HOWENSTE|N IS
AGENT IN BIC
SALE
Southeast Pennsylvania Ave-
nue. DupIexes Purchased BY
Barrett, Of Virginia.

One Of the most interesting realty
purchases of the week was con
summated through the offices Of
the H r. Howenstein Company,
when James Barrett, of Harpers
Ferry. w Va. bought the entire row
of duplex houses, 1347 to 1853 Penn
sylvania avenue southeast, erected
by the Howenstein company, for a
consideration not disclosed.
The duplex homes under discus
sion are of a style SIMILAR to sew
eral other operations of a like ma
tura erected in various sections OF
Washington by the Howenstein
firm. Heretofore they have been
sold, in most cases, singly to tndi-
vidual purchasers, the idea being
that the buyer live in one Of the
two complete apartments the houses
contain, and rent out the other for
sum sufficient to practically carry
the entire investment.
The Pennsylvania avenue dwell
ings contained eight rooms and two
baths each, with large lots to al
lev: wide concrete streets, large
porches front and rear, spacious
rear lawns and many other at
tractive features. Sufficient space
for garage marks each house. The
separate buildings are divided into
two apartments each, one on each
floor, with practically the same ar
rangement of rooms IN each suite.
1t was announced that Mr. Bar
rett had bought the properties not
for purposes Of resale. but with the
idea of retaining them for an In
vestnlent
At the offices Of the Howenstein
firm ii was said that the st.vreral

hoods were moving nicely. The idea
of duplex construction is catching
.he fancy Of District home buyers
more and more with each new row
Of these dwellings erected.

Compares 100000 Volume
of Business in 1913 to
100000 Today.

Washington was last week visited
by George w. Massnick, general
sales manager for the Lewis Manu-
featuring Company, of Bay City,
Mich, manufacturers Of Lewis built
ready-cut homes, successfully mer'
chandized and erected in the District
by Guy s. Zepp, local representative
Of the concern.
Mr.. Messnick. who, in addition to
being general sales manager of the
parent firm at Bay City, is like
wise vice president of the Bay City
Lewis Homes Company, Incorporat'
ed, of New York City, expressed
himself in an interview as being
tremendously pleased with the sue
cess of Mr.. Zepp in establishing the
Lewis built home idea SO well in
this section. He also made it known
that Mr.. Zepp's method of contin-
ually keeping the general realty
public informed as to the progress
of the Lewis-built houses in course
of construction in this city was
heartily Endorsed and approved by
the home office.
Lauds Local Agent.
The Lewis Manufacturing Com
pany is the modern outgrowth OF
what was in 1888 a business de-
voted exclusively to the wholesale
and retail lumber and mill work
trade n 1915 a new, policy was
decided upon-that of entering the
ready-cut home field with a ma
tional territory to cover.
Commenting upon the vigorous
method in which this new policy
was worked upon, Mr.. Massnlck
states that at the end of the first
year in the ready.eut house bust
ness the Lewis Manufacturing Com
pany had done a business aggre-
eating $500, 900. Considering prices
and markets at that time, this in
itself was a most remarkable show
ing, although hardly to be COM
pared with the million dollar turn
over which the company enjoyed
during the year just passed.
Adopts New Plan.
A few years after the initial en-
trance Of the Lewis concern into
the ready-cut homes field slight
depression from the usual methods
in such businesses was decided
upon. 1t has been followed with
uniform success ever since that
time. Each house is treated as a
tailor would treat a suit of made
to-order clothing. Each purchaser
thus receives the benefit of indi-
vidual workmanship and individual
inspection, with corresponding in
crease in satisfaction. The addi-
tional protection afforded the pur-
chaser by this individual method
Of dealing cannot be too strongly
emphasized, according to Mr.. Mass
nick.
One of the other peculiarities
noted in the Lewis catalogue is
the absence of list prices on the
houses illustrated therein. The rea-
son for this is that no house is
stereotyped in the complete sense Of
the word. The purchaser, after
having chosen his plans, may also
specify his choice of several diff
ferent styles OF doors. fixtures.
mouldings, etc.: thus 1t is not until
his complete choice is made that
an estimate can be submitted. In
cidentally, the completed house rep
resents exactly the desires of the
purchaser in every smallest detail.

