I FOR M YEARS
Only Relief in Co-Operative
Ownership, Says Prominent
New York Builder.
'Mueh has been said during the last
few weeks in reference to the ad.
visbility of the purchase of apart
'nest houses by tenant owners, or en
the eo-operative plan," says Frederick
A. Wyokoff. alce president of the
Wee4-Delson Company, Ins., of Npw
Terk city.
"If the property, after an investiga
tien, is a good investment for an
individual. it e is a far better
proposition for a group of ten
aw. who not only have the
investment, but are sure of pop
session of an apartment for mady
years to come, without the constant
anoyance of the change of owners,
the renewal of leases. increased
rentals, the question of pepairs. unde
airable tenants, etc.
LOOK DMUOR YOU SUF.
"A tenant. after deciding the integ.
city and reputability ef the people
who are offering the proposition.
should give careful consideration as
to the permanency of the home in
whieh he Is about to purchase. Much
attention should be given to the char
aster of the neighborhood and to any
conditions that may arise that would
make it undesirable for residential
purposes.
"Rentals in modern fireproof build
Ins will advance for a number of
years. or until such time as there is
open competition in the offering of
high class apartments. Under present
conditions it will take at least twelve
months to erect a twelve-story fire
jproof apartment house and no en
"courgement is offered to builders by
,labor, the reduction in the cost of
snsterials, or 'by capital. Conditions
in 1931 and 1922 will be worse than
they are today, the demand far ex.
ceedint the supply, unless capital
comes to the rescue.
"Rentals in modern fireproof build
ings are not high, considering the
tremendous increase in the cost of all
supplies and labor in the last three
years. It in a fact that in some fire
proof buildings in the best locations,
erected about ten years ago, the
,gross income today is less than at the
time of their erection, despite ,the
cry of high rents.
"Prior to 1914, due to cheap labor
and plentiful money, there was an
overproduction in all classes of
buildings. Rents were considerably
reduced, and only in the last year or
two have they been brought back to
their original figure. Any student of
present day conditions can surely
realise that the events of these years
will not be repeated.
CO-OPERATIVE OWNERSHIP.
"Where it was possible prior to'1916
to assemble a plot of five or six old
houses at a low figure for building
purposes, the price has now become
excessive. The loaning institutions
have increased the rate of interest
and have not increased the ampunt of
the loans in proportion to the cost of
the property, and I believe that with
the other items above mentioned the
hi h cost of building will continue for
p' umber of years, especially in those
of steel construction.
"Not only should there be a num
ber of tenant-owner purchasers of
buildings that are at present erected,
but it is my belief that many com
binations will be formed by those who
desire apartments built and planned
to suit their requirements with many
features that speculative builders
ignore. Under the proper guidance
and management, the incorporators in
these projects will have less trouble
than the tenants of the present day."

New Holloway Subdivision
Makes Appeal to Investors
With Limited Capital.
Considerable success is being met
by the J. W. Holloway Company in
its development of Riverdale Heights,
one of the newer subdivisions opened
up in 'the vicinity of Washington.
Riverdale Heights lb located just
outside the District line in Prince
Georges county, Maryland, abutting
and adjoining the old village of
River's Vale, which grew up around
the old Colonial mansion of Lord
Baltimore. This mansion is ttill
standing and is occupied by United
States Senator Hiram Johnson as his
Washington home.
There is a trolley line running
along halt a mile of the front of the
property and a splendid county road
leads to the city for automobile own
era. The Capitol and the Washing
ton Monument are plainly visible
from the property.
Two years ago the J. W. Holloway
Company opened up Colmar Manor.
Home seekers were quick to see the
opportunity offered, and as a con
sequence all lots in Colmar Manor
were rapidly disposed of by the Hol
loway Company. Today there are
sixty houses at Colmar Manor, where
there were none when the lots were
first offered for sale.
Inspired by this admirable record,
the Holloway Company believe they
can duplicate the success of Colmar
Manor in the proposition they offer
at Riverdale Heights. Persons of
small means will be able to take
advantage of the lots offered at
Riverdale Heights. as they will be
sold as low as $59. and on reason
able terms.
The J. W. Holloway Company en
joy an enviable reputation in the
business world, having officei in New
York, Trenton, Philadelphia. Wil
mington. Baltimore, and Atlanta, as
well as in this city. They intend to
devote all of their energy at present
to "putting over" Riverdale Heights
as a popular suburban residence sec
tion.
