K0TES KAUT NEW BUILDER 3
"Pundfng conditions In Omaha look
better to me than In any of th other Hg
dtlea I hav recently visited," asserted
Jam Black of tha construction company
of which h Is th head.
Black was In Omaha a short time Fri
day from an extended trip around tha
country. His observation regarding tho
bright local situation was expressed to
C. C. George and C, Louis Meyer at the
University club during a luncheon con
versation. Coming from a man of such
wide knowledge and egperlenc In th
building trade, tha opinion caused much
satisfaction among local business men
who heard it
Mr. Black stopped off In Omaha to look
over tha work on tho new Grain Ex
change building which ' his company Is
constructing. Speaking further, he said
"I found building conditions Improved
In New Tork, Pittsburgh, Cleveland and
Detroit but not good In Chicago, St
Louis, Denver and cities farther west 1
think building conditions In Omaha are
better than in any place I hav been
lately. Judging- from th number of fin
new structures going up here."
NEW DRAKE APARTMENTS
WILL BE FINISHED SOON
By the middle of next month another
of Omaha's new modern apartments will
bo ready for occupancy. The fact that
two of the suites In the building, known
aa the Drake apartments, at Thlrty-seo-

been leased, indicates that there Is still
plenty of call for thla class of home. Tha
