Next Wednesday.

Dissolution OF the real estate
holdings of the Marshall Brown
Syndicate will begin at 2:30 o'clock
wednesday afternoon. The Marshall
Brown Syndicate was formed some
real estate operators from all over
the country who had faith in the
development and expansion Of
Washington and of the possibilities
or profit in real estate investment.
They selected a tract of land con-
sisting of about 100000 square
feet located on the northerly side of
Georgia avenue in the northwesterlS
section of Washington, believing
that 1t had great possibilities for
speedy development and increase in
value. Many thousands of dollars
were spent in grading and preparing
this property for building purposes.
While the affairs OF this syndicate,
because of it's large number of in
terested parties. were temporarily
tied up and sales made practically
impossible, the entire surrounding
community has grown into a thickly
settled home colony. This. of course.

ZINC IN PAINT PIGMENTS
IMPROVES BUILDINGS

Property owners can improve the
appearance OF homes and other bull J.
ings by demanding the use of fro-n
80 to so per cent of zinc oxcide in
the paint pigment. This material
increases the life of both exterior
and interior coatings, 'nsures last
ing luster and prevents fading.
Paint which includes the proper
proportion OF zinc in the pigment
mixture better finds it's way into the
pores of the surface, and thus ar
fords excellent protection against de-
terioration.
