One Thousand
Dollars for
Your Opinion

two million dollars to build homes
to relieve the housing situation.
THE FIRST THIRTY of these
houses are now ready for occupancy
in Norwood Gardens, home col
ony designed particularly for ar
tistic people.
THESE HOUSES REPRESENT
the experience gained by twenty
years of home building
THEY WERE DESIGNED bv Wal
ter hopkins of Warren & Wetmore.
THEY WERE BUILT by our own
organization, under our own super-
vision.
WE BELIEVE they are the most
artistic, the best planned and the
best built, moderate priced houses
in New York City.
WE KNOW that, by having uracti-
cally unlimited money at our COM
mand, enabling US to buy materials
IN enormous quantities for cash. we
have squeezed out every dollar of
prohteering and taken advantage
of every drop in cost.
WE KNOW that we could not sell
these houses at the price except
through the advantages Of guam
tity buying for cash and standardi-
zation of construction.
WE HAVE BUILT in the last year
more than hundred houses, and
have sold them nearly as rapidly as
completed; and We know that we
can sell these houses to the genera!
public
BUT
WE WANT TO PICK OUR
BUYERS.
WE WANT to sell these houses to
the right kind Of people.
WE WANT to establish a commu-
nifty that will give an added value
to each of these houses, and an
added value to each of the houses
built hereafter.
THEREFORE
WE ARE NOT going to sell these
houses to anyone, simply because
they have the money.
We ARE NOT going to sell these
houses unless the buyer measures
up to the standard we have set for
the colony.
WE BELIEVE that these houses
will appeal particularly to profess
sional people.
WE BELIEVE that the beautiful
,atcens and artistic exteriors will
be particularly appreciated by
architects, lawyers, doctors, teach
ers, writer's, and the best element
IN the theatrical profession.
ID
with two private baths, the living
room 10 X 20 feet and the two-car
garage will give them home such
as they have dreamed of.
CONSEQUENTLY.
WE HAVE DECIDED to pay One
Thousand Dollars to the profess
sional people of New York City,
simply to come and see these
houses. thereby enabling us to pick
our buyers.
YOU NEED NOT BUY.
YOU NEED HAVE NO INTEN-
TON of buying.
SIMPLY COME and sec the houses
and send us your opinion of them.
FOR THE BEST DESCRIPTION
Of the houses and grounds sub
mitted before May thirtieth, We
will pay Three Hundred Dollars,
for the second best Two Hundred
Dollars, and for the third best One
Hundred Dollars.
FOR THE NEXT TWENTY best
descriptions submitted we will pay
Twenty Dollars each, making total
of One Thousand Dollars, which
Will be paid in cash on the decision
of Chester Parish, Real Estate Edi-
tor of The New York Tribune.
WE KNOW that if you do not buy,
you will tell some Of your friends
who may buy.
AT ANY RATE, we want you to
come and see the houses and tell US
what you think of them.
