:Sale to Take Place on Property;
Each Parcel to Go to Highest
Bidder Without Reservations.
-The most interesting development
i'f the past week in real estate clr-c-ies
was tho anniouncement of an
Auction balo of L'OO homesitcs in
I.urelhurst addition. The sale is
.scheduled to take place on the prop
erty Saturday, December 11. and of
ficial of the Laurtlhurst company
announce that each parcel offered
will be sold to Hhe hlgheHt bidder
Without resservatlons.
Marketing of improved residence Bites
by auction comen is . -unique experl
riient in Portland, though this method
has been employed with marked success
in other uections of the country where
estates and holding corporations have
been willing tp assume the risk of sacri
fice in order to terminate their connec
tion with properties. The sale has been
entrusted to Barry & Austtn, a Chicago
firm with branch offices In the Cham
ber of Commerce building.
This sale will be of particular, interest
because of the character of tbe property
involved. Laurelhurst Is One of the
most beautifully situated and uniformly
developed residential sections of Tort
land. Hundreds of thousands of dol
lars have been spent In developing ana
beautifying the property and it compares
favorably with any residential district
In any city in the United Slates.
WAS STOCK EA5CH
Laurelhurst was i platted in 1911' by
I"ul C. Murphy, vice president and gen
eral manager of the Laurelhurst com
pany Th- traut consists of 460 acres
bounded by llalsey, East Stark. Thirty
aeond and Forty-third streets. The prop
erty was formerly known as Hazelfern
Farm, a priae stock ranch belonging
to William S. Ladd.j
I The land was slightly rolling and an
area of 40 acres was timbered with giant
fir trees. Thirty-one acres of the tlm
.bered portion was sold to the city for
park purposes and is richer in vegeta
tion than any other park in Portland.
The balance of the addition was laid out
in 2700 homesites ranging in size from
BOxlOO feet upward and facing on wlnd-
ing avenues, carefully planned to take
advantage of the topography of the
-tract.
-' More than 700 houses have been built
in Laurelhurst. and among them are
Vnany of the most beautiful residences
-1rr the city. Building restrictions In force
have, tended to etablize values and no
relaxing" of these restrictions will result
from Hie method of marketing adopted
by the owners. The district is not ex
clusively one of expensive homes and
Within its boundaries are numerous at
tractive bungalows built by owners of
moderate means. ;
i Paul C. Murphy, vice president and
'general manager of the Laurelhurst
company, is a recognized authority on
municipal and national housing prob
lems. In an interview with The Journal
bo stated that the ayction sale of Laurel
liurst property has been undertaken to
counteract the stagnation in home con
struction in the city.
"Conservative estimates show that
Vorlland is in need of between 2000 -and
3000 new homes," saldMurphy, "and un
less building activity is resumed imme
diately rents will mount to excessive
heights With resulting hardship to peo
ple of moderate means. The Laurel-
riurst company is desirous ot meemiK
every legitimate need of the public and
offers this opportunity as a. special
privilege to people with home-building
ambitions to secure some of the finest
locations in the city at one-third to one
lialf the normal price.
"The high cost of - building materials
has been the chief obstacle to home con
struction, both during the war and dur
ing the post war period," Murphy stated.
, "Wo seriously believe that there should
be important- reductions all ' along the
line of commodities entering. Into the
building of homes. In fact th, federal
Kovernmtnt has at various .times held
out through Its representatives the prob
abilities of reductions as the result of
the conclusion of the war. The entire
country has been disappointed in the
fact that instead of material reductions,
the buirding of homes today in reality
costs as much, if hot more, in some re
apects than for the past six years.
; "Impelled by the conviction that this
is a critical time in the city's history,
so far as home: construction is con
cerned, the company has .decided to
place on the market 200 choice home
cites to be sold by auction,, through
Barry & Austin, national experts in this
branch of handling residential property.
EVERT PARCEL OFFERED
i "The auction will bo held on the elev
enth day of December, 1920, at 1 p. m.,
and every parcel of property listed tJ be
disposed of during this sale will be
placed on the "auction block without res
ervation or any opportunity to be bid on
by others than legitimate buyers and
Investors at the highest prices offered
for the individual parcels.
