of good out Of doors and
folks to build homes in which to
rear citizens to properly judge
should be sent to these buildings
as our leaders. So taking it all
together, Mr.. Cook tlenks this
country has many things to our
advantage.
Business men of the east are as
a rule very optimistic Of the bust
ness future of this country and are
confident that 1921 will be a coed
year for all if we all do our duty.
Speaking of California Mr.. Cook
says that Los Angeles is a fine
place to live, if you want to live
among SICK folks, criples and
movie actors surrounded by ar5i-
fetal beauty which is beyond des-
cription. But he prefers to live
where folks are healthy and have
all the beauties of Gods out Of
doors to look at.
So taking it altogether he thinks
that we are located in the best
place on earth.

grower Of near Center, brought us
a sample of his field. We confess
to have seen number of big Spuds
in our brief sojourn in American

more the size of yellow hubbard

about its weight, and we have it
