ASHTON HEIGHTS
DEVELOPS
RAPIDLY
Suburb Shows Remarkable
Growth in Two Years Under
Nay-Alger Management.

What is said to be an astonishing
achievement in suburban realty de-
velopment is that Of Ashton Heights,
Va. under the exclusive sales man
agement Of the Kay-Alger Company,
Incorporated.
Two years ago wooded highlands
in Arlington county, Virginia, lying
west Of the Washington and Virginia
Railway line, and just south Of Clar-
endon, Va, were hunting grounds
and the summer home Of countless
song birds.
The property, consisting Of several
parcels Of land, Is q part Of the
original Fairfax estate, and was
owned by the Hunter family for more
than a hundred years. The cham
Of title goes back to 1724.
For more than half century these
woodlands have been abandoned to
nature; the beautiful trees and song
birds are still there, but the zigzay
bride paths have been replaced with
well-developed streets and winding
driveways. Concrete sidewalks have
been built, sewers constructed and
part Of the line laid in solid concrete.
Telephone and electric service have
been provided, gas mains laid, and
the streets are illuminated at night
by electric light.
Several years ago this property
was purchased by Ashton c. Jones
for whom Ashton Heights is named.
More acreage has been added from
time to time by Mr.. Jones since
the sale OF the property began two
years ago, and tract has also been
added by the Kay-Alger Company,
inc. Florence Means Kay, pres:
ident and manager Of Kay-Alger
Company, Inc, is owner Of this
land.
Large columns mark the entrance
to the Kay-Alger Company's ad-
dition and Fairfax Place in this
section is distinguished by gates
topped with urns of growing plants.
Many little homes dot the land
scape as well as q number of larger
and more pretentious ones repre-
senting large investments.
The Build your Love Nest" copy.
righted slogan of the Kay-Alger
Company seems to have attracted
many brides and grooms to this
section-in fact the majority of
the property owners are enthusiastic
young people full Of energy and
optimism and fine community spirit.
A live citizens association is well
organized with Robert Featenhy as
president.
Sales continue briskly at Ash.

remain to be sold.