"It is granted by anyone familiar with
this method of selling that the odds are
decidedly irt favor of the buyers. While
this may mean an actual sacrifice on
the part of the Laurelhurst organization
the company feels that the distribution
of 200 additional homesites In this addi-
tion to the citizens of Portland wUl give
added incentive to the building market
and add several thousand people to the
population of this prosperous district.
We feel , it is plainly the duty of large
owners of residential property to dis
pose of their holdings at this time at
euch prices that the high cost of con
struction will be absorbed through the
reduced prices on homesites. It is
' largely this consideration which has
lead the Laurelhurst company to in
augurate this proposed unique effort."
STRADIVARA PLANT
ENLARGEMENT WILL
Construction of the east wing -of
Hahnemann hospital at East Second
and' Hassalo stlets, at a cost of
$200,000, will be undertaken as soon
as funds are available, according to
announcement of the board of trus
tees of the institution. Subscriptions
amounting to $65,000 already have
been received and a drive to raise
the balance of the required sum is
being arranged for by A. B. Wastell,
secretary of the board.

Portland Company Has More Than
100 Skilled Hands at Work
in the East Side Factory.
Plans now in preparation call for
enlargement of the Stradivara Pho
nograph company's plant at East
Thirty-third and Broadway and for
additions to the equipment and
working force which will increase
the capacity output of the concern
from 50 to 100 j phonographs per
eight-hour day.
. The Stradivara Phonograph company
recently was organized with a capitali
zation of $5,000,000 and acquired the
physical assets of i the Pacific Phono
graph company, which formerly manu
factured the Stradiyara instruments. All
officers and directors of the company
are local men, F. A. Douty being presi
dent, F. N. Clark, vice president ; S. L.
Eddy, treasurer; J.! T. Thompson, sec
retary and managec, and Ira F. Powers
member of the board of directors.
100 SKILLED HADS
Over 100 highly skilled mechanics are
employed at the factory and nine expe
rienced phonograph men are on the road
for the company establishing new agen
cies. General offices of the company
are located in the ; Blake-McFall build
ing, where samples: of the seven models
of the Stradivara instrument are on dis
play. A number of new models are being
designed for the 1921. season, according
to Manager Thompson.
Thet Blumauer-Frank Dm? company
has contracted for the sail of the
Stradivara phonographs in Oregon,
Washington and Idaho. A branch house
has been established at San Francisco to
handle sales in California, Nevada and
Arizona and the territory east of the
Mississippi river is taken care of by a
branch factory with a capacity output
of 75 instruments dally, at Coshocton,
Ohio.
Arrangements are being made with a
local exporting company to introduce the
Stradivara phonograph into the Orient
and special models will be manufactured
to suit the trade in New Zealand, Aus
tralia. China, Japan, Borneo and the
Philippines.
BIO FUTURE SEEN
: Investigations made by agents of the
Stradivara company promise early de
velopment of a thriving trana-Paciflo
trade. j
The particular feature which differen
tiates the Stradivara from other phono
graphs,, according jto Thompson, is its
patented "tone chamber, manufactured
from edge-grain spruce. For centuries
spruce has been a favorite wood with
violin makers and the spruce of Oregon
and Washington forests, when properly
selected and manufactured, produces a
rich, mellow tone with not the faintest
semblance of metallic sound.

P. N. Practical Front Corsets
A WORD ABOUT THEM There are many reasons why P. N. PRACTICAL
FRONT CORSETS are different-from other corsets that lace in the front; but
there is one outstanding feature. It is the location of the front clasp coming
directly in the center of the body. It puts the front , closing of the corset
exactly where it should be; directly in the front,. in the same position that it
is found "In back lace corsets. At a glance you appreciate this feature. No
longer will you have to suffer the loss of not being able , to wear front lace
corsets because you can't stand the pressure of the front casp under the bust.
A cleverly arranged inner elastic vest combined with the feature of, the clasp
in the center will open for you a new era in your corset wearing. P. N.
PRACTICAL FRONT CORSETS will give you that combination of comfort
plus style that you have always wanted and never found. We carry (! fTfT
