This company was organized in -1869 for the purpose of operating in real estate in Cook County, and has done more towards the development of outside property perhaps than any other organization or enterprise yet jnaugurated. ts membership comprises some of the most prominent capitalists of New York C Chicago. The principal eld of its labors thus far has been fe the Towns of Calumet, Lake, and Worth’_and on the line of the Chi- cago, Rock Island. & Pacific Railway. Among the many results of its past history 3f the twelve years since its organization have been Washington Ueights and Morgan Park, two of Chicaro’s must desirable sub- nrban villages. The lands owned by thecom- are the wiost desirable of any in Cook i Bounty being the highest, consequently easy of drainage, making them unsurpassed for zesidence property. The title to every foot of the company’s realty is perfect. At the present time the company is giving more at- jention to Morgan Park than any other of jtsproperty. This beautiful subdivision, to pefully appreciated, needs to be seen. Its nigh lands overlook the country for miles around, and the pure atmosphere, free from She smoke and other nuisances that are be- zoming more and more intolerable every year jo the city, is especially. inviting and Sug- restive of health. Butithas other advan- jages to offer equally attractive. Every house s supplied with pure and fresh water. Its dducational facilities are unsurpassed. In ad- Aition to the public schools therearea female rollege, a military acauemy, and a theological peminary, all of the hi:hest rank, and in-suc- ressful operation. There are also churches and church organizations, and good society; and, withal, it is of easy access from the city, while the railroad fares are very low. Just now the company are offering unusual and extraordinary inducements in this property: to parties seeking homes of their own in the way of cheap and desirable residence lots and in the offer of very liberal assistance to Buch as may desire to build and need assist- ance to do so. a 2 ‘The oftice of, the company in Chicago may pe found at No. 124 La Salle street, and Mr. George R. Clarke, who is authorized to sell the property, can be found at No. 161 La Salle street, where any and all further par- ing this subdivision may be Jearned. West Chicago Land Company. One of Chicago’s greatest real estate en- terprises wholly conceived and executed since the fire of 1871 is that of the West Chicago Land Company, west of Central Park. Atthe time of the fire the territory between Central Park and Austin was whol- jy unimproved. prairie, In 1872 the Chicago f& Northwestern Railway Company pur- thased 240 acres in the north half of Sec. 10, 69,13, and located thereon the largest rail- way shops in the country. The south half of Sec, 10 was purchased and subdivided by the West Chicago Land Company. There have becu 200 houses built on this property, two churches, a. large three-story brick school-house, and other improvements. Every building is occupied, and there is active demand for many more. The horse- earsrun to this property on Madison street andto Central Park on Lake street. Cen- tral Park and the boulevards are being im- proved and extended. The fair-zrounds and. frotting park adjoin this property, and, al things considered, this is regarded as the most accessible and promising property ont- side the city limits.. AL A. Farr _is the agent of the company and James B. Goodman its Secretary and Treasurer, and their office is at 55 Washington street. John 4. Ohlerkinz. The best test of probable success in any agent’s undertaking is: Has he succeeded in like business for himself ? ~ Mr. John H. Ohlerking, for years located at No. 150 Dearborn street, has during the last ten years exercised such energy, care, and good sense in managing, improving, renting, exchanging, buying, and selling real estate for himself, that he has not only, in spite of the panic, steadily accumulated a fortunein good income-producing real estate, put has attracted the ateention of many of our large property-owners, who have prevailed on Mr. Ohlerking to take entire charge of their Chicago real-estate interests. To a resident or non-resident owner of rea) estate here, who has had trouble in renting or disposing of Chicago real estate, either vacant or improved, with d@uything from cheap tenements up to a business block, we know of noone whocan moresatisfactorily re- lieve them of the entire burden than Mr. Ohl- erking. His long aud successful experience, broad acquaintance with capitalists and me- chanics, his financial responsibility, and the ,enthusiastic terms in which his clients speak of him, all justify those likely to need his services to make his acquaintance at once. 