Washington, Of Today
Now Metropolitan
CITY, Says Luchs

washington Is no longer the viii
,lage that 1t was several years ago,
but greater city of .home-owners.
a metropolitan center for social ac-
tivities, Mecca for nationally
known business firms, and a meet
Ing place for hundreds Of convsn-
TONS
In these words Merton j. ,Luchs,
Of the real estate firm of Shan
non & Luchs, in an interview Yes
terday sounded the keynoteSsof the
washington of today"
washington residents are ex-
ceedingly slow to realize that they
are now living in large, active,
wide-awake city, well out of the
village Glass; Mr.. Luchs said.
"Out-of-town business and profess
sional men who have come here
in the last two years have re-
marked what a. great, change has
come over the city. These men
declared that Washington has the
aspect Of thriving business cen.
ter, that its business developments
have reached the most prosperous
condition in the history of the
city" he said.
Visitors to our city hold a still
brighter future for both business
and residential property here. Many
Of our active merchants are wax.

ling up to the fact that we now
live in a greater city, but it is only
natural that they are slower to
realize this than those from other
cities. Before the war, our bust.
ness area was practically confined
to a small district, but To-Day we
find that business has expanded
over q large section of the city
Many out-of.town investors have
realized the possibilities of Wash
ington by investing large sums
of moneyst,in various enterprises
here.
Our firm has several clients
from other cities who have in
vested more than $1,000,000 in

investors are now considering the
possibilities here. One Of the firms

Mr.. Luch said.
Erection of the large theater
and office building has just been
inaugurated at the northeast COR
ner Thirteenth and e streets
northwest by the Cosmopolitan The

dication that Washington can and
will support another theater and
office building. The construction OF
an office building at the corner OF
Fifteenth and K streets, planned to
be the largest exclusive office build

dication Of the progress Of Wash

"At the present time Washington
can boast of having more large
buildings, hotels, apartment houses

Delay Means Additional Time
and Worry, zepp
Declares.

Delay is the worst enemy of the
home builder, according to Guy 8.
Zepp, local manager Of the Lewis
Manufacturing Company, makers Of
ready-cut houses.
1.-THE most important difficulty OF
the average home builder is attrib-
uted to the wrong start in making his
plans," Mr.. Zepp declared yesterday.
"F4e does not realize the length of
time required to complete the many
arrangements preliminary to build
ing a house. Fear Of winter often
impedes his planning, with the re-
suit that the preliminary work on
his house is delayed.
''By the time the home builder has
obtained figures on his house, Sc
cured financial arrangements and is
given certificate Of title after a
long delay, he is then caught in the
spring JAM He will be handicapped
by a shortage Of labor and material.
and face an increase in construction
