SMALL HOUSES
PROVE POPULAR

The "open winter" weather of
January and February enabled
Floyd Peterman. $40 Garfield Ave,
builder, to complete several houses
which he had under construction
earlier in the winter.
Peterman, who has been engaged
in development of the territory north
of Twenty-frst street and in the
vicinity of DeQuincy, Wallace, Brad
ley, Leland and Caroline SITS, has
been unusually successful in the
construction and sale of four, five
and six room houses.
Three houses, 2435 Bradley Ave,
2230 Leland Ave, and 1926 Caroline
Ave-, all attractive bungalow types,
are about completed and ready for
occupancy. Many interesting archi-
tectural features are embodied in
these homes.
Peterman has made a speciality of
small house construction. He is an
experienced builder, designing, super
vising and financing all of his work.
Believing that Twenty-first ST., a
concrete paved highway, would re-
suit in rapid settlement and develop
ment in that section of the city,
Peterman has finished a number of
houses during the last two years.
II believe that the coming sea-
son will be busy one and 1 predict
that there will be a brisk demand
for the kind of houses we have been
putting on the market" said Peter
man.
People are demanding good
houses at a reasonable price. BY
careful planning, we have been able
to meet these requirements and I
see no reason why business should
not be good this year again"
Peterman recently remodeled and
refinished his downtown office, 500
Massachusetts Ave.
