FRANKEN BROS. | DEERFIELD, ILL. Glencoe Man Heads Paul Schroeder Co., Evanston Offices L. C.

Mr. Gregory was, for some years, manager of the Evanston office oi Paul Schroeder and company, and, therefore, is very familiar with values and con- ditions in this particular field. His report of sales since the opening of his office, include the southwest corner of Harrison street and Lawn- dale avenue to John A. Pearson and Axel P. Sax, who will erect a six room brick veneer house thereon; Ralph L. Hardman has purchased from Arthur W.

Univ. 8507 BLEND REALTY -- ART Wilmette Office with Beautiful Heinsen and Kroll Walls Adorned Photography Heinsen and Kroll of 421 Fourth street, Wilmette, who have the nucleus of what promises to become an un- usually attractive collection of photo- graphs with which they are adorning the walls of their real estate office, have just added a rare piece of art in the way of photography--a large photograph of the new Chicago Tribune Tower building on Michigan avenue. This photograph is 15 inches wide by 29 inches in length and is an aeroplane view. Arthur E. Clason, of the aereal department of the Kaufmann and Fabry company of Chicago, made the exposure from which the picture was produced. In order to obtain the picture, the pilot of the aeroplane in which Clason and his special camera were circling about seeking the most advantageous point for exposure, swooped down in Michigan avenue to about the eleventh story of the building and then, very dexterously, shot up and out of the veritable pocket into which he had dared enter. But Clason, at the critical moment, had snapped his lense, the result being one of the finest exposures, it is said, that was ever made of Chicago's many sky-scrapers. It is a photograph which requires none of the foregoing explanation to attract even the novice in photography. To the more experi- enced in the art, it is a piece of work which is at once admired. A companion piece to the Tribune Tower photo and which has been framed, with outside dimensions of 24 by 63 inches, is a panoramic view of the Michigan avenue sky line, with the Allerton club on the extreme north and extending some distance below the new Stevens hotel building on the south. In the immediate foreground of this photograph, is shown the outer- rive. Drapery Manufacturer Buys Home in Wilmette William M. St. Clair, of Chicago, through Miss C. J. Hoey, of the North Shore Real Estate company, 418 Linden avenue, Wilmette, has pur- chased the J. Alfred Johnson home there at 935 Oakwood avenue. He will take possession June 1.

He enjoys a wide acquaint- ance, both in a business and social way, along the north shore, from Ev- anston to Lake Forest, throughout which area he has supplied shades and drapes for many of the most beautiful homes.