'T. B. Boyd. In mentioniny the foremost real-estate egencies of Chicago tha list would be incom- plete were. T. B. Boyd’s, “No. 179 Madison Btreet, omitted. Commenting business, and almost without capital and “an entire stran- ger; in 1869, he has succeeded in buliding up oue of the oldest as well as inost stable houses in his line in the city.. Adhering closely to the maxim that “‘ Honesty is the best pohicy,”? hehas become known asa fair and honest Dperator in real estate, and his career fully demonstrates that hard work and strict at- fention to business are sure’to yield a good income even in the dullest of times, for in those times when rich. firms were compelled to make assignments or were forced into bankruptcy Mr. Boyd pushed. his. business, Spending “thousands of dollars in ad- Vertising and Jooking up _ customers, and . the result was he made money when disaster and stagnation fell to the lot of the Jess sagacious. He is now teaping the harvest of his past labor; han- dlinr only the best residence and business property, and being thoroughly posted as re- ‘ds, walties,. purchasers can always find argains in his office, and be assured they aretrading with a straightforward real-estate lealer. a Holmes & Bro. Of the reliable business firms of Chicago None stand better in the public estimation, and deservedly so, than Messrs. Holmes & Bro., No. 6 Washington street, whose busi- ess lies in general brokerage in real estate, Joans, railroad bonds, etc., etc. In the real- estate branch of their business, while they are Jarge operators in their own behalf, they make a specialty of the agency depart- ment, and through the attention given it, in eonjunction with their knowledge of values, a very liberal clientage has been obtained. This firm is perhaps the heaviest purchaser of claims against failed banks, life-insurance s, life endowments, and properties of a like nature in the city, and their ex tended and varied experience, especially. in effecting loans, peculiarly fits them for con- ducting’ such a business, and guarantees patrons agaist loss by making judicious in- vestments. The office of the: firm is one of the finest in the city; complete in allits ap- Pointments as to data pertaining to the differ- Bat branches of the business. B. A. Ulrich. = B. A. Ulrich, whose name has been identi- Bed with Hyde Park real-estate interests Bince 1865, is still engaged in buying and sell- ing property in that favored Jocality. Lis Jong familiarity with the history and owner- ship of Wiyde Park property, covering an area of fifty square miles, now being rapidly developed at the South End, enables him to Make safe investments there for capitalists, manufacturers, and those who wish to pro- cure houses. Some of the first articles pub- lished in Chicago setting forth the desirabil- hy. of locating parks at Hyde Park were Written by Mr. Ulrich in 1805. Without neglecting Hyde Park property ir.

F. H. Watriss, No. 99 Washington street, has been estab- lished since 1871. His business is in general Teal estate, but has reference inostly to prop- erty south, Mr. Watriss has the entire man- 4zement of the new town of Irondale, just Adjoining South Chicago, and lying west of € Calumet Iron & Steel Company’s works. itis reached by the Western Indiana, Chica- & & Rock Island, and the Pittsburg & Fort Wayne Railways.’ The New York, Chicago St. Louis Railwayruns diagonally through the Property. ‘The Chicago & Atlantic Iail- will pass north:and south through its ventre. The ship-canal connecting the Cal- Dmet River with Pullman will also pass through this town, all going to show its de- Wrability as a manufacturing point.

