His biggest killing was a piece of semi-business property — what might be called apartment-house property — just a block from the very heart of the business section of Hollywood.
From Hollywood to the sea runs a broad mesa. Thru this mesa runs a great boulevard that will one day be the finest street in the world. Harold is preparing for this day. Smack across this boulevard, a little way beyond Beverly Hills, he has a tract of forty acres. When you figure that lots are selling at from four thousand dollars to ten thousand dollars each in Beverly, and when you continue to figure and discover that there are from five to ten lots in an acre, according to the way you cut the cloth, it can be readily seen that Harold is due for a lot of money.
He has many other investments shrewdly made. He is very modest about it; but he says frankly that the Hollywood boom has given him all the money he will ever need in this world, and he can devote himself to acting without further worries.

Viola had a chauffeur who was a clever, industrious young fellow who knew a lot about cars. Viola wanted to see him get a better chance in the world. She had a secretary who was a clever young girl. Viola wanted to see her get a better chance in the world. When somebody offered to sell her an automobile garage in Hollywood Boulevard, Viola saw that this was the chance to help them both. She bought the garage and put in her chauffeur as superintendent and her secretary as business manager. She had no thought of the property's going up in value. But virtue was its own reward. The place has more than doubled in value. Viola refuses to sell because she doesn't want to wreck the hopes of the young garage partners. Meanwhile, it is bringing her a fat dividend each month.
