Moses & Sons, cordially invite your: inspection of this model high-class residence A Few Facts Worth Knowing These homes are Jlocated in Massachusetts Avenue Heights, a section that every one concedes to be the most desirable suburb for homes of the better class. The houses themselves, regard- less of location, surpass any others offered on the market today. This applies to the quality of construc- tion, the convenience of arrange- ment, their attractiveness, etc. All property in Massachusetts Avenue Heights has increased and is constantly increasing in value by reason of its high elevation, its proximity and accessibility to the downtown section, its restrictions, eliminating the erection of cheaper class homes; the beautiful lay- out of its streets, abundance of shade trees, its magnificent ap- proach from the city and the dis- tinction of being adjacent to sev- eral large government reservations, private estates and the Episcopal Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul, which represents already before completion an investment of sev- eral million dollars. There are many other features of this sub- division, such as commanding views of the city from most any point and accessibility to the finest schools of Washington.
