| Notes |
Title from photographer's manuscript note on verso. |
|
Photographer's manuscript note on verso: Ludlow St bet 18" and 19" Sts. An acquaintance of ours suggests that an apparently
good way to make money is to buy a row of houses for $10,000 with a $9500 mortgague [sic] and $500 cash. Then paint the shutters
alternately green and red, the doors pink and yellow, after which sell the properties at $10,000 each. Dutch.
