REALTY SALES ARE
STILL GOING AHEAD
No Letup Has ai Yet Been
Noted and None Is Ex
pected in Omaha.
Real estate men everywhere are giv
ing careful consideration to the effect
of the war on real estate values and
real estate business, with the general
sentiment being favorable to a bright
outlook. A bulletin recently issued
from the oifices of the National Asso
ciation of .teal Estate Boards sets out
the following opinion:
"Fundamentally, conditions were
never so favorable for a good market
as they are now. With this country
the creditor nation of the world, and
practically all other nations forced to
come here and buy. we have accum
ulated an Almost incredible amount of
wealth, which must find channels for
investment. 1 his will continue while
the war lasts, assuring a condition no
less prosp-rous than we now enjoy:
and, after the war, the development of
our own iroperty, wealth and re
sources, which have temporarily given
way to ou'.&idc demands, wilt keep in
dustry running full capacity to meet
requirement. . ,
To Keep Building.,
"Possibly in some sections, owners
are holding off logical improvements,
in the hope that a cheaper market
might enable them to build more eco
nomically in the future; but, when
loss of earning capacity, in compari
son witli increase in cost of build
ing is mad'., the natural result will be
that buildrrs will tire of waiting; and
before long, no doubt, an added stim
ulus to building, the tike of which as
a' general proposition this country has
not seen in years, will begin.
"It is interesting to note that In
industrial "ections, foreigners are in
vesting in real estate more havily than
ever befoc. With the establishing of
homes asng the foreign population,
better citizens are made, and the
money they earn is not hoarded, to
the same extent, to be sent across
the water to dependant relatives.
Once the foreigner owns his own
home, his dependants are brought to
this side."

Majority of New Renters
Are Newcomers to City
"Eighty per cent of the people who
apply at our desk for nouses and
apartments to rent are newcomers in
the city," said Clair R. Nelson, head
of the rental department of Payne &
Slater.
"This surely shows something of
the steady growth of Omaha. No
where, perhaps, is the fact so well re
vealed that people are moving into
Omaha every day in large numbers,
as in the rental business. I have been
noticing this for some time, and have
recently been making a check of the
situation."
Mr, Nelson says there is little
change in the rentals. "Apartment!
are renting about as they have been
for some time,", he said. The rentals
are no higher and no lower. There
is little change also in the rental of
houses. Contrary to the opinion of
many, rents have not gone up. If
anything, rents on residence houses
are, perhaps, just s trifle lower.
"Apartments are still in great de
mand. There is room in Omaha for
a good many more good apartment
houses. One of the big problems the
apartment house man has to face now
is the coal question."
Real Estate Market Not
Affected by War Times
A. P. Tukey t Son report the real
estate market as quite active, even in
these war times. They have been
making a special effort to sell the
property owned by the Tzschuck es
tate and have succeeded in selling it
all. The last piece sold was a large
house in the Field club district to
Robert H. Manley for a home. Two
other pieces sold were the terrace of
brick flats at Twenty-third and Web
ster streets to Morris Rosenblatt;
aluo another terrace on Twenty-first
street north of the High school, to
Nathan Horn. Mf. Horn also bought
a double brick flat and a frame house
on Chicago street between Twenty-
lilth and I wenty-sixth. ,
A. P. Tukev ft Son have sold twelve
acres of ground in Benson to a client
of the Payne & Slater company,
which company will put the property
on the market this summer in lots.
The'Omaha Water board purchased
a tract of ground adjoining its South
Twentieth street pumping station, of
the Kountze estate, through A. P.
Tukey & Son for $16,000. John W.
Robbins represented the Water board
in th transaction.
Late Sales Reflect lood
Prices for Local Lots
Several deals have been closed in
the last week or will be closed that
indicate decided activity in property
between Sixteenth and "thirtieth
streets and at prices as high as- any
which have been secured this spring.
One sale of a property which has
been on the market at what was con
sidered a top figure for the last sixty
days, is rumored and the facts con;
ccrning the sale are promised within
the next few days. The oil companies
continue to pay around $25,000 for ad
vantageous corners or to make long
Itases on the same basis. St. Mary's
avenue and Nineteenth street is the
latest corner thus promoted. The
property was sold to an investor and
a twenty-year tease immediately se
cured to an oil company on very fa
vorable terms. This is the third oil
company to secure a site in that vi
cinity in the last sixty days. The
interest flf the oil companies in this !
part of the city would indicate con
siderable faith in the delevolpment of
St Mary's avenue as a prominent
thoroughfare.

Value
in the Scripps-Booth means full money's worth.
It means dolkr-for-dollar in rugged-serviirendered.
It means power-value and performance-value a strong,
staunch chassis, built to do its duty, day-in-day-out
Scripps-Booth value means even more. - -
It means an added something which money cannot orcfi
, narily buy in motor cars.
That "something," in a man or woman, would be called
personality. In the Scripps-Booth it is the unmistakable
stamp of superiority. To the physical joys of perfect ,
motoring there is added a pride of possession which
money cannot measure.
