THE ELMWOOD PLAN
VOL I.
THE FIRST ELMWOOD
HOME STARTED
Elmwood Park la now the scene of actual buiMlng operations. The cellar diggers
are busy. Stone, brick, lumber and other building materials are being hauled to the
scene of activity. The first house in EJmwood will be the most important house ever built
in Detroit The possible exception would be the first house built in these parts, con
structed by De la Mothe Cadillac 215 years ago.
Detroit’s First House
It was part of the firet '‘community” in this section—and that community idea did not
differ much from the community idea at Elmwood. Cadillac had'the same plan in view
that the creators of Elmwood have.
He and they—and all sensible folks from the beginning of civilization—agree that the
primary waeendal of happiness,
health and maces* tn life is a
good home hs a good neigh
borhood.
The plana for the ftnt
Elmwood home were drawn
by Captain J. A. Mason, an
architect of wide experience
in the art of community build-
L inf. His experience in this
work in European countries,
which are world famous for
tbetr ideal communities, and
in this country, marks him as
an authority in his particular
line.
The First
Elmwood
Home
will contain 6 rooms—a cozy
living room with a pleasant
bay window at one end, and
one of those even-attractive
fireplaces at the other; a light,
pleasant dining room; three
light and airy bedrooms; a
kitchen that the wife will be
happy to work in; a modern, complete bathroom—and an attic where odds and ends may
be «tored. There will be a full cellar of brick and cement floor. The heating will he by
hot air furnace. There will be running water, electric fixtures and other necessary conveni
ences that are to be found in the most modern city home. The house will he built ot
white stucco, with red and green trimmings. Then there will he a roomy front pdrch and
» beautiful lawn sloping gently away from it
We think we can build such a house for—well never mind how much—suffice to say
that this is a house for the man of moderate means. Ilut the man of wealth will be glad to
Uvt'bdL
Wa would like to tell you more about this wonderful house. We will if you are
sufficiently interested to ask for further details

STREET CAR FRANCHISE
PASSED BY BIG MAJORITY
Samuel A. Merchant, Preiident of the Samuel A. Merchant Company, and Cecil G.
McCoUom, Treasurer of the same Company, are grateful to the Wot Side real estate
men who aided in the work of securing a strong vote in favor of the street car franchise
In Ecorae Township.
‘‘The returns indicate that the franchise was adopted almost unanimously," Mated
Mr. Merchant. “The largest number of votes cast against it were in Kiver Rouge, where
we understand the vote stood 75 for the franchise and 15 against it. The opposition,
If auch it may be caJled, was due to some idea that the tra.ck should run down Vixgar
Road instead of St. Cosme and to some extent to an idea that the new car line might
possibly involve some liability on the Township. As to \ isgar Road, we feel that is a
matt« that should he taken up by tho*-e interested and pushed to the front by them, with

thing to do. As to liability to the Township, there i« none The franchise was granted
