If the property is as represented it will not suffer by examination. We have nothing to conceal. That part of Connordale Addition which is now on the market extends along "Washington Avenue from Twelfth street to Sixteenth street on one side and along Twelfth street between L avenue and F avenue on the other. It is as level as a table. The soil is a dark rich loam, easy to work and wonderfully fertile. The sort of ground that produces that th ick, green velvety lawn that adds so much to the beauty of a home. It is underlaid with gravel from 6 to 8 feet be low the surface. This insures perfect drainage and carries off all surface water. Cellars do not have to be floored and walled with concrete and will always be free from stagnant water after a hard rain. Concrete curbs and extra heavy concrete sidewalks five feet widehave ben laid. The streets are graded and a ten foot parking space provided on each side. The city water has been piped in and the ; sewers follow this year. Washington Avenue is paved with asphalt this summer right to the head of the Connordale addition. L Avenue, running from Washington Avenue at the head of Connordale, past the city hall to the high school, is to be opened up. Electric lights and telephones have already been in stalled in the new houses built on Connordale and a street lighting system will soon be provided. Every requisite of a bight-class residence district is found there. Go and see for yourself, or let us take you over the Addition in one of our machines. We have a legitimate, home-building proposition not a1 wild cat speculation. You owe it to yourself and your family to investigate it. La Grande Developing 274 Stark Street Portland, Ore.
