Road crossing at Feltonville in less
than two minutes.
The new bridge is part of the i'm

That we have diligently tried to give
homeseekers the best buy in the city is
evidenced by: LIST, The unsurpassed
location-just one-half block off Con-
necticut avenue at Woodley road, where
property is daily increasing in value;
End, The construction of these homes,
which we believe to be the best in the
city. Their .ultra-modern equipment is
seldom found in houses priced far above
these 3rd, The price-$12, 950-which
speaks for itself.
