WHY DO VALUES RISE WHERE WARDMAN BUILDS? \BOUT TEN YEARS AGO a street car came along every A half hour on Connecticut Avenue. Hotel was three miles north of most traffic. Some fine old homes lay to the north; the rest was open country. After the Hotel, Wardman built 2700-2726-2850 Connecticut Ave- nue, followed by 2701 and 2649. Then came Cathedral Man- sions and Wardman Park Annex. Wardman Park People moved out to this delightful section and he built the original English Village adjoining St. Alban’s Cathe- dral. Here he sold. homes for $15,000 a few years ago which have since brought $18,500. Why do values rise where Wardman builds? Isn’t much the right location? A natural artery for constantly increasing traffic, that and more and more of the right kind of people—make value in Real Estate. Just west of Connecticut Avenue, the great natural traffic way, is Twenty-eighth Street Northwest (reached from Cathedral Avenue, or from Cortland Place at the Klingle Bridge). Here is Woodley Park, adjoining our famous English Village. It is twelve minutes from downe town—a strictly limited area, where we will build a home for you according to your own ideas and finance it up to 80% of its cost. Here, too, are homes ready to live in, from $16,500 to $47,500 (excellent terms can be made to de- sirable purchasers).
