A S every day brings nearer the
L\ period of buildingconstruc-
'^ ^ tion which is uppermost in
the minds of several hundred
thousand rent-payers, they feel
more and more keenly the discom¬
forts of old and unimproved build¬
ings.

Prior to present abnormal con¬
ditions these buildings were in
most cases operated at such a
small margin of profit that they
were a drug on the market. While
modernized dweUings were avail¬
able tenants refused to live in
unimproved homes.

TJie return to such conditions
win be rapid, unices owners of this
class of property take their cue
from several of their number far-
seeing enough to anticipate this
change in conditions. These
shrewd owners are improving
their old dwelling places so that
they can compete with the new
ones.





Electric service is the first im¬
provement installed. Nothing else
can add like comfort to the home.
Without it families are deprived
of such necessities as electric irons,
fans, cooking devices and vacuum
cleaners.

Apartment halls are vastly im¬
proved by electric service. Uni¬
form light, convenience of control,
the elimination of bell-ringing and
door > opening batteries and the
substitution therefor ofsmall trans¬
formers operated from the lighting
circuit are some of its advantages.
The whole tone of the building
is improved.

A postal card or telephone re¬
quest (Stuyvesant 4980) will
bring our representative to you.
He will tell you how inexpensively
and easily your property can be
electrified. And if the investment
involves a greater immediate ex¬
penditure than is convenient for
you to make just now, we may
perhaps be able to arrange terms,
