Discussing "Home Sites and Hiim'i Aa Suitable Christmas Presorts," Fred T. Wood states: "Imagine the joy of a young wife finding on tho Christmas tree this year a title to a home of her very own in beautiful Estudillo Estates." This, domestic scene will be enacted In three households this Christmas, according to the rec-oi ds of the Fred T. Wood which show three sales of homes, each one In tended as the holiday gift to the family. "Several others will spend their Vuletlde season in new homes in this beautiful orchard tract, which is among the most active properties in San Leandro, with a nun) 'ber of residences now ncaring completion and some practically ready for occupancy. MnnT' sales hava been made during the past month, both of lots and homes, and Interest in Estudillo Estates is increasing so rapidly that by next summer we expect every lot will be sold.

"Thi are a number of reasons for the popularity of Estudillo. Ardmore, Durant, Manor and the other San Leandro tracts operated by this company. They are directly in tho line of the Eastbay residential trend: they are all restricted, with wide and beautifully rm.de streets; the homes already erected are attractive: schools, churches and transportation are easily accessible, and best of all they are In the vicinity of what will be tho greatest industrial de velopment in the history of tha Eastbay region. Not only the Sel-berling and Chrysler-Dodge plants, which are assured, but many other big firms are contemplating establishing plants in this district. "This Industrial activity enhance the value of the properties, as statistics prove that eight hundred out of every thousand workers in any brat, of Industry make their residence within a mile ot their work.

Residential property, therefore, will soon be at a premium In San Leandro and values must Increase very rapidly from now on.1' Tha building permits for the week ending Wednesday.
