J. L. Schroeder
Optimistic Over
Realtv Outlook
j
Business Declared Equal to
That of Banner Year;
Homes Selling
Rapidly.
In commenting on the demand for
real estate, Jess L,. Schroeder, secre
tary of Schroeder Investment com
pany, realtors, states that this con
cern has had an almost continued
demand for new dwelling and small
investments this spring.
"Of course, we are constantly sell
ing older properties as well as new,
and anything that has the earmarks
of being a snap Is quickly sold, ,
Schroeder said. “We believe that the
general quality and construction of
the new homes now being offered
measure up to a higher standard
than for several years past,
"Realtors and contractors have
found through experience that better
construction and the better finished
homes find a quicker market, with a
good down payment. In fact, many
of the sales in our office have been
bringing cash for the builder's equity,
although most people have an aver
age of about 20 per cent of the pur
chase price to pay down.
"Buyers are quick to see value, and
after having inspected a number of
properties during their search for a
home, are able, by comparison, to
Judge building construction.
“We figured last year as being a
banner year,” concluded Mr. Schroe
der, "but our business this spring is
running right up to last year’s fig
ures,"

Nebraska, Iowa
Land in Demand
Neither State Has Advantage
With Purchasers of
Farms and Tracts.
Reports of farm land sales through
out this section of the country Indi
cate that the land buying tendency Is
not confined to any particular section
either of Nebraska or Iowa.
One of the larger deals made re
cently was the purchase by Roberts
brothers of Blanchard. Ia., of 750
acres of land near Chadron, Neb. The
new owners of the Nebraska land have
already moved to their new home.
Another sale of Interest which was
reported last week was that of the 160
acre farm owned by State Tax Com
missioner William H. Smith, five miles
from Milford, Neb., for $20,000.
The highest price per acre reported
In a land deal last week was that of
$400 an acre, which was paid for 40
acres near Traer, Ia. The improve
ments on this farm, however, are
valuable and bring the actual price
of the land below $300 per acre.
Other Iowa sales Included a 120-acre
farm near Dallas Center, Ia., for $225
per acre, and a 40-acre farm near the
same town for $287 per acre.

Twinridge, New
Addition, to Go
on Market Soon
I.tesidence Plot Adjoins Field
Club on West; All Im
provements to Be
Installed.
Twinridge, Omaha'* newest resi
dence addition, adjoining the Field
club on the west, will be placed on
the market this month by H. A. Wolf
company.
High and sightly, this tract of 201
lots extends from Forty-second to
Forty-fifth streets, and from Wool
worth avenue to Center street, a
scant two miles from the heart of
the city. Sunken gardens similar to
Verpy Hollow club In Dundee are
piar.ned for the valley between the
two ridges from which the addition
gets Its name.
Th“ lots are larger than usual,
measuring BO feet or more In width.
No mere business venture Is the
coming lot sale. Instead, It savors
of romance. The romance of con
verting cornfields Into sites for the
latest, most modernly-equipped homes
that are really homes.
Here, almost within walking dis
tance, Is a vista that will prove allur
ing to city workers. Wide stretches
Of blue sky, beautiful sunsets and
fresh, clean breezes promise to make
a strong appeal to prospective lot
purchasers.
AD Improvements.
All Improvements are In process of
Installation now. Grading Is already
completed, streets are marked, and
sidewalks, gas, w'ater and sewer work
Is now being done. Ornamental lights
will be shortly Installed and paving
laid before the end of the summer.
Ground for the first home In Twin
ridge was broken last ileek, although
the date for the formal lot sale to
open has not yet been announced.
This house will be Moorleh In style,
in architectural design of distinction.
Harry A. Wolf, president of the H.
A. Wolf company, has confidence In
the value of Twinridge lots, and all
propsrty In the southwest part of the
city.
“It Is dose In, and the only di
rection in which the city has not yet
expanded,” he emphasize*. "Resi
dence additions have been plotted as
for north and west as the city can
comfortably expand with present
transportation facilities; the river
and South Omaha encroach on the
other two sides, so that the south
west Is the only logical direction for
t*»e prospective home owner to seek
i n ideal site."
Adjoins Standard Place.
Twinridge adjoins Standard place,
the H. A. Wolf company addition
which established a record for speedy
building. Placed on the market In
June, 1922, a scant two years ago,
there are now 120 homes built, oc
cupied and In process of construction.
"To drive from Forty-fifth to Forty
eighth streets and from Pacific street
to Woolworth avenue today, no one
would believe it was so recently a
jornfleld,” said Wolf.
Morton Meadows, placed on the
market last year, also adjoins Twin
ridge. Twinridge boulevard, which
' traverses the new addition, will un
doubtedly prove the most popular
connecting link for automobile drlv
lng between downtown and the
Center road, lending to the Ak-Sar
Ben fields and to Center street, one
of Omaha's main thoroughfares.
City park officials have already
planted trees lining the boulevard and
sunken gardens and other efforts to
beautify thd landscape will be under
taken as soon as Improvements are
laid.
Endicott.—Frank Broyles, business
man of Endicott. has started operat
ing a bus line between Endicott and
__ Falrbury, connecting with all passen
ger trains.
