Jaspe linoleum with an inlaid border
of small tiled blaok and white lino-

scarlet ana white linen hangings and

In Detroit next June for their annual

striking instance of the way in which

bartered for an assortment. Or sandy
trinkets but the record in cash real
estate transactions moat undoubtedly
go to the plot of ground m this city
which was once bought for one large
copper seat- v.
The1 purchaser was Mary Watson
Hudaon a eitiaen of Detroit who ob-
tained a plot of ground la accordance
with an act Of eongreas which for a
cash consideration granted every res-
ident a reel estate holding followtot
the disastrous fire of 1805 In which
the thriving .little dty waa virtually
destroyed.

turn to this dty In the year 1034

haps an airplane overhead might be
quite too much for her but despite
these wonders whe would nave one
remaining gasn of astonishment for
the moment when she first glimpsed
the structure which now towers above
every other building in Detroit.
For It is upon the same site which
she obtained for a cent that Chare haa
been built the SI4.000.000 Book-Cad

world and with the largest number of
rooms ot any botel out side ot new
