Show Real Estate Deals ! Presage Period ! of Good Times i That Milford is fast recovering jfrom the depression and about to1 ! hit the old stride that always has kept the town out in front in sou-I sou-I them Utah ever since the town was first founded, is given color by the increasing number of real estate, deals negotiated by D. E.I Kirk of the Kirk Realty company'. It would be about as unusual for Milford to enter upon a boom period without Gene Kirk very much in evidence as it would be for the sun not to rise and the' deals made and those in prospect bear out the thought of The News that we've turned that "corner"! behind which prosperity has been hiding all too long. Purchase of the Bronn residence on the southwest bench by Miss Glady Coleman, popular employe of the Jefferson Mercantile com-' pany, was effected recently and is being extensively repaired and; renovated. The house was origin-j ally built by Fred Jefferson and occupied by him before his remov-J al to California, where he now makas his home at Nevada City. Deciding to take advantage of federal housing act provisions, E. L. Smith has been rather hard put to it getting title cleared to a couple of lots a block north of the Christian Science church, dealing with the local bank in the trans-1 action, but these difficulties now i out of the way, he will proceed "next edition". It has never been with the erection of a modern! home, a Cedar City man having' tho contract. For the past year there have been rumors of dickering for thej purchase of the "Flatiron" building build-ing across the street from the White market, one rumor calling, for the erection of a deluxe service station at that strategic location by an oil company not now having a local outlet, but the final deal! has been its purchase by L. A.j Wynaught, local Shell Oil distri-j butor. "Bert" has not divulged his' plans for the corner but here's hoping the property is made creditable cred-itable use of. Mrs. Maud Kirn, now residing in Pasadena, was the owner of this property and still has other holdings, including the building occupied by the Milford I bakery. I Another transaction of the pastj week has involved the purchase of the Karl Carlton residence property prop-erty on the southwest bench by Merrill Edwards, Union Pacific employee. |
