Mullaly’s Suggestions
This has been our busiest week in the way of inquiries and it is gratifying
to say that the inquiries are about equally devided between home people
and strangers. Several nice deals have been closed the transfers of which
will appear later. Our confidence in the situation increases daily and we re-
peat now what we have said so often that those desiring to purchase some-
thing good close in will have to act promptly or pay higher prices.
The prospects for this street grow brighter daily. The big Improvements
Will appear on this street. The values there considering the immense move-
ment are extremely low particularly compared with cities of lesser size.
We can offer:

or permanent Investment at $125 per foot.
Twenty-eight feet improved property rented for $166 per month
located in the block opposite the new hotel site running back
to College street at 11000 per foot.

Real Estate
It Is now an accepted proposition that San Antonio will be one of the
great cities of the South and her advantages as an Investment field are
now recognized everywhere. The spirit of development has taken hold
of the community and big things are under way which will induce other
developments all calculated to make for higher values in real estate.
The present is a history making epoch in San Antonio and a casual
glance over the situation will convince even the careless observer of
conditions that the city has only begun to grow. Local values are pro-
portionately lower today than at any time in the past. The investor
who now buys what he is able to handle is absolutely certain to realize

HOUSTON STREET. .row. 1 1
This thoroughfare is the point of radiation of the business district. It
is the artery of communication for the greatest number of people in San
Antonio. City values are based on this condition. The logic of the situ-
ation is that Houston street property must reach a figure such as similar
properties have reached in the other leading cities of Texas and com-
pared with which Houston street values are now comparatively low.
Write your friends in Houston Dallas Fort Worth and Austin and ask
them what is the highest priced property per front toot on the leading
streets of those cities J

tion with wonderful possibilities. The street widening and the fact that
both the Fourth ward and the West Side largely contribute to this point
