COUNTRY CLUB
LOTS GO FAST

Exceptional interest has been dis.
played among prospective home
builders in the opening Of the
Country Club Section" OF Lee
Heights, Va, by Ruby Lee Minar,
Inc. Although the new tract of
70 home sites was not placed for.
mally upon the market until this
weekend, a large number Of per-
sons inspected the property during
the week and reservations OF ap-
proximately $4,000 worth Of land
were made by purchasers.
The Country Club Section" Is
the eighth addition to Lee Heights
since the subdivision was first
placed on the market in 1923. The
ern boundary of Section z, an.
Heights, to the attractive green's
OF the Washington Golf and Coun.
try Club. Building restrictions IN
Section are such as to insure
type Of homes in harmony with
the country club environment. The
lots fronting directly on the coun-
try club grounds are larger than
the others and have a higher
building restriction.
Discussing the amazing growth
Of Arlington county in the last few
years, Mrs. Minar said that the
development had far surpassed her
early expectations when she began
buying land in the county seven
and eight years ago.
Amazing Growth
II was convinced from the first.
she said, "that the Virginia side Of
the Potomac, which formerly had
been quite generally ignored by
the larger builders and developers,
was the logical section for the
forthcoming expansion OF the Ma
tional Capital. I am frank to say,
however, that the rate Of develop
ment and growth there has been
even more rapid than / anticipated.
There were really only three
outstanding considerations in the
selection OF the site for Lee
Heights at the time the various
tracts OF land were purchased for
this purpose. They were the un-
usual elevation, the proximity OF
a golf and country club, and the
nearness to the center of town.
AT that time real estate developers
did not attach so much importance
to the nearness of a country club,
but today practically every large
subdivider sees to it that the land
to be developed is not far from a
golf course If there is no golf
course near. the developer most
likely will build one himself.
"Since the time that the Admiral
Rixey and the DR.. Taber Johnson
farms were purchased for develop.
ment as Lee Heights, many public
improvements. whose coming so
soon could not have been predicted.
have been got under way or COM

ures and the number of overnight
sales by auctioneers has been re.
duced. The industry is prosperous
and looks forward to an even more
prosperous year.
Science in Credit
Mr.. Uehlinger declares that cred
1t is a business necessity. but must
be extended on q scientific basis.
He recommends a business service
department for every firm as q pro.
lection to itself and it's customers.
Through unscientific methods credit
is often extended where it should
not be given, and is as often re.
fused where il should be granted.
When q merchant or manufac.
turer feels his business slipping"
says Mr.. Uehlinger. land it becomes
difficult to meet his obligations,
when he sees his assets gradually
