Original Toronto Star caption: When way Don apartments were built 15 years ago they were called maisonettes; a word now being used less and less in housing circles. Actually the apartments look like townhouses; back to back; with a corridor in between. The former rental project is now converted to condominium and about half of the 66 units have been sold. Extensive renovation to modern standards is under way.

    A winner in the inflation battle is 31-year-old Jim Barr, who became a real estate salesman less than 15 months ago and expects to make $60,000 this year. That's a result of good, hard work plus the runaway prices of property.
