13 THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 9, 1919. CALIFORNIA SALES DUE TO PUBLICITY Real Estate Dealer Tells Success of Campaign. of RESIDENCE PROPERTY SLD Paul C. Murphy of Laurelliursl Company Gives Advice That Moves Desirable Lots. How the realty business in a fine residential district of a western city, which had been practically at a stand still, was stimulated through a home newspaper advertising campaign to a point of activity that was highly sat isfactory to the owners is. told in a letter received by realty dealers in Portland from Duncan McDuffie, president of the Jlason-McDuf f ie com . pany of San Francisco, the firm 'which was handling the property in cuestion. Sir. McDuffie was undecided as to what methods to employ to get his property before the public at a time when it was known that real estate was coming into demand again. At the advice of Paul C. Murphy of the I-aurelhurst company of this city and others he tried a newspaper advertis ing campaign, with gratifying results. .Ir. McDuffie writes of his sales cam paign in part as follows: "Practically no vacant residential property had been sold in San Fran cisco except to speculative builders, since the war began. During 1917 and 1918 few houses wer sold and it whb not until the increase in popula tion combined with complete shut down of building placed a heavy pres sure on all existing residential ac commodations that the house market became . an active one. Since the spring months of this year, this ac tivity has increased to a point. where It is possible to sell anything it is possible to build even at prices which a re a reflection of the high construc tion costs. "The result of this situation has been that our salesmen became con verts to the idea that they could not Fell unimproved lots; that in order .to sell a lot we must invest additional capital equal at least to the value of the lot. Primarily we are in the busi ness of selling land and not investing capital in building operations. There fore it seemed unnecessary to attempt to create a lot market. "After an examination of local con ditions, I felt somewhat discouraged about the advisability of advertising, but correspondence with Paul C. Murphy of Portland and a conference "With J. C. Nichols of Kansas City con vinced me that we ought to make the attempt. We have acted upon the advice and the result so far has been more satisfactory than we had hoped for.' The system employed by the San Francisco firm was a number of pre liminary advertisements designed to arouse curiosity and interest. Then they broke into big space in all the daily newspapers with the result that the property began to move in a way that Mr. McDuffie says, exceeded all his expectations. DEBT L E EASIER JlOHTtiAGE PAYMENT LIRE REM XOW POSSIBLE. Guarantee Company Is Organized to Facilitate Ownership ol Homes in Portland. 'Pay off your mortgage like rent," Is the plan adopted by the newly formed Mortgage Guarantee company at a directors' meeting last week. Following the plan of the Federal Farm Loan bank, small periodical payments may be made on residence loans, and in this way borrowers may retire their indebtedness and own their own homes free from incum brance. Arrangements will be made which in most cases will retire loans in from six to nine years. According to R. S. Howard, vice president of the Ladd & Tilton bank. the Portland clearing house banks feel that in financing the building or purchase of homes they have not done their full duty to the city un less they provide a method whereby borrowers may liquidate these loans on an easy payment plan. Although Portland capitalists or ganized the new mortgage company to meet the present crisis in the housing situation, Mr. Howard asserts that its effects will be far reaching. Progressive bankers realize that the best way to develop a city is to make it a city of home owners, and if sev eral thousand new home owners can be created by this plan, the bankers will feel well repaid for the time and funds they are devoting to it, he says. That the local situation demanded immediate relief is indicated by the great number of applications for loans being received. In order that per sons may be settled for the winter without delay, several appraisers are being employed, and the officers meet daily. Over 100 loans were made in the first three weeks of October, and the number of applications is increasing. As fast as loans are made they are res-old to local banks or capitalists and the funds reinvested in new mort gages. The company's working cap ital is $200,000. The directors of the company are: J. C. Ainsworth, Earl C. Bronaugh, John F. Daly. Walter M. Daly, Frank lin T. Griffith, R. S. Howard. Isaac D. Hunt. K. B. McN'aughton, Paul C. Mur phy. W. P. Olds. Emery Olmstead, Ira F. Powers. Robert K. Smith, Edgar W. Smith, Nathan Strauss and S. F. Wilson. construction at this time. An ex pansion of the business, with the building of homes on a larger scale than ever before, is contemplated now. however. Mr. Douglas left for Seattle Wednesday evening to confer with builders there and carry on business negotiations in cdnnection with the building of the Rose City Park homes. UNITED ARTISANS TO BUILD Site at Seventy-Fourth and Divi sion Streets Is Purchased. To provide a home for aged mem bers of the order, the United Artisans will erect a building in Portland next spring upon a tract of land the pur chase of which has just been con cluded by the executive board of the society. The site is located at Divis ion and East