Opportunities
Great as Ever

Increment and Good Return
Assured If One Buys
Right; Small Investors
Are Not Pre- c u d e d
By Charles F. Noyes

Downtown real estate Is tho best Of
all investments. Here are located the
exchanges and the homes Of the promi-
nent banking institutions, trust com
panies, insurance companies and the
leading corporations OF ths country.
Most OF them own the buildings occu-
pied and dominate the districts and
neighborhoods IN which they are sit
uated. Lower Manhattan Is narrow.
Not an inch can be added in area.
With the continued and steady In
crease In population, the certain and
great increase In the resources Of this
country and with good downtown loca-
tons growing scarcer year BY year, the
price movement OF real estate here at
the lower end OF Manhttsn Island must
always be upward. The fact OF. the In
creased population. increased wealth
and increased prosperity year In and
year ou. is cumulative.
Foreclosures Of downtown real es-
tate are seldom, known; losses In
downtown real. estate never occur
where one has had the proper advice
ir the matter Of selecting that which
ne buys.
The greatest profits have been made
IN downtown real estate, and to-day
the most valuable property In tho
world Is real estate situated In the vi
cinity Of Wall Street and on lower
Broadway.
Chances Not Limited
Opportunities as great as ever aru
offered the real estate buyer to-day.
Il is true that more caution must be
used In purchasing because the price
levels are higher than they were ten
years ago, or Ave years ago, but i also
Is true that property, intrinsieally, Is
worth much more than II was before,
on account OF improvements that have
been effected during this short span Of
time.
II Is an erroneous opinion that down
town property can be had only by the
very wealthy. II Is true that many
sales down town are made az tgures
ranging. from 100000 upward, out Il
also Is true that good. substantial store
and loft buildings, leased 70 one or a
few tenants, can be had with invest
ments OF from $4,000 70 $4,000. and
these buildings earn approximately 10
per cent per annum on such substan-
tial equity, and with little OF no care
as regards management and little or
no chance Of loss Of principal, but with
a certain probability Of greatly In.
creased value due 70 the increment OF
the ground.
Profits Are High
! have never known Of q loss from
any small loft building purchased
down torn where fair judgment was
used in i.s selection. ] should say that
the average profits on thess small, con.
servatiye Investments i-re AZ least 80
per cent FOR a Ave or ten year period,
and IN the interim about 10 per cent
per annum has been received BY the
investor on the funds involved.
1 will always recommend downtown
real estate, because from twenty-five
years' experience ! know It's true
worth. II Is the safe. sound, eonserva'
tive investment for the business man

country are getting in better condition

Legislation is likely 20 be unsatisfac-

arc generally hopeful and energetic
and there is very little unemployment
Wages will probably rise instead Of
fall. The rise in wages will be fol-
lowed by a rise in prices Of eommodi-
ties IN general, so that we may look
forward 10 another year Of imitation
to be followed as usual by attempted
dehation. II either Of these processes

From q rather hasty survey OF the

clusion that tho average tenancy does

the tenancy OF a building completely
cbanges at least once in five years.
This means that the average oifee nrd

CHARLES LANG PASSES AWAY LEAVES FAMILY
 INCLUDING 8 CHILDREN

Charles Lang, a we'll known Pio- neer of Alaska, formerly of Vald- deg, whose family is said to re- side here now, including eight chil- dren, passed away this morning at 4:3O o'clock at the Cordova hospital. He returned here from California, where he had gone in the hope of improving his health, on the last trip up of the steam ship Alameda.
 He was attended by pr. w. w. Council and everything possible was done for him but his strength was too much exhausted to allow another rally.
 Mir. Lang had hosts of friends in Alaska and outside.
 Further details, including an- nouncement of the funeral, will appear in The Times, probably to- morrow.
 The family has the profound sympathy of the entire commun- ity.
