Pease 4 Gilman Get Agency

One of the outstanding occurrences
OF the real estate world last week was
the announcement that Pease & ELI
man, who have been styled ''the Tiffanys
OF real estate" have been appointed
sales agents of the Garden Cooperative
Apartments at Jackson Heights, in the
Borough OF Queens. This firm will here
after apply their prestige to the ex-
pansion Of the Jackson Heights tenant
ownership plan for the Greensboro Cor
poration.
The firm is enthusiastic over the out
come OF the step. Under the new ar
rangement every seeker Of high class
apartment who calls upon Pease & Eli
man for advice as to location of his
or her home will have the Jackson
Heights proposition brought to his or
her attention. Speaking OF the new
sales arrangement Lawrence B. Gilman
Of Peace g. Gilman says:
"Pcase q Gilman have always been
jealously vigilant 10 preserve the high

reason they did not attach themselves

II know a good deal about New York

say this, however, that there Is no place
In Manhattan--no sir, no place anywhere
In Manhattan or The Bronx--whcrc we
have anything better to offer to those
who seek apartment homes than In TO
be found Mt jackson Heights. There
may be in fact a surplusage OF choice at
Jackson Heights. because In Manhattan
