A ?tlessae for You
About six weeks ago when we first
put Mountain View ua the market,
we told you through our advertise
ment that considering the many ad
vantages to be had, line land, close
in, near to schools and churches,
close to markets, easy terms, long
time and low interest, -that -we
thought tt WB3 only a ahort time be
fore every one of the 23 tracts in
Mountain View would be old, for a
great many people are looking for
just this kind of reposition. We
didn't miss our guess ' either, for at
this time, we have sold 15 tracts U
15 Sensible Investors and several
more tracts are spoken for, so we
believe that Mountain View will all
be sold within the next few. weeks.;
Now. if you are not one of those
15 Sensible Investors and you have
'-.cell vi:;Hrv you knew oi :onr-
li;u' where you could invest a fw
dollars each wevl:, know that it was
absolutely .safe a:vl would return
ruod interest,- re would iidvi.! you
to come to our office and let us talk
Mountain View over with you. You
,, 'il! i :vAc) nr mistake In investing
hetv for ths' --property will never
be clicaiter,' in ff.vt, la the 'next few
years it will ba double what we are
now r.?kinK for it". Do you knowof
a pu-r-'J of good land that you can
buy Now at tho same price you
could buy it Two Yean Ago? Vc
do not think to. Two years from
now, tho same property you can buy
now for $100 per acre will be sell
ing at $200 per acre. Now we want
you to see Mountain View; If you
will come to our office, we will take
you to the land in our auto, we will
how you the f.oest farm in Colum
bia County, we will show you how
easy it is to become the owner of
one of the fine tracts; we will make
easv terms for you, a small pay-