Seventy-fourth streets and comprises several acres. Upon the advice of officers of the Artisans, after conferring with offi cers of other lodge homes, it was de cided to erect the Artisan home at a place easily accessible from head quarters and the Portland site was selected. The property is accessible by street car and has a paved street the full length of its frontage. The ground rises from the street to an attractive knoll and upon the view point the home will be erected. The building will be of California mission mi E PUN . UNDER DISCUSSION IN EAST New York's Example lowed by Others. Fol- HEARIMGS ARE SCHEDULED C. Ainsworth Tells of Movement to Regulate Building, Similar to That in Portland. That the adoption of a zoning plan is a foremost issue in many eastern cities as well as in Portland was the message brought back by J. C. Ainsworth. president of the United States National bank, on his return or single family dwelling houses, and a stable or a garage is erected in proximity to them, there follows a re quest for a reduction of assessed value of the property near by, which is almost always Injuriously affected in its value by the proximity of such a building so used. "It must be clear, he said, that to conserve the financial -stability of the city and its power to incur in debtedness and pay its debts, it is most important to conserve the land values. They passed their zone or dinance in 1 a 1 6 to do this and as far as I could find out. it has worked well, a reasonable number -of amend ments having been adopted from time to time to ease off the points where the shoe pinched." Mr. Ainsworth is vice-president of the Portland. City Planning commission. NEW FLYINO FIELD ASSURED Aerial Visitors to Be Cared For at Old Exposition Grounds. Opening of a second flying field in Portland, that of the Oregon. Wash ington and Idaho Aviation company, was assured last week when , the aviation company leased a 60-acre tract of the old Lewis and Clark fair grounds from Reed college. Work is already well under way and the grounds will be improved to make BEAUTIFUL DUTCH COLONIAL RESIDENCE BEING ERECTED ON PORTLAND HEIGHTS. eg- W' 1.' ' XAlV?

Munger at Buena Vista, and Montgoipery drive, in Portland Heights. The framework of the main structure is now being put up by the car penters and the dwelling will be ready for occupancy about the first of the year. The home is of Dutch colonlHl architecture, ten rooms and modern throughout. Special advantage is taken of the sightly location, and from many of the rooms and from the glass-inclosed porch a splendid view of the city and valley is obtainable. The grounds are to be beautified to conform with the architecture of the house and the lay of the land. A sunken garden will be a feature. Lawrence & Holford are the architects of the dwelling and Thomas Chrlstensen Is the general contractor. style and every effort will be made to accentuate the home rather than the institutional effect. The architects are now drawing up plans for the building and will have them ready to submit to the society within a short time. The building will be constructed on the unit plan, so that additions can be made from time to time as need demands. The first unit will be erected next spring at a cost of about $25,000. SIXTY BUNGALOWS PLANNED Rose City Park to Be Scene of Much AVinler Building. Rose City Park will be the scene of extensive home building during the winter and spring, according to plans now being formulated by the West ern construction company of this city. The concern will specialize in build ing homes for those with small means and allowing payments upon the in stallment plan. " Sixty bungalows of cozy architecture- and moderate price are planned by the company in Rose City Park, the homes to be of from four to six rooms and costing $2400 and up. The erection of the dwellings will provide relief from the acute housing situa tion in Portland, It is felt. A. Rolling and E. S. Douglas are at the head of the Western Construction company and the concern has been building homes for some time past and lias a considerable number uudei J. W. WIEDRICK SELLS OUT Interest in Firm Taken by Partner, Henry W. Goddard. A change in the realty firm of God dard & Wiedrick was effected recent ly by the withdrawal from the firm of J. W. Wiedrick and the purchase of his interest in the business by the other partner, Henry W. Goddacd. The withdrawal of Mr. Wiedrick was made because of ill health. This realty business was carried on for some time by Mr. Goddard, who has been a resident of Portland since 1879, but in 1909 Mr. Wiedrick, who had been in the realty business In Buffalo, N. Y., came to Portland and formed a partnership with Mr. God dard. About two years ago Mr. Wied rick was struck and knocked down by an automobile and ill health, re sulting largely as a result of the acci dent, it is stated, caused the retire ment of the junior partner this fall. While the firm has conducted a general realty business, special at tention has been given to Inside prop erties, Mr. Goddard by reason of his long residence in the city and intim ate connection with business organ ization, having handled this depart ment of the firm's work to a large extent. VIEW PROPERTY IN DEMAND Several Portland Heights Homes Are Sold Recently. View property is proving unusually desirable to prospective home build ers or home owners at this time, ac cording to Mrs. John Brooke, realty dealer, who handles Portland Heights property exclusively. Among the im portant sales announced by Mrs. Brooke recently is