MANYSEEK BETTERQUARTERS Opportunity for Investment Whicb Looks Belter Than Holes in the Ground is Overlooked. Reference n.ale in The Argus to prospect plans for the renodeling of a building in the busine ss section for office suites hns brought a dozen or more inquiries to this p. -.per as to what building is to be so constructed. This is an indication of the demand for suitable rooms for offices. The most desirable office rooms in the city have lone since bom filled tr over flowing and many are compe lied to utilize undesirable quarters because .better ones are not available. Opportunity for Inir.lnirnt. Here is one of the opportunities for investment that is far better than buy ing mining stock and bolts in the ground and the capital that gets into it first with the riht location will have the best of the b al. The re is indisput able evidence for the : mand. thr question is with reference to t'.ie supply. In the same connect 'on. it might be said that a few modi in buildings com bining mercantile as well as office combinations would be rented out be fore they were complete. 1.
