LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER, FRIDAY, MARCH 24, 1911. Why Let the Stranger Get the Best the Country Has to Offer? PROFIT BY EXPERIENCE OP THE PAST AND MAKE INVESTMENTS CLOSE HOME WHERE YOU CAN LOOK AFTER THEM YOURSELF ' All over the country we hear the same story. 4 ' Sev eral years ago I could have bought certain, real es tate for such a price and now it has made someono rich." Why not profit by these experiences of oth er? and buy something tLal is not only a sure invest ment but has an investment feature that is positive ly bound to make good. 4 On everything there is an element of chance ex cept in orchard development. It is conceded by ' bankers all over the country to be the one safe busi ness venture. A few years ago when an excursion of middle states bankers came west they looked the country over carefully. Upon their return they op enly announced that fruitlands had the best future of any oth er real estate venture. The wisdom of their statements has proven true. In many well organized fruit sections land has ad vanced by leaps and bounds. Yet right here at home where a fruit district is just forming there is a great opportunity to buy orchards at one-fourth what is asked for lands in other sections. Will anyone deny 1 that fruit here is not just as good as can be raised any place on the face of the earth? Then why should the land not bring the prices of other sections? It will. But at the present time there is a period of organization in the Grande Ronde valley. The Imbler district is the heart of the fruftJ producing section . and Imlber land is already being sought by the foreign investor. Now is the time for home folks to get in and reap some of the benefit known to have been harvested in other communities of the northwest. '!t-7mtf$&$$& , You will never buy Imbler fruit land as cheaply as you can buy it today. You will never have a better opportunity to invest a few hundred dollars that will positively bring the returns. 1 , You will never be ashamed of an investment you fcave made at Imbler and never have to hide the stock of its concerns in the remotest corners of your safe. Investigate the values at Imbler. Go out and look over the great area being set to trees that will bring ... money into this valley., -7 , .... , After making this thorough investigation and comparison with other:. fruit sections decide whether or not you prefer'the uncertain stock values in a questionable corporation, whether you prefer to pay four times the price asked for Imbler fruit land in other sections, whether you want to play y mt money against the other fellow's town lot bunco game in Portland and Seattle.