Wells, No. 101 Washington street, came to Chicago immediately after the fire, and has been actively identified with enry L. HUD Henry L. Hill, No. 142 Dearborn street, who is well and favorably known. in real-es- tate circles, has been established. in business fifteen years, In addition to handling his own real. estate; he does a general _commis- sion or agency business, comprising improved and unimproved city and suburban. propeyy, and acre property as well. The placing of joans is also a branch of his business, Inthe fire of 1871 all his books, papers, and abstracts were burned. Nothing daunted, he procured a chair and table, and, taking olf his coat, set to work with heart and brain, and in the suc- ceeding two years made at the rate of $25,000 perannum, ‘This shows the quality of the mar, and it was this kind of pluck and en- ergy which made Chicago what it is today— the wonder of the world. D. W. Storrs. In calling attention to the real-estate house of D. W. Storrs, No. 9t Washington street, the public will recognize an old citizen who has been established since 1868, and during that period has built up a large agency busi- ness, including also full charge of valuable estates of non-residents, renting, collections, negotiation of loans. Mr, Sturrs is also an acknowledged authority in city and subur- van real-estate values, and his services as ex- pert are constantly indemand. He has large interests in our best suburbs, particularly real estate and Joan interests ever since. For a number of years he represented the Equi table Trust Company of New Loudon, Conn, This company having withdrawn from active business, has left its interests in this vicinity in his charge. His realty business is general real estate, taking properties acquired under -foreclosure a specialty, and now has on his books some rare bargains, both inside and outside the city, offering. some very choice residence property just ‘outside ot the limi on the ‘north and south. Wells is al: jargely interested in Liverside. and Uaw- thorne, the former being avery popular sub- urban town of close: proximity to the city, and which is especially desinible by reason of its health, excetlent educational advan- tages, and stable improvements. Mr. W. be- lieves that this suburb. must come into imme- diate and valuable notice. E. W. Hyman Jr. & Co. The reputation of the real estate and loan firm of I W. Hyman Jr. & Cv., doing busi- ness at No. 193 Dearborn street, is of the highest standing. The business conducted by the firm isa general: agency for the pur- chase and sale of real estate, the negotiation of loans, and the management and care of We can only fin stract- property. Numbered among its clients are some of the heaviest capitalists interested in Chicago realty. In the loaning branch of the business, which is of equal magnitude with the realty business, a specialty is made of placing money in large sums. ‘The busi- ness connection of the firm with Eastern moneyed men is quite extensive. Since the establishment of the house, in 1872 their business has steadily increased. The facilities of the tirm are unexcelled, and of the indi- vidual members it is only necessary.to say they are gentlemen well and favorably known in this community, more particularly in real estate circles. Englewood, and Hyde Park, and Clyde, and his house was one of the first to inaugurate the popula: monthly-payment plan for the sale of houses and lots._ ‘fhe experience and honorable dealing of Mr. Storrs has long since established the reputation of this house, The Chicago Real-Estate Exchange is fully organized under the following exccl- lent management: W. K. Nixon, the well- known real-estate dealer, as its President; Messrs. Chandler & Co.,a firm of leading mortgage bankers, as its Treasurer and ‘Trus- tees; and William A. Butters, the veteran veyances and of Chi painstaking is, real-estate lawyer.

BOOT AND SHOE TRADE. C, NM. Ekenderson & Co. The boot and shoe trade is a very large factor in the trade of Chicago. The leading house in this line, C. M.

Among the monuments to his ability, enterprise, and confidence re- posed in him are the Portland Block and the Sears Building, not to men- tion others, besides miuny handsome _resi- dences in the North and West Divisions, which he built for the owners since the fire. Mr. Giddings, his partner, is also a gentleman of high business standing. The present firm was formed. two years ago, and gives its attention mostly. to buying, selling, and the care and manazement of central business property. Renting and negotiating loans also form a part of the business, as well as the management of estates for non- residents, for all of ~vhich they have a nu- merous clientage. John W. Marsh. Mr. John W. Marsh, No. street, is the head of a well-established real- estate and loan agency, which he began in 1871, . immediately after ‘the fire.” While his agency is devoted largely to the purchase and sale of real estate, the leading branch of his business is the placing of loans on realty, collecting the interest, ete.—a depart- ment that has a very large and constantly in- creasing clientage. Aside from the above lines, ie is also agent for several large build- ings in the city, among them the Bacheldor Building, southeast commer of Clark and Randolph streets, collecting the rents, pay- ing taxes, and giving such other attention as falls within the province of such agencies. His office is supplied with all the aids, such as maps, atlases, and data-records. for the intelligent conduct of his business. Being a lawyer by profession, he is geod authority on titles, and is largely consulted ‘theggon by his real-estate clients. J.B, Keeney. J. F. Keeney—the founder of the success- ful Towns of Wa-Keeney, Kas., and of South Evanston—has laid out the beautiful Village of Garfield, located on the Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad. This place is only three- quarters of a mile west of Humboldt, Park, five and one-fourth miles from Madison street depot; fare four and one-half cents. This is one of the most convenient locations out of Chicago for clerks and those to whom saving expense is-an object. Many have already leit orders for houses. When fur- nished with laie water from the city, as this place adjoins the city on the western limits, residents will have all the advantages ot lake ‘water and quick and cheap transit, quicker'-and cheaper than street-cars, and with the additional advantage of being free froin city taxation.
