CLUB SPEAKER SEES BRIGHT TRADEFUTURE Building New Residences Cited by Chairman of Real Estate Week. Continued improvement in business conditions throughout the country and the world is the prospect before business men today, Norman Metzger, civic affairs committee chairman, Indianapolis Real Estate Board and Indianapolis Real Estate Week program chairman, told Service Club members today. Mr. Metzger explained the significance of Real Estate Week. He said: “We are utilizing this occasion to bring to the fore those civic aspects which constitute a constructive and comprehensive program of expansion and development, which will insure future growth, stability and prosperity of the city. “The growth of our city means the development of its real estate.

WE BUY DIAMONDS _ 113 W. n'Bahlncton

It means a growing demand of the expansion of our real estate facilities, commercial, residential and industrial. This will further stabilize real estate values and progressively add increased values to local real estate investments.” He said that the housing shortage facing Indianapolis today, which has been due to deferred building activity, has brought increased rents and made it necessary for many people to buy their own homes, and at the same time it has stimulated the building of new homes and increased employment in the construction industry. “Economic trends bespeak confidence in Indianapolis and its real estate and its desirability for substantial investment. Now is the time to give serious consideration to the future of Indianapolis and its real estate.” lOTA NU MEETING SET National Convention Is to Open Here June 28.
