Northeast corner of State Street and Park
Place, Detroit. This site adjoins the North-
west corner of Washington Boulevard and
State Street.
B
Building is to be a 1,000 car garage of 12 stories
and full basement, steel and concrete fireproof
construction, with 8 stores on ground floor.
This garage is the first unit of the 85.story
Book 'lower. Foundations and steel are de-
signed to carry an additional 12 stories.
The total security is $2,644,660, which
makes the bond issue approximately 54i
of the security.
The borrower is J. B. Book, Jr., owner of
many valuable downtown Detroit properties
and nationally known for his remarkable de-
, elopment of Washington Boulevard.
The location is probably the best in the city
of Detroit for a structure of this type. Its
proximity to large downtown buildings assures
immediate occupancy. Within a radius of two
blocks are a score of Detroit's largest office
buildings and hotels. A location as central as
this will probably never again he available
for garage facilities.
The Book Tower Garage will he operated
by National Garages, Inc., probably the larg-
est operators of ramp-type garages in the
world. They have successfully operated the
properties of Detroit Garages, Inc., or a
long period.
The net yearly income of garage and stores
is estimated at $278,394.50, more than three
times the greatest annual interest charge on
the hont! issue. The garage income was esti-
mated by National Garages, Ine.,basedon their
long experience as operators of 12 garages in
eight cities, having a total capacity of6,700cars.
A survey of traffic conditions in Detroit shows
the real need the city has for a building of
this type, and an examination of the features
of this bond issue reveals the fact that it is
a remarkably fine investment opportunity.

Bible was written, to prepare
yourself to teach the Jewish his-
tory to children or to leading
clubs of Jewish youth-this rare
opportunity is offered you every

The flower of German Jewry

Heine himself remarked a few
days after the ceremony : "I am

forced upon Heine by the bar-
barian church of his time has
given professors of literature ever
since an excuse to rhapsodize over

without ever letting on that he
was also a genuinely Jewish Jew.
Heine himself tried for some
time to forget that he was a Jew.
He liked to call himself a Ilellene,
a seeker after pure beauty, and
therefore unconcerned with moral
and social problems. But the
smart of Jewish suffering was in
his blood and the fire of the proph-
ets smouldered in his breast. He
became the leader in the rebel-
lion of the German people against
the German aristocracy because
he knew the sting of the oppres-
sion of his race. Ile knew the
strangulating confinement of the
ghetto. To champion the cause of

an instinctive thing with the Jew.

mind there stirred the Jewish tra-
dition of freedom, a tradition and
a passion which is rooted in the
beginnings of the race. When-
ever freedom has spoken out in
the Western World, she has spoken
with a decidedly Jewish accent,
In England, in America and in
Germany, it was Moses and the
judges and the Prophets who
turned the tide in favor of Democ-
racy. It was two Jews, Borne and
Heine, baptized in the fire of Jew-
ish suffering which no baptism by
water could quench, who led
Young Germany into the revolu-
tiin which ended with the lihera•
tion of 1848.
And no small measure of the
energy and recklessness with
which they gave themselves to the
struggle was due to their desire to
make it up to the Jewish people
which they had ostensibly deserted
in their baptism. In the general
liberation, they knew, Jewry
would would its full emancipation.
Judaism is nut a mere formula of
words with which men can play
about. It is fur every Jew a vital
social responsibility. The Jewish
people is always in a precarious
position. To desert it is to desert
a social trust.
That Heine felt this, Mr.
Browne adduces convincing evi-
dence.
He wanted One (met roost, one
love, one faith. In the struggle to
get these, he lost everything, in-
cluding honor. But he gained a
melancholy music which shall
swing sweet to the end of time,
and he gained a !nighty passion
for humanity which, like a blast
of gunpowder, tore down the last
ramparts of mediaevalism and
wrought mightily to bring on this
new world in which we are living.
In giving instructions as to his
funeral, he said: "Lay upon my
grave not a laurel wreath (the re-
ward of the poet 1, but a sword.
For while I have played with poet-
ry as with a divine toy, I went to
be membered primarily as a sol-
dkm in the war for the liberation
of mankind."
