EXCELLENT DEMAND FOR
RICHMOND REAL ESTATE
"Let money get available at a fair
rate of interest and we are going to
liavc a woii'lerfill real estate market."
said .1. .1. Pollard, of Pollard Haul y.
when interviewed yesterday. "The
people are right up against the bit
i a tid ready t o go."
According to Mr. Pollard there is
I a good demand for real estate for
j homes and business property to be
' used for specific purposes, but at this
I time ihcBo is a very little demand
j-for speculative property, for the rea
] son that some of the large money
lenders are taking advantage of the
I money market and charging large
| rates of int erest
Ivirlng the mouth of May the sales
[ of PnPard & Bagby amounted to
t $.">70,000 which shows, according to
j Mr Pollard that the people are still
willing to put their money into lllch
mond real estate.

the annual meeting of the Tobacco
Association of the V'ntted States,,
which will be held in Washington
June 30 to July 2. At that meeting
the tobacco buyers and manufacturers
of the entire country are expected
to assemble and their association will

It Is probable, however, that the

will open up about July 20; the Knst

about September 1 or possibly one or
two weeks sooner, and the Virginia

THE TREMENDOUS BUYING
POWER OF RENT
Is only realized by tho man who is buying his own
home.
It is a fad that over U'?r'r of tin* people who own
their own homes buy them on the monthly payment
plan. What better proof of the practicability of this
method of buying could be desired?
Decide now to buy your own home in the new
Byrd Park section?the prettiest place in the city
and the most delightful to live in.
It will pay you to inspect our new homes now
under construction in Rosewood Avenue and make
your selection at onee for September 1st possession.
