LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22, 1910. PACE THREE ; 1 I I - L .PXOPMTYW PORTLAND. -WV .V THIS BIRSEYE VIEW SHOWS LAURELHU EST AND SURROUNDING RESIDENCE DIS TRICT OF PORTLAND-THE CITY IS B t UILT UP ALMOST SOLID FOR 2 MILES BEYOND. liZo:: vy ifi I1--! ILij IfvU; 1 US ). ; L. Tfte Addition with Character IT IS AN ABSOLUTE FACT This property' which isbrfdy improved as Laurel hurst and which is ideally located and highly restricted could not be purchased in other large cities ot the 'United States for double wha t is being asked for lots in Laurelhurst, which i s the most highly improved and close in restrict ed residence property m Portland. We know that we are selling Laurelhurst too low, and the b est evidence we have lies in the fact that a num ber of people who purchased from us in Laurel hurst have resold at advances of from $200 to $ 300 per lot over what they paid.

It is all being more highly improved than any other residence secti on of Portland, and has two car lines running t hrough it, with two more lines within two blocks ot its southerly portion. And lots are being off ered for sale at prices as low as you would have t o pay for lots in districts with few, if any im provcments. Take, as example, the cities of S anfrancisco, Los Angeles, Tacoma, or Seattle in no one-of them can highly improved and re stricted residence lots within one and one-hal f miles of the center of town be purchased at d ouble the price for which Laurelhurst lots are selling.. As a matter of fact, lots m other high- class additiions right here in Portland are bein g sold today for double what is being asked in LaureUiurst, and there is no scctnon of Portland- which is as hjghlyimproved as Laurelhurst will be when improvements now under way are com- For information call on J.
