MANY SEE VALUE OF
FAIRLAWN REALTY

One does not have to be an ex-
pert on realty values to appreciate
the substantial qualities of Fair
lawn, the Anacostia subdivision by

says H. b. Terrett, agent for the
firm. According to Mr.. Terrett, ii
has not taken long for home-buyers
to begin to see the desirability OF
Fairlawn not only from the home
site standpoint but from the angle
Of a sound investment proposition
az well.
The reclamation of the Anacostia
fats by Government engineers, to
be followed by the making II a
parkway where those unsightly
grounds once laid, is one of the
prime factors in Fairlawn's posi-
bility as an investment of excellent
nature. Fairlawn Immediately ad-
joins this new parkway project
All modern improvements will be
found in the subdivision, says Mr..
Terrett-including graded streets,

taking the Anacostia car across
the Anacostia bridge, alighting at
