THE McCAIN REALTY COMPANY
432 Ludlow StreetArcade, Dayton
 
                If those who make it possible for the working man without ready cash to secure a home of his own are valuable members of a community, then the McCain Realty Company is one of the most important institutions in Dayton. For it has been the means of scores of families in this city now having comfortable homes who, but for it, might neither have the homes nor the money to buy them with.
                It has a very remarkable plan of selling home sites that enables the man of small earning capacity to secure a fine home site in a splendid locality and to eventually build a house upon it. The special feature of this plan, however, outside of the smallest of the weekly payments required for the high class of property dealt in, is the completeness of the protection it affords to the buyer.
F              It not only insures his life and in the event of his death deeds the home site he has been purchasing, without further payment, to his family, but it also insures him against sickness or loss of work, by not requiring payments while these conditions continue. It has other valuable features as well as is the result of the company’s twenty years of experience.
                The company has long since passed the stage of being merely a business enterprise. It is one of Dayton’s permanent and thoroughly responsible institutions with a clientele of over a thousand persons in this city alone to whom it has sold home sites and rendered valuable services.
To do business with the McCain Realty Company is like doing business with a bank. You get a definite service that you can depend on.
                “The McCain Plan” as it has come to be called, is so favorably known that the company enjoys the closest of relations with the best financial institutions of the city, which is one of the reasons it can give the favorable terms and high protection to the buyers that it does, and which those of less high standing and permanence would be unable to give.
                Though it has developed and sold thirty-one subdivisions in seventeen different cities and still has valuable interests in many of these cities, the company has long since made Dayton its permanent headquarters and home office.
                Its wide experience and its study of the growth and development of cities has given it the ability to select those localities in a city best suited to the needs of the home owner, and that also lie in the path of the city’s surest growth.
                And last, but not least in our estimation, is the uniformly high grade of development this company gives to all its subdivisions, the three so far handled in Dayton setting a high standard in this respect.

Pine and Marshall Streets, Dayton
 
                The only concern in Dayton of its kind and one of the largest in the state of Ohio, the Gondert & Lienesch Company occupies an important position in the industrial world of the GemCity. Ever since it was established in 1895, the concern has done a large and flourishing business, most of which has been local. At the same time, however, the fame of the boxes made by the company has spread to all parts of the country, so that the factory is prepared to make freight and express shipments in the shortest possible time. The leading products of the factory, which covers three acres of floor space, are nailed and lock corner boxes, crates, box shooks, and returnable shipping baskets. Officials of the concern are C. A. Gondert and T. H. Lienesch, both of whom are old residents of the city, and are held in high esteem by a great circle of business associates and all their employes. They are known everywhere as successful and progressive business men and recognized as leaders in the box making industry. Employes of the company, to the number of 80, show the utmost spirit of cooperation in working for these men, on account of the fair and just attitude they have taken toward the cause of labor. To show the enormous output of the modern and up-to-date factory, it is only necessary to say that it uses annually more than 400 carloads of lumber. Success in the past is the best indication of a prosperous future, for which reason nothing but prosperity and growth is predicted for this company. Concerns favorable to the labor cause are recommended to this plant in buying their next order of boxes. Telephones: Bell Main 298; Home 2298.
