This was the remark recently made by a man in the Grande Ronde valley who listened and was tempted by the oily agents for wireless stock, the dignified agents for Portland city lots, the talkative men for Seattle and Tacoma additions. He bought some of all of them, believing the great finance to make money was in another man's game. Now, he has awakened to the fact that "hills look green far away" but that home securities and home 11m . ... ... Jl 4.1. A. l .1 J VVVWWi beat anythinng offered by the V fly-by-night" agent. This man now. realizes that there is plenty of money on the coast to grab anything that looks like an in : vestment destined to return big dividends. lien do nothing but watch for such things in money centers and they never let the good things get away. What do they market away from home? Here it is: Several men go in together and get options on a piece of property. Little money is put up except for hiring salesmen. ,This "syndicate" hires the best talent obtainable, gets out glowing lit-j. erature with pretty pictures and starts operation in th8 interior country. One salesman said to a friend recently: "I always like to sell from a blue print. It is far more attrac tive than the property and besides the rough land, ravines and brush piles do not show up on the print." ; .This syndicate pounds at their salesmen who work very hard and the rersult is that the addition or what ever it may be is finally unloaded and the stockhold . ers of the syndicate pocket a handsome profit, while the people holding contracts cannot under any cir cumstances sell their lots at what they paid for them. The man referred to has bought something of all offerings made by the outside men lately and he is through. He now admits he would like to trade his entire holdings for Imbler fruit land. Is it not likely there will be others who will gladly make the same offer after they investigate what they have been buying? . Bear in mind, there is nothing so staple as fruit land, nothing so sure of bringing returns and at alf times having a full value in your securitvi- The man with a few hundred dollars can now handle such land with as secure protection as can the man with thous ands. . .;;.,.;. -..''."'.v.. .i:-.
