kitchen was unusually large and
well appointed. Close to Paul

around the corner from the
Truesdale School this is a very
nice apartment at $4,000.

HAMPSHIRE AVENUE:
In well-kept building of the
smaller type 1 inspected a very
cozy apartment of three rooms,

ment was splendidly arranged

quarters. Close to street car
lines and busses, near to both
parochial and public schools, I
recommend your inspection. The
rental is $500.

1900 BLOCK OF
ONTARIO ROAD:
Keeping the building in the
best possible condition at all
times and doing everything for
the comfort and convenience
of its tenants is just one of the
reasons why this apartment
building in the 1900 block Of
Ontario Road is one Of the most
popular in the city and seldom
has a vacancy. The building
which is modern and up.to-date
in every respect Is located near
Rock Greek Park and is con-
venient to the car lines serving
this section of the city. The
apartment consists of two bed
rooms, living room, Ginette,
kitchen and bath. The kitchen
is equipped with one of the new
model ranges and the electric re-
frigeration is on the house cur
rent. For a family with chill
dren this place is ideal as there
is plenty of outdoor space for
them to play and the rental is
most moderate at $47.50.
