Above all it should be HIS OWN, a real home f or his wife' atad children (not a rented house), a source of satisfaction, pleasure, and pride and a ! valuable asset in times of troubles. Every man is entitled to a run for his money. Are your giving yourself and your family a . . , r .' ; .. , t ,, . . square deal so long as you continue paying rent? ' ! : ' - - 1 . v, r-.. ' ... V Another thingthe location of your home has much to do with the health and happiness of your family. If you live across the railroad track ten chances to one the smoke, dirt and grime of the shops and yards blows into your, house, begrimes your furniture, and ruins your wife's laundry. , The noise disturbs you, and your children have, to cross the tracks each way go- ing to and. from school.

The streets are wide and lined with pleasant homes. In Connordale the cement sidewalks and curbs are already in, the city water was piped through last Spring, and the main trunk line of the sewer'is within a stone's throw of the property. We set the parking spaces out to grass, trees and shrubs and restrict the building operations in such a way as to insure a uniform, home-like and beautiful residence district throughout This Fall we will build homes for purchasers on easy terms and allow them to pay for them the same as rent. Come in or call us up and let us show you this property. '" ' ' 1 ' ' - . .... ' i . Development Compaiiy ,La Grande National Bank Building. CaU Red 1251 paqs tzt: : i .- . ... (
