BUILT ROWS OF FLATS
Hoarders and the Stork Not Wel
come in Exclusive
Apartments.
London, Sept. 28. England Just
now is much interested In a brick
layer who has accumulated a fortune
t)f ?5, 000, 000 through American
methods. The rise of Edward Yates
from a day laborer to a man of
wealth in 25 years is paralleled in
America, but it is unique here.
Not only has Yates attained finan
cial ldependence by borrowing Yan
kee ideas, but he Is still employing
American methods of increasing his
holdings. His long rows of flats are
for those only who exclude roomers
and boarders and the stork Is not
wanted about his premises. His
rent roll Is about a half million dol
Iras a year, so It Is seen that these
American ideas have won financially
In London.
Like many of the stories London
ers have read about American boys
coming down from the hills of New
England to make a fortune In New
York, so did Yates come from the
rural districts as a young man. His
flrst opportunity came when he saw
an advertisement for a lease on some
ground. The neighborhood was
growing and Yates figured that many
small houses, rather than several
large ones would pay.
Worked With Men.
His rise began with the moment
that he found a man with capital
who was willing to invest in the
scheme. Yates tore down the old
buildings and built better but small
er. He worked with the men, and
the most rigid economy was ob
served. Then he showed somo American
traits. Ho boasted that the men ho
employed laid 1,300 bricks a day,
while thoso employed on some pub
lic work across the street placed but
250. Yates then secured the remov
al of a saloon nearby and his fortune
began.
He and his partner went different
ways, but Mr. Yate3 was, at all
events, the path of prosperity. Ho
was shrewd In choosing sites, and
his houses let as fast as they wero
completed.
In the neighborhood of Larcom
street alone ho erected 200 houses.
Ho erected others in Rodney road,
Brook street and Dragon road and ho
was ever maturing fresh schemes.
As ho roso higher In substance, so
did the houses In character, and
rental. On somo of his ground ho
mado a rule that tho tenants should
not receive lodgers, his idea being to
create a select neighborhood.
700 Houses on One Tract.
This rule was adopted at Waverly
Park, near Nunhead. Tho St.
George's Vestry, of which ho was a
membor, had bought land hero for a
"workhouse. Local changes rend
ered this unnecessary and tho vestry
was glad to part with tho site to Mr.
Yates, who built upwards of 700
.J houses for middle-class residents up
Voli it.
Again thero was tho American
plan of occasionally buying sites and
selling them at a largo profit, for ho
had a knack of knowing whero land
was appreciated. One deal of this
sort on which ho made n hugo profit
wns on tho slto whero Olympla now
stands.
Ho scorned, however, to havo Httlo
Interest in life after ho gave up build
ing two yenrs ago, by which tiino he
had comploted 2,000 houses, giving
him a rent roll of over $500,000
yearly.
Ho lived frugally and In nppear
anco would havo been takon for a
small tradesman. Nearly half of his
Immonso fortuno falls to his only
son, who lives near Norwood, but
his flvo daughtors all benefit handsomely.

Preferred Stock Canned Goods

That is the secret of their exquisite Flavor. Preferred Stock Pineapple,
for instance, is grown, ripened and canned all under the sunny skies
of Hawaii. Pineapples brought to this country and then canned must be
picked before fully ripe or they won't keep and the flavor is
flat. Hawaiian Pineapple is the best grown. Every morning, the
pnes ripened to their spicy best" are gathered, taken into the can
nery, close at hand, peeled and cored by special cutters operated by
bright, tidy Hawaiian girls. All the tough, fibrous center is re
moved, and the sun-gold slices from the best part of the pineapple
are then packed into Preferred Stock cans.
Try PREFERRED STOCK Pineapple a royal dessert ready ft serve
