1.1
A New use for aerial photography from the Phoenix Gazette
The
Phoenix Gazette (12/20/96, p.E2) reports "Clients and associates of
Nathan
& Associates will find a nice - and valuable - surprise on the back
of
the real estate brokerage's poster size Christmas card." It's an aerial
map
showing major real-estate developments in the Salt River Valley. The
firm
has projects in several of them. The
maps were made by Landiscor,
which
usually sells them.
