Building Department Installed. The Realty Syndicate Is meeting with great success in.a sale of scattering Piedmont lots. In 1903 Piedmont 'sold off in various tracts by 'the Syndicate, at which time two or three hundred lots-were, lost track of in var.lous and, after a rush that followed; these -Jots found to be In possession of the Syndicate.

With other matters to command its. nothing was done in an effort to dispose of -them until about thirty days ago, when the Syndicate placed prices upon that have caused somewhat of a sensation in Real Estate Market. "Any one who has ah idea that the real estate market in Oakland is dull would do well to visit our ofiices and look over the records of our sales," said Nat Crossley, manager of the Real Estate Department of The Realty- Syndicate. have been selling these Piedmont lots at the rate of two or three a day" ever since the prices, and at the present time see no indications of a letup; in we are getting more inquiries this week tlran ever, and our' records show that during the last 30 days we have' sold approximately $50,000.00 worth of. this property.

These figures include several houses which the -lot purchasers have, contracted for through our HOme Building Department." Mr. Crossley explained that the Home Building Department of The Realty Syndicate had arranged matters that for approximately $1,000 and $50 per month a- lot could be purchased in Piedmont, and a' $3,500 house erected upon it whicji would be built In accordance with' the Idea's the purchaser, lie stated that the Building Department would ultimately be a very important factor in the affairs of The Realty Syndicate, and that at the present time they wero doing particularly fine work on exceedingly easy in order to set about 100 contracts for houses which can be immediately erected and shown as examples of the Syndicate's workmanship in the future. "Our Bnildins Department will undoubtedly great success," continued "because we are it upon absolutely newlines. Heretofore installment building concerns have almost invariably figured upon the cheapest possible with the result that after a period of. four or five years their houses began to go to pieces.

This fact did not seem, to bother them, for they could easily start operations in another neighborhood under a different name and do the same thing over again. Realty Syndicate, however, in an entirely different position, and has a great deal at stake; in fact, we that in 13 or 20 years we will be doing enormous amount of home building, and must consequently careful in all of our dealings at all times. Contractors who have seen our houses claim that we are going to the extreme in this regard and that many economies could be practiced which would bring us greater profits. We differ from. them, however.

In this regard, as we figure that one satisfied homo builder will bring- us an average of twoi other builders, and out of the three we will make more profit than any unscrupulous contractor could possibly by carrying out all of his shrewdly hidden economics." A great many people are taklnsr advantage of this building department and several Uouses have already been, completed, although the department has been organized only a few months.
