', Downers Grove has received an impetus the past few years from the opening up of subdivisions and -" improving the same, thus bringing . desirable property into the market. The real estate firm of E. H. Prince Co. have caused the property on the north side of the railroad to "blossom as the rose," and have . been so instrumental in the ad- ' vancenient of this section of the village that it is now one of the ' most desirable places to build a residence and home. They have expended large sums of money in excavating and fixing up the lake on their sub-division and which has materially added to its value and beauty. The natural advanâ€" tages are such as to make this 10- cality especially attractive, uniting its icturesque features with its he thful atmosphere and drainage outlet, which will be of untold benefit in the near future. Fine houses and cottages, miles of side- walks and water mains, hundreds of beautiful shade trees. good broad streets and avenues, plentv of pure fresh air makes Prince's addi- J. n.
