HOME UNIQUE Many Innovations Incorporated in Majestic 40-Story ' Structure. The vividly colored new home of the Union Trust company embodies many novel and unique ideas, in addition to its revolutionary use of color, according to a representative of the architects, Smith, Hlnchman Sc Grylls. To begin where this tremendous new 40-story structure begins, the caissons on which It rests were put down 135 feet below sidewalk level to bedrock. This gives the Union TruBt company the distinction of being the only banking institution in the state of Michigan and possibly In a much greater area to own its own building with a foundation resting upon bedrock. Two L'nique Services. Two of the unique services which will be offered to tenants are the use of the facilities of the trust company's medical dispensary on the ninth floor and of the dining room on the thirty-second floor. Many rare woods are being used in the interior finish of the building. One of the most Interesting from the standpoint of its history will panel the walls of a conference room adjoining the directors' room on the sixth floor. This conference room will be known as the Michigan White Pine room, because the wood for its panels was cut on the estate of the president of the trust company, Frank W. Blair, at Orion, Mich. Some of the unique features of the building of special interest to the artist are the use of Monel metal, a white compound of nickel which will give a predominant silver effect instead of a bronze or copper.

The sale of a four-story building on the east side of Woodward avenue, between Congress and Lamed streets, at $7,500 a foot, said to be considerably below actual valuation of property in this block, was reported by Samuel Rosenberg of the firm of Faber A Rosenberg. Mr. Rosenberg did not disclose the purchaser's name, or to what use the building would be put. It also was reported by this same member that his firm had sold the southwest corner of Lin wood and Richton, a Vacant lot 60 by 100, for $33,000. Howard J.

At the weekly meetings of the division members exchange sales information and make offers and requests for properties for their clients. An example of the cooperation existing is shown in the report of a trade negotiated by Paterson Brothers & Company. The Starrett Land company, through Howard Starrett, recently offered for sale at one of the meetings property at 146 and 154 Stlmson street. A Paterson Brothers 4 Company representative placed the property before the brokerage department of his firm, with the result that one of the salesmen shortly thereafter traded it to a client owning property at 2179 Seminole avenue which he wished to exchange for property of the character offered by the Starrett company.

Mobas Window Shades NATIONAL WINDOW SHADE CO. Surroundings Enhance or Mar . Beauty and Charm of Dwelling. BY .O. MAFLE. Vice-President, Border Cities Co. It takes more than brick and stone to make a home. Edgar Guest has written a poem stating "It takes a heap of livin' in a house to make a home," but even with a well-built structure and "a heap of livin' " the ethical real estate man thinks of other necessary requisites. Webster defines a home as "the abiding place of affections." The walls may be beautiful but cold, the threshold may be scarred with the footprints of many generations, the life within may seem Joyful, but with all this something may be lacking. Setting Is Important. The setting in which a house is found means as much in making it a place to foster the growth of affections as what goes on inside. It Is not the sidewalk in front or tha basement beneath that n;kes a house. "All Improvements in" is a phrase often heard from inexperienced operators. But these are a small part of the environment making a house a home. No poet ever writes about the decorations of the walls, the material in the foundation, the width of the sidewalks or the depth of the basement. The qualities that make a house a home are the magnetic lines of force that draw the wanderers back to the magnet. These influences are the "highways that are happy ways if they lead the way to home." A home is like a great empire or kingdom the house the capitol city. Wherever a subject goes, there is the empire. The empire is a network of invisible lines that, beginning with the abiding place of those who love their country, thread through the social structure of the world to the palace of the king. The home begins where the interests of the family are, and includes that essence along the streets and highways that leads to the house. The home is an institution not made 8938 Linwood Garfield 9610 with hands, but unlimited in its scope. Care Is Stressed. It is this conception of b home that makes some real estate ventures more profitable than others, that makes the advice of an experienced realtor necessary in buying a lot. To make money on a real estate investment one should select his real estate company as carefully as his physician. A good company does more than sell a lot or offer a house to the highest bidder. It selects and develops properties that meet the requirements for a home. More than this, one should keep in mind that the requirements for a home change year by year, from generation to generation. As social and educational opportunities grow the demands for a home become more varied. Home Life Changes. At one time in the races' history a cave or tent was the acme of human desires. But as civilization grew the community life became more extensive, the needs more numerous and the home life more important. Under the changing influence of time man began to need more than a roof to keep out the sunshine and rain. His home became a birthplace of ideals, the laboratory for the intensive gardening of youth. Often in a rapidly growing Industrial city a cottage on a narrow, barren lot is sutlicient for a time But as the standard of living changes, a new conception of home is born. The family demands more than a place to eat and sleep. The international city, composed of Detroit and the border cities, has reached this stage. There are many thousands demanding more than a house. They want a home. They want the chance to build where home demands are met. Although they want to live near the center of things, where big things are happening, they demand fresh air and sunshine. The business man wishes to get to his office quickly and after his day's work is done to reach his golf course or other recreational opportunities with the least possible waste of time. He wants a home where the ideals of his neighbors are similar to his own. He wants community life without the sacrifice of time to reach it. World's Eyes on Area.

This means that in 20 years Detroit will have an Increase in population greater than its present total; and the metropolitan area surrounding Detroit will have a corresponding increase. Four years ago the Detroit water board estimated that Detroit's population in 19S5 would be 3,400.000. We say that it will be approximately 3,100,000 In 1948. Why should growth continue at this rate? Because: This city will continue to be America's principal market for skilled labor. Industry in general continues to expand in number and In performance. In the past five years an average of more than 50 new Industries per annum have come to Detroit. Last year there were 65, and this year there will be still more. Detroit is developing a greater diversity of manufacture than any Industrial center in the country. Its geographical location contributes largely to this. Eminent analysts proclaim that Detroit is destined to be the "queen city of the western hemisphere." Workers Attracted Here. Detroit leads in the manufacture of a larger number of commodities than any large industrial city in the United States. Detroit will yet be the airplane production center of America. It is inevitable because it naturally follows and belongs where automotive production excels. Of course, Detroit will continue to grow, and so will land values throughout the entire metropolitan area, because Detroit will always be predominantly a city of homes. Those subdivisions which a few years ago were supposed to be "far out" are today being spotted with homes. The movement to the outlying districts is on. That is why there will be many who will say In the near future: "I wish I had bought Detroit v- Built and financed on your lot. $10,700 STORE SITES IN A GROWING CENTER A great shopping district it springing up about West Milwaukee one block from the intersection of Grand Blvd. and Woodward.
