ASHTONHE|GHTS
IS GROWING
FAST
Subdivision, Three Years Ago
a Wilderness, Now Beau
tifuI Little City

The progress that has been made
In the development Of Ashton
Heights by the George H. Rucker
Co. is worth noticing.
Three years ago this tract of
land was entirely covered with
woods, since that time 1t has grown
to be one Of Washington's most
beautiful subdivisions. The George
H. Rucker Co., promoters and de.
velopers Of the property, have
graded the streets. placed paved
walks through the entire sub-di.
vision. and beautified it in every
respect.
The property, located in Airing.
ton County, just twenty minutes
from the heart Of the District,
affords to the man who buys there,
the freedom and health Of the
suburban atmosphere. in addition
to all Of the convenIences and
comforts enjoyed by the city
jewellers.
Three years ago according to
Mr.. r. ID. Gof1, or the George H
Rucker Co., there were 400 lots
placed on sale, since that time
there have been over $50 homes
built, and numerous others are
under construction. There are ap
proximately $50 left to be sold, and
the probabilities are, according tc
Mr.. Golf, that they will all be sole
this summer.

STUCCo HOUSE IS MOVED
MILE WITHOUT A CRACK

Housemoving, however carefully
done, must inevitably put q much
greater strain on building than
the weather or settling strains it
was designed to Withstand.
In view of this, 1t hardly seems
possible that a large eight-room
stucco house could be cut In two
and moved more. than q mile with
out even cracking the stucco, YET
this feat was recently accomplished
at Waukegan, Ill. No extreme pre-
cautions were taken, and no espe
cial equipment was used. The home
was raised and lowered with jacks
and transported on the ordinary
steel moving trucks.

that of distinguishing between the

Probably the most widely known

Identical in structure and quality.
These are the ordinary asphalt

both contain impregnations of
asphalt; both are no more expensive
