Expression of continued faith in Mm
neapolis real estate as an investment is
becoming very general among business
men of the city, cankers and profession
al men. While apparently all of them
haveland continued crip the faith that the values ito Minneapolis were to
steadily advance until they reached a
normal standard, some of them have
been keeping quiet about it. Recogniz
ing that public expression of their at
titude on the question might be of value
ia strengthening the general feeling on
the subject and acceding to request,
they have been giving publicity to their
views*
To further an interchange of opinion
on the subject the Minneapolis Beal
Estate board executive committee has
under formation a plan to dine repre
sentative bankers of the city to cement
the bonds of sympathy and produce a
warmer co-operation between the two
lines of business. The gathering is ex
pected to result in a vote of confidence
nd a profitable exchange of views.
Holds to His Property.
Jteal estate as an investment is an
actuality with Judge M. B. Koon, not a
theory. Altho not generally known as a
veal estate holder, Judge Koon says to
day that he has made his money in real
estate and that he considers Minne
apolis inside property the best kind of
an investment. His faith is shown by
the fact that he still owns much of the
,_, property which he bought years ago.

Altho the judge was confident on be
ing interviewed that he could add noth
ing to the literature of Minneapolis real
estate, he made some of the strongest
statements that have been uttered lately
on the subject of real estate investment.
However much others have wavered and
shown faint-heartedness on the subject
of placing local money in local land, Mr.
Koon displayed his sublime faith in his
home town in saying that he held ex
actly the same views on the subject that
he did twenty years ago. Inasmuch as
he laid the foundations of his fortune
two decades past by buying real estate,
his statement is calculated tot strengthen
the vertebral column of citizens less
loyal to their home town and confident
of" its prospects.
"The first money I made in this
town," he said, I made in real estate
that I bought when I came here, and I
continued to buy as long as I thought
it was cheap.
"By real estate I mean inside prop
erty, business property. It is the best
investment a man can make today. Men
who have shown faith in Minneapolis
by investing in real estate are the fel
lows that have made the money here.
Practically all the money I have ever
made was made in real estate."
A real estate boom or a speculative
element is something Judge Koon would

Barrett's Building Paper at Wholesale Prices on Tuesday, May 2nd
in this connection. Judge Koon owns
five-twelfths of the corner at Nicollet
avenue and Sixth street, covered by the
original Glass Block. With him are as
sociated E. A. Merrill, who owns three
twelfths, and Mrs. Nimocks, who owns
four-twelfths. In 1881 they bought the
first 90 feet on the avenue, with 132
feet depth, for $235 a front foot. In
1886 they bought the next 25. feet for
$1,500 a front foot. In 1891 they were
offered $2,500 a front foot and now, as
far as he ie concerned, Mr. Koon refuses
absolutely to put a figure on the land.
Wants Local Capital.
Otto E. Naegelc, president of the Ger
mania bank, has a high opinion of Min
neapolis real estate as an investment.
He favors placing of local capital in
land for improvement rather than the
investment of foreign capital simply for
speculation. While foreign capital
placed in local realty for the purpose
of investment and permanent improve
ment will result in retention of a pro
portion of the revenue in the city, spec
ulation will result in the carrying away
from Minneapolis the profits. Invest
ment for revenue is what -Mr. Naegere
advises.
"Real estate offered as mortgage se
curity to banks," he said, "we find is
among the best securities, as the loans
are exclusively confined to improved
property. We find the same on a sub
stantial basis of a rising market in real
upstate, locally speaking. While we
don't confine all loans, as a matter of
fact, to this class of securities, owing
to the length of time at which mort
gages are usually made, nevertheless ex
perience has taught us that loans based
on a low valuation of real estate are
counted as ready, assets, as they can be
sold to corporations and private indi
viduals having money to loan. The
rates also make it an inducement, be
sides the security offered upon a safe
basis as collateral securities.
"Doubtless our real estate is too low
a fact perhaps more readily appreciated
by nonresidents seeking a field for in
vestments, with the object in view of
improving the same for a revenue."
E. W. Decker, vice president of the
Northwestern National, would guard
against a boom and indiscreet or indis-

He said: I have great faith in the
future of Minneapolis and consequently
believe thatvthere is reason for a good
.substantial advance in" real estate val
ues among well selected pieces of prop
erty. There will undoubtedly be also
many indiscreet purchasers who may not
profit thereby. I see no reason whv
Minneapolis real estate is not a good,
safe investment, provided good judg
ment is used in making selections. Val
ues here are lower than in almost any
other city of equal size and prospects.0
Other bankers express the opinion
that the country banks are loaded np
with money which will,gradually seek
cheap investment. Stocks and securities
are generally well taken up. -Minne
apolis real estate being lower than in
other cities and the lowest thing in
Minneapolis, is likely to get a share of
the surplus funds.
Residence Property Low.
F. A. Chamberlain, president of the
Security bank, said that in his opinion
improved real estate at the present
prices is a desirable investment which
will, no doubt, show handsome increase
in value. Residence property generally
at present prices seems very low to Mr.
Chamberlain, and he believes that any
one looking for a home will no doubt
find the present an opportune time to
buy.
This magnificent home is vacant and will be offered for sale for one week
only at $1,500 less than our former asking price. If not sold this week,
will be rented. House consists of 10 fine large rooms, with 4 fine mantels
and grates first floor finished in extra heavy oak paneled reception
hall, grand open stairway, artistic library, finely decorated dining room,
fully equipped kitchen with stoves connected, and girl's room on first
floor 4 sleeping rooms on second floor, large attic and full basement fine
barn large east front lot. This house is in the choicest block in Sunny-
side and cost to build about $14,000. Can sell for half this price if taken

Lots Cheap by Comparison.
E. H. Moulton, secretary of the Farm
ers' & Mechanics' bank, says that he
has never seen a time Minneapolis
Iwhen conditions were so favorable for
Jreal estate investments. He added:
"At no time in the city's history have
prospects been so bright, not only in
real estate, but other lines of business.
Personally, I have always had the great
est faith in Minneapolis real estate,
which is lower in proportion to the
I city's population and prospects than
that of any city in the union. You
can buy residence lots cheaper in Min
neapolis today thanyou can in towns of
5,000 population. Within a year I have
been offered lots at $400 apiece which
sold in 1886 for $3,500."
