Frequently one house of pleasing lines and architectural beauty will contribute to the dignity and beauty of whole neighboNhood In the same manner one ill-designed, out-of-date house will spoil the effect of whole block of good-look- ing modern houses. It is a compara- lively simple and inexpensive operation to dEess up the "old timer"
 One thousand dollars spent for proper altera tions along modern lines will not only improve the comfort and beauty but may double the actual value of the property if located in a prosperous residential section.
 In almost every community in the United States there are to be found a large number of Old-fashioned houses of doubtful architectural beauty and lack ing the comforts and conveniences of the modern home.

FWyHE lease, especially the
 long-term lease, ranging
 from 20 to 90 years, ai- though q comparatively new departure in real estate has as- suined such proportions that subsequent articles will deal with that phase of real estate.
 Few people, comparatively, understand how the value of a 99-year lease is reached or how buildings are erected on leased ground - quite the fashion now - or how the value of leaseholds is estah- lished.
 The advantages of the lease will be gone into also--how 1t benefits both the owner and the lessee.
 Another big development in the south in the past few years is the chain store lease, Many concerns operating 3 chain of stores all over the country have Of late extenueu their operations to include towns as we'll as cities, Own ,ers of property will be inter ested to know how the lessee arrives at the rental value of q central location.
 Asleng-term lease is virtual ownership. It's advantages, if any, over outright purchase will be shown.
 Still another form of conn mercial lease has developed in the past five years. That IS the community center lease,
 Just how values are arrived at here will be set forth.
 The effect of taxes on leases will also be gone into, show ing certain advantages that the lease has over the outright purchase or sale.
