THE PREMIER INVESTMENT

Real estate the Oldest safest in world,
delivering down the years YIELD is, perhaps, the most
neglected by the small investor of all investment feds
Governments may fall and have Real may be
fscated and that old story But real estate is
consigned the incneraor used paper walls
That, you know has happened numerous stocks and
bonds and will happen again 1t is the history OF real
estate from the DIM faint beginning of man. that is
tangible and real possession When the first dune
dweller in Mongolia, the first in France,
the first apeman in Java elected for himself particular
place for his regular habatOn he then and there laid
down the principle of real possession worth
having.
There are many of sound judgment past and
present. who have said that every should have at least
portion of his her wealth in real esatehe amount
in each to be reative OF course Many shreWd IN
nothing but real estate.
But according present-day methods of investment,
Investigation is the correct procedure and only safe
percentage Of ones wealth should be in real estate
other thing Some, however, should be in real
estate! That's the point.
The average person with money to invest, much or
little is going to get excited when that information is
impaired to him by wellnformed sincere real estate
broker. He may smile superior smile, tolerant smile
and say nothing Just be polite For the moment he's
a big brother putting up with little brother
He may say, and too often does say, Give me
bonds And all he really knows about bonds is how to
spell the word But in his mind not clearly, mind you,
but hazy and Distant is the firm impression gained from
where he knows not that when owns bond he can
lose. He doesn't know Why but that is the way he
feels about it, and he lets go that He is headed for
trouble and all frequently his experience more than
trouble, it's tragedy!
T There is nothing wrong with bonds-the right kind
And that is Just as true of real bond is not
good investment and safe because it is bond And real
estate safe and to rise in value because 1t is
dirt. or dirt brick and mortar together
But let us assume that what this hypothetical person
saws is this That's all right say in the abstract, but
where and how is one to invest in real estae?

WATCHED OYSTERS GROW

The birth Of an oyster was recent
ly shown by moving pictures and
it's development up to the time it
may be planted as seed. This film
ing of the dividing egg cells after
fertilization is thought TO be the
only cinema record of how a sim
pie cell develops into complicated
animal
In a recent lecture to the Brook
lyn Institute of Arts and Sciences
at the Brooklyn Museum William
Firth Wells Of the State Conserva-
ton Department. who has been d.
rectly in charge Of the States oyster
experimental work, described new
methods of oyster culture.
Experiments conducted by the de-
partment during the last few years
have resulted in the propagation Of
oysters artificially from the egg and
their steady increase in production
indicates that in a few years the
pedigreet oysters may by quantity
production be made TO compete in
price with the natural seed.
The need of some dependable
source of seed because Of the failing
supply is demonstrated by the rapid
secline of the oyster industry in
the North during the last fifteen
years. Over half of the land leased
by the State has been abandoned.
and the industry has suffered seri-

these soon to be completed are
homes of less pretentious charac

homes of colonial influence in ar

these new homes and also in those

New Bridge over Barneaat Bay
Another important improvement
is the bridge in course of construc-
ton between Seaside Heights and
Toms River across the Barnegat
Bay, to take the place of the present
structure, which has been found TO
be in highly dangerous condition.
Seaside Heights and Seaside Park
are already making plans for The
formal opening of the bridge some
time in May, probably the last part
of the month. 1t is planned to have
big automobile parade from Toms
River in the afternoon, ending at
Seaside Park. Seaside Park fire
men will also make this county
firemen's day, asking all the fire
companies in the county to come
to games and contests for handsome
prizes, and entertaining them hand
somely, too.

are being drawn or have reached

$500, 900 are in the preliminary
stages of preparation, these being
a twelve story building at 1907

in steam kilns and then sub
mitted to the weather fof
curing, and a uniform block
is easily produced.
Early blocks often crumb-
led and permitted water to
enter the basement like a
sieve or we're incapable of
supporting the tremendous
weight to which they were
subjected.
The public finally was pro-
tected by law, which made it
necessary for manufacturers
of cement blocks to have
their blocks meet a test of
800 pounds of pressure to
the square inch. However,
manufacturers are striving
to produce blocks of far
greater strength and our
blocks have passed tests more
than double the required 800
pounds.
We are not only manu-
featuring blocks, but are now
producing from concrete
many things which formerly
were only obtainable in stone
for the exterior of homes.
These products are not ex-
pensive and come within
reach of every one.
Your lawn or garden need
not be with out a bird bath,
sundial, benches or fountain,
as all these can be had in con.
crete. We are producing a
full line of ornamental con-
crete products, attractive in
appearance and price.

BETTER BUILDING

There was time not SO
long ago when little or no
consideration was given by
the average person to the
quality of materials. method
of construction or even TIE
workmanship in the house he
was building.
In the last few years there
has been a decided trend to-
ward better building and
better homes. Many agencies
interested in better building
are searching for different
materials, their worth and
methods of manufacture,
correct construction, proper
heating and other vital
points.
1t has been realized by UNI
fair builders that the public
has lacked a knowledge of the
things important in building
and many ''gunshot" houses
have been put on the market.
The public is more reluct-
ant each year to buy a house
on somebody's word and as
questions begin to be asked
about construction and
quality, poorly built houses
become harder to sell. Own
ers are beginning to realize
there is something else of I'M
portance about house be-
sides its appearance.
Good building begins at
the foundation. Every
foundation, regardless of the
material used, should begin
several feet below the cellar
floor and be placed on a sub
stantial base. Cement and
cement products have played,
and always will play an inn
portant part in foundation
construction.
Good blocks now are pro-
duced by the hundreds, dried

New centerSof City
1t soon became apparent to me
that with the growth and improve
ment which is everywhere so
marked in this Worlds Playground
the flow of business and the desire
of people to live a bit removed
from the business center and the
thick of the traffic, would create
new center of Atlantic City be-
cause the city could not grow any
more northward on Absecon Island,
nor could it grow eastward, so
that the expansion would be south.

Every day confirms these i'm.
pressions because of rapid changes
now going on, with increase in
values of property and with new
buildings already under con-
struction and plans being perfect
ed for more new buildings.

considered all prospects of the

came convinced that Albany Boule-

ter of Atlantic City. / made my
investments accordingly and
have reason today to feel that the
trend of growth and improvement,
now most apparent to all, has fully
supported my own opinion and the
investments I have made.
The certainty that Albany Boule-

Atlantic City became fixed in my
mind years ago and / still see
great possibilities for this boule-
ward although, today the type of
buildings and the high character
to which they are devoted leaves
nothing except that over which
We may well feel proud.
City and county are cooperating
to make the Albany avenue bridge
the best possible to construct, a
further evidence of the importance
of this thoroughfare. Every owner
of property and every business
man on this boulevard today
shares the same optimism and con-
fidence that they are situated in
the center of the city.
Business on this boulevard is
constantly increasing because the
pressure of Atlantic City's growth
and improvement is behind it.
