The sale was effected by Cornet Zelbig, tn conjunction with the Rosenbaum-Hauschulte Real Estate en behalf of the Croesus Realty of whloh former Mayor F. H.

Kreis- mann is president. The transaction Is especially note worthy aa marking the complete absorption of what was known as tha Rock Island tract, comprising 8100 front feet. and which was purchased by the Croe- 0i Healty Co. only six months ago. The tract has been resold ln lots to suit for high-class apartments, which are now in process of construction and which will form a chain of buildings extending from Union boulevard to Da Baiivlere avenue, the east and west boundaries of the property.

The ag gregato coat of these improvements will run well Into seven figures. Elnborate Apartments Planned. The apartments to be built by the Truxton Investment Co. will comprise five rooms, with seven-room efficiency, and will be perfect In. arrangement and ln modern appliances.

Sikking and Beckwlth of 809 Chest nut street, who started their news paper advertising at the end of last week, report that. In spite of unpleas- ant weather, their sales in Rivervlew Gardens amounted to more than 000. The rush seems to be on the front tracts overlooking the river, accounted for the fact that Riverview Gardens is th elast piece of river frontage available for residence pur poses. Besides the sales recorded, many men of prominence, especially mem bers of the Riverview Club, have spoken for sites along Riverview drive. Development wrok was hampered severely by the rain, but road building has proceeded far enough to show practically all of the platted part.

The tract Is in demand for home sites because it offers the exceptional residential combination of a' country home in the city. Residents will have all city conveniences, and at the same time ample space for comfortable liv ing and the best facilities for the easy-growing of vegetables. The tract is only 45 minutes from the heart of town by street car, and 20 minutes by automobile. It is understood that the city proposes to resur face north Broadway from Riverview drive down to the city proper with asphalt In the near future. Riverview Gardens embraces 255 acres, comprising the large and beau tlful Destrahan property, which was acquired recently by the present syn dicate at war prices.

There is, it is claimed, no home Bite in the St. Louis metropolitan district that compares with it. Prices of the property are low, and values are believed to be sure to Increase. 100 REALTY MEN OF ST.
