BIG DEALS ITREAL ESTATE
High-Priced Property Seemingly to
Be the Kind that Has Been in
Much Greateit Demand..
AN EXPLANATION 19 OFFERED
Th. rich nutn'a Win" In the way
some of the rral estate mm have char
acterized the pirnrnt n-tlvity In the
transfer of valuable downtown property
tlurtnsr th. last fow weeks ana to eom
extent the last few month. In the his
tory of Omaha real estate activities thla
1i unique when taken In connection with
the moderate demand at the present time
for property tn the districts outside the
business section, or tn Hie residence sec
tion. Not that the sales of residence property
are bad. bnt they are admitted to he not
nearly In proportion to what they should
be when the activity of downtown prop
erty Is taken Into consideration.
An real estate firms are making a mod
erat number of sales of residence prop
erty, but none la claiming- an especial
boom In this line Just now. All hare the
feellnf, however, that the boom In down
town business property Is sure to be re
fleeted In outlying activities as soon aa
spring comes.
What has caused the sudden activity
In downtown business property?
Omaha Iln, Great Patare.
Business men hold various opinions on
the matter, but they oil center In thn
one proposition that Omaha Is a city
that has a great future, and that the In
vestors have suddenly come to realize
this more than ever before.
It has been heralded from ocean to
ocean that Owiaha Is the bright spot on
the map.
this publicity did not originate In
Omaha. 3t was not a boost article
framed up by a paid publicity man. It
originated outside of Omaha. It orig
inated In tho old-established credit houses
inthe east that kept close tab on the
pu"e of business throughout the land.
It rntne fmm Invostor... "financiers and
business men fmm h doxen corners of the
country. And It showed up constantly
In tho condition of collections aa compiled
hy the Associated Ad Clubs of America,
and a half dosrn reliable credit bureaus
of the cot.ntrv.
The maps made by these people period
ically throughout the winter, with their
hlirh percentile of collections, volume of
sales and oilier business activities show
ing; tn the Omaha territory over and
above any other territory tn the country,
will always stand as a monument to
Omaha and Nebraska.
lilait It Has (ante.
The question then comes. It Is asserted,
why did the owners of much of the ralu
able downtown property decide finally
to let ko of It? Well, there were sme
who would never set a price on their
stuff before the lust winter, but the fact
that they would set no price finally
drove to desperation those who wanted
the property, which resulted in offers
that no one could refuse.
"A rich man's boom." aa the real es
tate men call It. la truly what it has been
for a lew weeks or a month, for thing's
have been movtn pretty regularly In six
figures for some time. And everyone
knows that the poor man does not deal
In six figures, unless ho happens to be
the rich man's bookkeeper. Neverthe
less, no one in the real estate field Is re
gretting the appearance of this '"rich
man's boom." All have the feeling that
It means business, and that the activities
of spring are going to be very satisfactory'.

The plan shown' today tg one of the '
newest designs of the fanlllar five-rooni
cottage so popular In and about Omaha.
It la very economical to build and con
veniently arranged. The living room Is
across the front of the house and directly
in front of the dining room. The kitchen
u hack of the dining room with built-in
pantry cupboards and entry for Ice. This
plan Is different from the ordinary five
room cottage. In that the bedrooms are
at each side of the bath room and con
nected by a hall thut also opens lnta
tl.e kitchen and dining room. The di
mensions of the house are 21x40 and the
-ounih arc all of good sizo and nine-foot
. filings.
Note the arrangement of the vestibule
nud the small coat closet directly off of
il and the closet for the front bedroom
behind that- Also note the built In buf
fet and bookcase pedestals between the
. uining room and living rooms.
This home makes a good one for a
young couple just starting to keep house,
for it is large enough to meet their re
quirements and not too large for tho
young housekeeper.
