Jews and Comment OF City and Suburban Real Estate Marke


Pioneer gold finders were seldom
more richly rewarded in proportion to
outlay than purchasers of land at
Forest Hills West will be-" said Joseph
P. Day yesterday, referring to the sale
OF this property at auction next Satur-
day. There are $500 lots in the tract
that is scheduled for sale.
Il base my argument by pointing to
the marvellous advance in real estate
values at Forest Hills, Kew Gardens
and the Sage Foundation communities,
all of which are in the same three
mile district that embraces and ad-
joins Forest Hills West. Within eight
years Forest Hills property has in
creased in value 400 per cent. Within
seven years Forest Hills Gardens prop
erty has advanced 300 per cent. Within
ten years Kew Gardens property has
advanced 450 per cent.
mot one of these properties started
expansion with the advantage of a rail-
road station. Forest Hills West starts
with complete station only three
quarters of a mile down the track from
the beautiful Forest Hills structure.
Not only that, a regular train service
has been installed before single lot
has been sold. Never has a railroad
company evidenced its confidence in
the expansion of place more forcibly.
Many other reasons may be ad
vanced to prove the property will yield
golden profits to pioneer purchasers.
1t is nearly mile nearer Pennsylvania
Station, Manhattan, than we'll known
| adjoining communities, the running
time into New York being but ten
minutes. Ten minutes on the subway
north from Pennsylvania Station will
barely get you to 10th Street. Forest
Hills West is on much higher ground
than its neighbors. From Forest Hills
station Forest Hills West shows a
much higher horizon line. From the
track level at Yellowstone Boulevard
the superior height of Forest Hills
West is again seen.
Because of the large number the
purchase price will undoubtedly come
within the means of the moderate
pursed buyer. 1t is intended to be a
sale that carries extensive sections of

Bowery Corner
Held by Bank ON
Grant From Dutch
Citizens Savings Traces
Ownership of Canal St.
Parcel Back to New Am
sterdam Days; Will Be
Improved With Building

The southwest corner of Bowerv ano
Canal Street, where the Citizens Saw.
lnss Bank will soon erect a 100000
building, is held by the bank on a grant
from the Dutch government, which is
one of the great sentimental treasures
Of the institution, as it indicates it's
age.
The erection of the building will mark
what is thought by East Side property
experts as the turning point in the his
tory Of the Bowery. The future of the
Bowery must be of a most promising
nature to have induced the officials Of
the bank to go ahead with an improve
nent that would be fitting the finest
business location in the city. Clarence
W. brazer, architect, said Yesterday in
describing the building:
THE building will have a 75-foot
frontage on the Bowery and IS feet on
Canal Street. 1t is designed in the
sturdy Florentine renaissance STYLE so
appropriate to strong financial insti-
unions and will be constructed Of light
Barre granite, the most monumental
and durable Of building stones.
The interior is lighted by four
large arched windows on each of the
four sides, set high above strong
base, so as to make the bank practi.
cally. riot-proof. The building is ap-
proximately 10 feet high, being set
w. so as to show above the elevated
railroad. A low dome crowns the edi
flee imparting feeling Of solidity
and strength as we'll as giving an air
Of unusual distinction.
The interior of the banking room
Will be 70 feet high and will be de-
signed much after the old Roman STYLE
using Roman Travertine stone for the
walls. The principal feature of the in
terror is the vault which is placed
prominently in the center, showing it's
great strength" Henry sayler, presi-
dent of the bank, recently completed
fifty years of services in this one
institution. Edwin A. Lahm is secre.
tary and James Rowland is vice-presi.
dent and chairman of the building com
mittee.
The William L. Grow Construction
Company has been awarded the general
building contract.

The erection Of the Manhattan

the financing of loan of $1,150,0Oo

Spanish, the facade being of pressed
brick with cut stone trim. Although
the land has south frontage Of 125

Women's Trade Locations
Worth More Than Mems

There are two kinds of business To-
cations-men's and women's locations
and women's locations are much higher
priced, as rule, than mems, the diff
ference being as much as rs per ceent.
Women are more creatures Of habit
than men, and usually go in crowds
Where one side Of the street develops
in women, the other side generally be-
comes mems shopping quarter.
Nassau Street, for instance, is a
womens street between Beekman and
Maiden Lane. The west side of Fifth
Avenue is for women. while the east
side of the avenue between Forty.sec-
ond Street and Fifty-ninth Street,
Madison Avenue, north of Forty-sec-
ond Street, and the north side of Forty
second Street, from Madison Avenue
to Vanderbilt Avenue, are decidedly
mems business locations.

earthly beauty of Poe. There are in
dications that the Brothers Grimm
also influenced the drift of Poe's
imagination. And story such as
Company on New Years Night"
though far more turbulent than Poe
in style, might have been written
in part by him.
But Poe's perfection of form, his
unerring sixth sense for the exquisite
and the inevitable and the arrest
ingly strange, was far superior to
that of his German contemporaries
and partial prototypes. The editor
of this new German edition acknowl-
edges as much. He first reprimands
the German critics who, influenced
by Griswold's poisonous biography,
repeated and retailed the tatue OF
Poe's 'immorality'': If the German
reader is to be preserved from
further error, and from regarding
the works of the immortal one in
false light, it is high time that the
judgments which we have accepted
from America years ago and which
we have been repeating in such an
uncritical fashion ever since. should
be extirpated once and for all time
from German critical literature-in
particular the judgment that Poe
was a poet OF gloomy and unbridled
phantasy who had sunk TO depths
of degradation through his excesses.'
His writings betray nothing OF ex-
cess-one might. in fact, declare the
contrary-and his uncommonly pow
erful. though profoundly melancholy
phantasy is anything but unbridled-
he had firmer and surer grip upon
the bride Of his Pegasus than any
romantic or the Old World. He never
lost himself in the clouds nor in
the capriciousness of fables. He
played at chess with the themes he
had chosen, and every move he made
was made coolly and clearly, bring
ing him with a mathema teal pre-
cision to his goal, mastery vic
tory, keenly and beautifully won"
