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: 95ih st, No 307 East, east store, &c, Ludius & Romm Realty Co to David Weiss; 4 years and 22 days, from .A.pril S, 1907.
