Maxwell company, wholesale wall paper, Chicago, has brought 600 acreS in Bull Valley, his estate comprising the land known as the Wille farm, Schneider farm and part of the Sheron farm. Mr. Maxwell is now erecting a large colonial residence on his property on the Country club road, about four miles southeast of Woodstock. Willard Walker of 536 Lake Shore Drive, is the architect of the 16-room house,, which will include six baths, four large porches and a three-car attache ed garage. Exterior walls will be of Wisconsin Laiinon stone, brick, and wood shingles. The entire building will have an all-year air conditioning system and ^completely electrical kitchen T The large estate will haye a concrete swimming pool, a lake, tennis courts, a, guest house, caretaker's cottage and other buildings. A rustic fence, in imitation of the old rail fence, has, also, been built along the property on the Country club road. The Chicago home of Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell is at 2130 Lincoln Park West. This is only one of the many farms being purchased in 5T?Henry county by Chicago business-, arid professional men, who are staging a back to the farm migration such as real estate men have not seen in many years. Buy Best Farms Securing some of the best farm land in the county art what has been considered ih previous years "give away" prices, hanging from $05 to $100 an acre, the shrewd business men of Chicago know an outstanding bargain when they see it as well as a safe investment where their money may be safe from .the feared inflation and other Npw Deal financial jinks. A new farpi plat book for McHenry county has just been, published by the Stacy Map publishers of Rockford and will, no doubt, contain many of the farms under their new ownership. Sales of farms during the last year are nearly 50 per cent greater than in the previous year, while construction activity throughout the country during July shewed a decided increase in both number of building permits and in: estimated cost as compared with the same month last year, according to the United States department of labor.
