PAY KENT MONEY” TO YOURSELF.
The r< nting situation is serious an d is going to be worse. We are offering
this suggestion as a solution of the problem:
Why not buy one of our reduced ? rice hemes with a view’ to occupying it
for two or throe > ars until conditions settle; then re-sell at a profit in bet
ter tin«s, thus saving both rent and worry?
On account of past conditions there are a number of good homes on sale at
■r less than the house *>nld be built for; »oth prudence and good judgment
commend the purchase of a home just now when that home can be bought at
far less than its value.

Davison-Paxon-Stokes Co. Will
Erect Addition to Their Building
at Whitehall and Hunter.
L. O. Turner, with the M. R Throw
er Real Estate Compaif . bYlday an
nounced that he had closed finally a
lease on the McClure Building for a
term of 15 years, to the Davison-
Paxon-Stokes Company, which will
take possession January 1. The
amount of the rental to be paid by the
lessees will total approximately $300,-
000 for the entire term of years.
Ddvison-Paxon-Stoxes Company
leased the building for the purpose of
erecting a handsome four-story struc
ture on the site to match the present
quarters of the company, which now
immediately adjoin the McClure
Building.
It is stated that the Davison-Paxon-
Stokes Company will erect the build
ing at a cost of approximately $60,000
which expenditure will be borne by
the company. The Erskine estate will
at the end of the 15 years, receive the
$300,000 less the actual cost of the new
buildih^. Work will be started on
the structure immediately following
possession January 1.
Mr. Turner represented the estate
of the late William Erskine. Others
interested in the lease were the widow
of the late Mr. Erskine, Mrs. Mary N.
Erskine. Mrs. Peter Cline, M. A.
Erskine and Miss V. A Erskine.
On the west side of Whiteha’l street
the property fronts 31 feet, and has a
depth of 103 feet on Hunter street, al
though not running through to Broad
street. That part of the lot^ extending
toward Broad street, and not included
in the present deal, was some time
ago obtained by the Davison-Paxon-
Stokes Company, making the present
lease give the lessees a complete L
turn on th^ property.
The McClure Company has occu
pied its present quarters for 15 years,
only lately having leased a part of
the J. M. High Building, in which it
will move about January 1.

NOVEL FEATURES
HAKE UR BILL
AT LYRIC
There is a Berles of novelties on
the Lyric bill that adds a hit of
spice to life.
Perhaps the most novel event
of the program was "The Race of
Man.” Representing the live
races, there appeared the negro,
the Indian, Hawaiian, Chinese
pnd American. After a solo, the
live sang an ensemble. Benny One.
a Chinese, sang in his native
lingo. It was ajtlawaiian number
rendered in Chinese. The com-
Jjinatlon brought forth applause.
There was a whirl wind dancing
team—the Kenneys - that pirouet
ted about in diverting fashion.
The Gardens, billed as xylo
phone wizards, lived up to the
moniker. They were clever.
"An Incident in Everyday Life"
was a sketch that was full of
substance. It ? was based upon
the theme that mothers are sel
dom appreciated pntil something
happens. The cast that presented
it was very capable.
Noodles Fagan, a fat comedian,
and a rapid-fire rhymster, got a
big hand, when he sprang his
wheezes—some venerable, some
new—about current topics.
The war pictures were not as
interesting as the previous epi
sodes, but the Pathe-Hearst pic
torial w^m. wonderful.
The bill is well worth seeing.
