Rapid Growth
HUNGER FOR HOMES

Evidence Awakening of
Tulsa's Spirit

More Tulsa people arc going 90
become home owners this year than
4r any previous year of tho city's
history. Judging from record break
ing sales this year, J G. RCddin, real
estate man with offices IN the Cos
dom building and secretary of the
rc,I Estate Exchange, said last wccly
In declaring his belief that the clty's
outlook for this year promises ono
of the greatest. " not tho greatest,
rcriod In her brltf history. In spite
or tho fact that tho postwar roac-
'|ouarv period has automatically
slowed tho wheels Of industry, Tulsa
has not only sustained her wcll
earned reputation but ~ looking to-
wards tho most progressive period OF
her history, MIR. Rcddin believes.
Discussing this subject Mr. Red
an said:
TO substantiato our statement, let
~ first take look over tho center
~ tho business district. Here we
find under course of constructior
Tho large office building of the Hunt
coupary on South Main street. the
homo OF the National Bank OF Conn
r.ercc on Third street. the Castle
building on West Third and the ro-
cent completion OF tho new and
commodious Mayo office building on
South Boulder, which will now ac-
Comodatc many OF the new firms
whose location I'm Tulsa has becn
postponed for lack of adequate Of
Noc room.
"Thc announcement contained in
last SUNDAYS World of the erection
nf 12-story building at tho corner
~ Fifth and Boston by tho Nindcvcr
brothers at a cost of 100000 is
welcomed by real Tulsans, as tho
erection of such an up-to-date de-
r7rtYucnt store as outlined by Mr.
Nandovcr will put Tulsa I'm the class
az cities which have a much larger
population. This progressive move
ment on the part Of the Nandcvcr
brothers is hut another manifesto
ton OF the bright outlook mon Of
means and prominence have for
Tulsa DEVELOPMENT Another move
Of the kind Is that of Swift & Co.

Building Waking Up.
"The recent announcement made
hv Mr. Sinclair Of an early erection
~ modern theator on South Main
street is also an evidence OF faith
in tho greater Tulsa by ono whose
finger tips are ever on the pulse
OF our wonder city.
"Tho ever Increasing demand for
business property comnels It's OK
tension IN every direction, and only
very recently this firm transferred
Tho corner at Ninth and Boston for
business purposes at a consideration
of 5000. We have authentic re-
ports of tho location for n whole
sale drug company, employing from
5oo 70 1000 mon, probably i'm Tulsa
81 an early date, occupying one of
tho busy corners.
I'm the residential section we find
irrumerable houses under course of
construction and vacant lots are he
coming 80 scarce that % campaign
on opening new additions is now
necessity 20 acConpnodatc all who
are seeking homes. especially whore
loss expensive lot must he a com
sdcratiou 10 home ownership. We
might say in this connection with
some degree Of pride that Tulsa pub
llo service corporations have kent
abreast of her progresslveness and
have supplied the newer additions
with their respective commodities,
such as light, gas, water and tcle-
phone service. This We might say
has been a vital factor in tho rapid
development of various additions
and also encourages home ownership
by many who would still pay rent
rather than he deprived Of these
comforts and convcniences.
Transportation Problems.
