Geo. H. CurreyY Way Of Selling
REAL ESTATE
It was over four years ago, when this agency bega n selling real estate. Our success, from the very first,
has proved the merit of our policy. We deal solely o n a COMMISSION BASIS. Our part in a sale is
simply that of agent to both parties. We bring buyer and seller together, discuss all terms, and prepare a
satisfactory contract. Both owner and buyer receive the same fair treatment in our dealings. 1
Why You Should See GEO. H.CURREY When You Want to
SELL REAL ESTATE BUY REAL ESTATE.
When you investigate our varied and exten
sive listings, we show you our contracts with the
owners, giving their actual prices and terms.
Our general acquaintance with Union county lands
greatly assists us in satisfying your wants.' What
ever properties appeal to you, we willl be pleased
to take you to look them over. Our listings in
clude all varities of real estate priced at low

HOW TRADES ARE MADE
A great many people that own real estate would rather have some other property. Fanners dig a for
tune from .the soil, then move to the city. The business man retires from a successful commercial life to live
in the country. Exchanges of real estate usually- result in a material gain to both parties, not only on ac
count of better satisfaction, but also due to the use made of the land., Furthermore adavantageous trade
can. often be made, when a cash buyer could not be easily located.
LA GRANDE.
"The Meiropolis of Eastern Oregon."
As Grande Ronde Valley develops La Grande will grow, and
the larger La Grande becomes the more intensified will be the
farming. La Grande is a city of homes and payrolls. It is the
logical center of Eastern Oregon, and the next few years promise
an unprecedented development. With progressive people support
ing an advanced business for mof city administration, with good
schools and all modern municiple improvements, La Grande offers
unusual opportunities to investors and home-seekers.
UNION COUNTY.
'The Garden Spot of the Inland Empire.:'1
The Grande Ronde farmer is one of the most favored men
on earth. His soil is deep and productive. He enjoys a climate
unexcelled for either the health of his family or the growth of
his crops. He is surrounded by the luxuries of civilization, such
as good roads, fine schools, social and cooperative organizations,
telephones, electricity, daily mail routes, automobiles, etc. There
is no better place to farm for profit or live for pleasure.
