importance Of Newspaper
Realty Advertising Cited

Newspaper advertising reachesthe
greatest field of prospects and the
Washington newspapers with their
weekly real estate sections offer the
best medium whereby the real es-
tate broker may bring his message
to a highly concentrated group of
readers, Norman Bull, advertising
director for w. C. & A. N. Miller
Development Co., told the WASH
ington Real Estate Board Forum
Thursday night.
Pointing out that the local news
papers carried approximately 1,800.-
600 lines of real estate display ad-
vertising during 1899, the speaker
stressed the Importance of proper
care in preparing advertising copy.
This sales message, according to
Mr.. Bull, should present the essen
tial facts in connection with the
property being offered by the broker
and one of these is the ease and Sc
curity which the home buyer gets
in the acquisition Of a home. The
use of illustrations in ads was dis
cussed and Mr.. Bull said reader
interest was greatly enhanced by
such use. The practical aspect Of
the use of classified and display
advertising was. brought out by the
speaker.
Chairman Joseph A. Herbert, jr.,
of the Real Estate Board Commit
tee on Education conducted the
question session following Mr.. Bulls
talk. The forum was the fourth
of a series conducted by the WASH
ington Real Estate Board.

Fourth Home
In Silver Star
Series Ready
French Provincial
Has Eight Rooms
And Four Baths

An unusually attractive, rambling
house of French Provincial design
will be opened to the public tomor-
row at 4745 Massachusetts avenue
NV. as the third in the 1910 series
of Silver Star Homes. It will remain
on exhibition daily through Sunday,
April 81.
This rather large house is we'll
constructed and has a plan and
room arrangement that is immedi-
ately appealing. 1t was designed
and built by Cooper Lightbown and
Associates. developers of Brookdale
and one of Washington's leading
home-building firms. The house is
tastefully decorated and furnished.
The exterior of the house Spon-
sored by The Star is of white brick
finish, topped by an unfading green
Vermont slate roof. which gives a
pleasing appearance. 1t contains
eight rooms and four baths. There
are three bedrooms and three baths
and halfway to the second floor
there is fourth large room with
attractive fireplace which may be
used either as library or an addi-
tional bedroom.
Thoughtfully Handicapped.
The builder was thoughtful in the
way he handicapped the large lot at
the corner of Massachusetts avenue
and Forty-eighth street. More than
100 tulips and 500 crocuses were
planted in the front yard. These
should bloom within the next 80
days. Several stone walls add to the
attractiveness of the grounds.
An unusual feature of the house is
q room Is by 26 feet in the basement
above the street grade with an en-
trance on Forty-eighth street. This
room is completely paneled and
painted antique white, with full
bath adjoining. 1t would be ideal
either for doctors Office or an un-
usually livable recreation room. A
porch, 10 feet above the level of
Massachusetts, avenue, is 80 feet
long and about 10 wide.
The floor plan has many attrac-
tive features The archway from
the front hall to the living room is
the only door in the room. This
gives ample wall space and makes
the living room easy to furnish at
tractively. In the room there is a
large picture window overlooking
the garden. There's fine fireplace
at one end, recessed bookshelves at
the other, and two large windows
facing Massachusetts avenue.
Arrangement of the dining room
is unique, in that it is not visible
from the hall or living room. There
Is a small door from the kitchen to
q secondary hall which permits ac-
cess to the front door without pass
Ing through other rooms.
Spacious Kitchen.
The kitchen is quite spacious. 1t
Is completely equipped. well lighted
and arranged so as to save many
steps.
Another feature of the home is
the wide stair landing halfway be-
tween the first and second floors,
with a large window overlooking
the garden. On the same level with
this landing there is the large room
with fireplace, to be used either as
library or bedroom. This room has
windows on three sides.
On the main bedroom floor there
are three bedrooms and two baths