Ten Games on Bohnsack

Emil Bohnsack's Smith street al
Ieys will be the scene tonight of a
ten game bowling match between
Howard Richards and Bill Jenkins,
two of the leading bowlers of this
city. This is the first half of an
elimination match decided on by the
two bowlers.
The last ten games of the match
will be rolled on the Argonne
Hobart street, Friday night. After
his match the winner may roll Gus
Pappas for the individual bowling
championship of the city, or Bill
Pemberton, Charley Einhorn, Clar-
ence Hoffman or number of other
leading local bowlers may ask to be
listed in this tournament before the
final match with Pappas is arranged.
Last season Jenkins beat Richards
n championship elimination match
and Pappas took jenkins into camp
thereby coping the honors. There
are a great many other good bow
lers in this city. particularly mem
bers of the Ell1s and Y.M.C.A. teams.

ing of this championship.
In the match staged last year Jen-
kins gained his advantage over

CARCANO VS..
APPLEbAUN
In Four Round Bout on P. B.
A. Card for March 23
Show

Lester Applebaum, popular Rah-
way battler, has been matched by
Matchmaker Bill Seiboth of the To-
cal Patrolmen's Benevolent Associa-
ton boxing show committees, to
fight frankie Gargano of Staten
Island in one Of the foud-round con-
tests on the program to be exhibited
in the local auditorium on Friday
night, March 20.
The Union county lad has appear
ed at number of the shows staged
in this city and Carteret during the
past several months, and has been
successful in majority of his bouts.
His handlers claim that he is the
featherweight champion of Railway
and real contender for similar hon
ors in Union county.
A bout between Gargano and Ap-
plebauIn, fills out the police card
nicely. Carl Norris of Carteret was
originally scheduled to fight Gar
gano, but on account of the Carroll
card. it was decided that there would
be little borough interest in the ap-
pearance of another of their battlers
on this card.
Applebaum is carded to fight
Young Beaver of Elizabeth in one
Of the four round bouts on the pro-
gram for the Center Athletic Club in
the local auditorium tomorrow night.
Beaver is also after the Union coun-
ty featherweight title.

mont League

John Zanzalari of State street has
been notified to report to the Dan
Vile -Schoolfield nine of the Pied
mont League on March 20, accord
tng to contract here during the
latter part of last week.
zanzalari is believed to be one OF
the youngest local baseball players
ever to leave this city for a league
tryout, and inasmuch as he showed
real class even with the Perth Am
boys last season, he stands a real
chance of making good. He is de-
sirous of landing an cutfield berth.
The State street lad has been
playing ball with various teams in
this city for q good many years,
starting with midget organizations.
He attracted attention with the
Grammar and High school quintets,
and later with she AIaurer and Ly-
ceum mines.
During the latter part of last sea-
SON he was given q tryout with the
Perth Amboy Athletic Association
nine, and even though he worked
against the Recreations OF Plain
neld on the litter's field, his eX-
hibitions made him worthy OF q
steady berth.
A number of other local men are
expected to play with Danville dur
ing the coming season. Two sea-
sons ago Schoolfield was entered in
what is known as the Bi-State

II. S. CORRESPONDENT

The local high school basketball
varsity was prevented from ringing
up their fourteenth straight win on
Saturday afternoon due to the fact
that the game scheduled with the
Trenton School for the Deaf at Tren-
ton was not played.
The Amboy squad made the trip to
the capital city but upon arrivai
there, were informed that the game
would have to be played at the Deaf
school as the High School court was
not available. 1t was agreed by the
two managements through the
means Of correspondence that the
clash would take place at the high
school court. An inspection of the
Deaf schools home court was made
by the visitors and it was found to
be way below regulation size besides
being constructed Of concrete. Chairs
were on all sides of the place and
the players would have been taking
their lives into their own hands had
they decided to play. So low were
the baskets that any of the players
could cage the ball with comparative
ease,
The coach and the team came to
the conclusion that as they wanted
to return home in "one piece" as
the saying goes, the wisest thing to
do would be not to play. There is
slight possibility that the two
teams will come together at a later
date. If the home court of the deaf
