Real Estate Sales Sales of realâ€"estate, as reported by the Escrow department of the Chicago ‘Title and Trist company, continue to show substantial gains. ‘This is particularly true to sales inâ€" volving an all cash consideration. At no time in sany of the years gince 1933, the low point of the depresâ€" sion, has the number of these cash sales failed to show a substantial increase . over the â€" corresponding month in any previous year. > > _ Increase for the 1934 period over that of 1933, 17 per cent; 1985 over 1984, 55 per cent; 1986 over 1985, 61 per cent; 1987 over 1937, 74 per cent. Show Substantial y Gains Over Past Year actual sales closed % the Escrow department during dirst twenty weeks of each year since 1983 has been as folows: THURSDAY, JUNE 3, 1987 Mr. Joseph Shelly, manager of the Escrow department of Chicago Title and Trust company, calls attention to the fact that the percentage of incréase has grown progressively each year for the period covered and wherean« the incremse for the first per cent greater> than the «corre» sponding period for 1933, the inâ€" crease for the 1937 period over the year previous was 74 per cent. "The number of these real estate sales passing through the Escrow department," stated Mr. Shelly, "is a pretty fair indication of mf esâ€" tate activity. In fact it shows to a greater degree the type of transacâ€" tions which are taking place than do the figures of the number of transfers _ reported by official sources. Even during the low point of the depression the number of real estate transfers recorded was subâ€" stantial but most of these were transfers to avoid foreclogure and deficiency judgments and this disâ€" tinction could not be made to show the real purpose." _ * Mr. Shelly also calls attention to the relatively high percentage of sales taking place for an all cash consideration and to the tremendous increase registered each year since 19838. For the first twenty weeks of 1934 ‘all cash sales showed an increase of 137 per cent over .the year previous. 1985 showed an inâ€" crease of 82 per cent over 1934, 1936 103 per cent <over 1985, and 1937 85 per cent over 1986. "It is quite understandable," said Mr. Shelly, "that during the deâ€" pression people were afraid of mortgaging their property. What is surprisingâ€" to us, however, is that the percentage of cash sales at the present fint;h::l so large.. It is quite apparent a ew numâ€" ber of people have considerable amounts of cash laid by and that they are investing them in real esâ€" ‘‘The dollar volume of cash sales passing through the Escrow departâ€" ment showed tremendous yearly inâ€" creases up to and including 1936. The first twenty weeks of 1984 showed 110 per cent increase over 1933. ‘The 1935 increase was 145 per_ cent over 1984 and the 1986 inâ€" credke over the year previous wis 171 per cent. ‘The first twenty week period of the current year showed a 20 per cent rise over 1936. "The nominal increase in the dolâ€" lar volume of cash sales when comâ€" pared to the large increase in the number of cash sales," said Mr. Shelly, "indicates that the sales are now takingâ€" place in the smaller properties." During the first period of 1935 the average amount of cash sales was $11,759. In 1936 this inâ€" creased to $15,764. During the corâ€" responding period of 1937 the averâ€" age unit of cash sales dropped to $10,205. This would seem to indiâ€" cate that the realization that real estate is a good investment under present conditions has spread to persons in the lower income brackâ€" Clean and Block Your Panama Hat the latest way t 1 ed is the cently lâ€"-n-"_- The Ladies and Gents G HATS Cleaned and Blocked Imitation PANAMAS _.____...

A total of well over 1000 boys and girls .took. part in the program, about 700 of them as actual competiâ€" tors in the events. Teams . from eight schools were entered, Lake Forest, Ravinia, Elm Place, West ‘Ridge, Lincoln, St. James, Braeside, and Oak Terrace. As in the past years, no school championship was determined, ‘but individual chamâ€" pionships were recognized. Compeâ€" tition between ‘individuals of the various â€" schools is ‘stressed rather than interâ€"school competition. Representatives from the Highâ€" land Park Rotary club, the various grade school athletic directors, and members of the High» school staff assisted in running off the events of the meete. ‘The Rotary club donâ€" ated ribbons to the first three place winners in all events.
