THE  IMPROVED
ANNUAL NUMBER

OF THE

Record & Guide
uarterly

For 1907





As a guide to present values and
future possibilities in real estate it is
as necessary as the stock ticker to
a broker.

It contains all the records relat¬
ing to real estate and building in
the borough of Manhattan for the
year.

READ CAREFULLY

This number will contain the improved
order of arranging records. By combining
all records relating to any given property
(conveyances, mortgages, leases, alterations,
projected buildings or wills filed), a much
clearer idea may be obtained of their relation
to each other. The order followed is first
GEOGRAPHICAL, and then CHRONO¬
LOGICAL. Thus a recorded lease may pre¬
cede a conveyance which may be followed by
a mortgage, and that in turn by a subsequent
conveyance, a building loan and plans filed.
The various records may readily be deter¬
mined at a glance by their typographical dif¬
ferences, thus:
