. Llil'l lluch 2, -19'.28 C. C. Kapschull Paved Wa:v to Pros/lerit:v in Deerfield. He Says Charles C. Kapschull, of the firm of Kapschuii-Davis Co., Inc., general contractors, with . offices i~;~ the Chamber of Commerce building in Chicago and in Deerfield, and who, since last September, has conducted a general real estate business in the latter. place, was attracted to Deerfield, he said, as a result of his appreciation of the future outlook for the Village, gained at the time he . was engaged in paving so many of its streets. His firm has done ~ per cent of the Deerfield paving. Also contracts in Highland Park, Winnetka, and elsewhere have been completed. Mr. Kapschull's firm had the contract for laying the wide pavement up Linden avenue, from North avenue to Scott avenue, in .Hubbard Woods, and also the intersecting streets in this section, a tew years ago. A Good Omea He recalls that at that time, Huhbard Woods had not grown to anywhere near its present importance and value, and here, as elsewhere, it has been a notable fact, . Mr. Kapschull points out, the installation of these orogressive improvements was followed by the rise and development of the community in general. · This, he says, he felt certain would be the base in Deerfield. and last fall, following the completion of much of his contracting work there. he decided to add the real estate business to his endeavors. -Deerfield is also his home. Community Ia AttractiYe Like the Hubbard Woods section growth and development, following its street improvement campaign, Mr. Kapschull anticipates a similar result in Deerfield, which he says is already being partially realized. Many people in recent months have been attracted to this community to make their future homes. and many others are coming, Mr. Kapschull says. HEaiT JURI...
