Look for Busy Home Shopping Over Holidays
Looking forward to two busy weekends due to the fact that holidays, Christmas and New Years, fall on Sunday this year, William H. Wade, builders of Wade's Colonial Cottages on Jerico Turnpike near Merrick Road, Hyde Park, L. I., are hurrying to completion six new model homes.
The builders believe that many homeseekers will take advantage of these extra holidays to "look around." Eighteen homes have been sold in this project which is open just a little over a month. There will ultimately be 75 homes in the project.
The new homes are of brick construction with attached garages and open porches. They occupy plots 50x100 and carry with FHA mortgages. There is a public school one block from the property and the new Seawanhaka High School is a few blocks away.
