Property Intense !,
In Capital

An intense demand for sub
urban property has forced itself
to the fore, not only in Wash
ington, but in practically, every
city in the country, and the
question naturally arises as to
which suburb. is the most de-
sirable, according to Shannon
& Luchs. :
It has been said that cities
grow toward the northwest ::
that is, both business and resi-
Dental localities grow more
rapidly in that direction than
in any other.
Chevy Chase, has long been
known to the residents of
Washington, as well 90 to the
many thousands Of visitors Ar
irving, here daily, as resi-
dental district Of undisputed
repute, with q large number Of
schools, churches, stores, and
various afnusements. Its repu-
tation, its beauty, its location,
It's nearness to business Wash
ington, the class Of. people and
the character of it's homes, are
just q few Of the many reasons
for. its increased popularity.