that of the former John H. Boyd home at 567 Montgom ery drive to H. H. O'Reilly of the Oregon Round Lumber company. The home is one of the most beautiful in that section, being of ten rooms and modern throughout, with hardwood floors and woodwork of ivory and ma hogany. The residence stands upon a site 90 by 200 feet and commands a notable view of the city and distant mountains. from a six weeks' trip to New York and other eastern centers. "Many cities of the east are follow ing the lead of New York.. St. Louis, Los Angeles and other cities In try ing to adopt a sensible and practical zoning plan and ordinance that will stabilize real estate values; stimulate home ownership as the best antidote to the present labor unrest and, above all. provide a safe zone for Industries to Invest," said Mr. Ainsworth yes terday. "While I was in New York there was a quarter-page advertisement in the New York Sun by a prominent real estate firm saying that the New York zoning law has put the 'real' in real estate and taken out of It the 'state of uncertainty,' and that form erly when a man owned a lot he could put 'up a public garage, a store or anything he wanted to next to his neighbor's private dwelling. He can't dq that today; certain streets are re stricted, and have been since 1916, to business, others for private resi dences, others for factories and garages. After three years' trial New York has found that zoning pays and pays well, and I am sure that with care here we can adopt a zoning plan that will pay Portland also. HearinKH to Start. "I hear that our public hearings on the first tentative draft of our Portland zone ordinance are to start on November 17. I was told that the Newark, N. J., zone ordinance is In about the same stage of adoption; public hearings are to begin on it on November 11. Detroit, Cleveland. Omaha and a number of other cities, including Rochester, N. Y.. also have zone ordinances in preparation. I understand that Tacoma had to pass a preliminary zone ordinance the other day to take care of garages. So the necessity for zoning is apparent in all these cities and for practically the same reasons that we have found here. "A. Lawson Purdy, former assessor of New York city, and president of the National Municipal league, after many years' observation of the de preciation of property caused by hap hazard development, strongly advo cated the present New York zone or dinance, pointing out that the failure to impose proper restrictions upon uses to which buildings may be put lias caused enormous loss to the own ers of real property, and has in many cases rendered buildings of good char acter hardly suitable for human habi tation by reason of the deprivation of adequate light, air and access, as well as the objectionable noises and other like incidents of a manufacturing in dustry.

I . one of the finest private flying fields in the entire country, officials of the company declare. The Oregon, Washington and Idaho aviation field will be located on the site of the United States government building at the fair, the approach to the property being across the famous bridge of nations. 7'he entire penin sula is being leveled, cleared and put into shape similar to a ball park. The field was specially selected with a view to having it available for both land and water machines. Large hangars are being constructed for the housing of the flying boats on the river side of the field, while the land machines will be cared for by other hangars. The field is located elose to the heart of the city, and yet has the advantage of being reached by air planes from five differeiU. courses without flying over a single roof of a house of a populated district. Through the opening ot the field purchasers of airplanes and visitors flying to the city may receive similar treatment as the automobile tourist now does through the automobile re pair and supply shops. His plane may be housed over night and all re pairs and adjustments made. Tha company has secured the services of C. M. Aldrich as crlief mechanic. Mr. Aldrich was a government expert during the war at the naval aircraft plant on the installation of liberty motors. . The Oregon. Washington and Idaho Airplane company already has five Curtiss machines In Portland and will be in a position to do commercial fly ing shortly, it ts announced. Three of the planes are land machines and two water machines. With favorable weather conditions it is expected to have the field in readiness for flying operations by November 20. TACOMA COMPANY TO COME Sprouse-Reitz Factory Will Be Lo cated on East Side. Transfer of the manufacturing con cern of Sprouse-Reitz company from Puget sound to Portland was assured last week through the completion of a lease by the company on the entire two lower floors and basement of the building at the corner of East Third and Belmont streets, which will be used for the company's manufacturing plant. The property is owned by, the Haw thorne estate and the lease was con cluded through the Metzger- Parker Ferguson company. The Sprouse Reitz company manufactures notions and employs about 50 people, it is stated. A 10-year lease has been pro cured on the property. ' The firm has been located in Ta coma, but the lease on their quarters recently expired, and. being unable to obtain anything that was entirely satisfactory, officers of the company came to Portland to investigate what tnis city onered. So impressed with Portland were they that they decided to move the factory here, and the lease on the east side building re sulted.
