OREGON CITY COURIER-HERALD, FRIDAY, MAY 24, 1901
Do You Own
Your Home.
If not why don't you stop paying rent and apply
the money towards the purchase of a home ? A
first-class opportunity is now open to you in the
proposition that the
Willamette Falls Company
, Is making to sell small tracts of its land near the
town of Willamette Falls on such reasonable
terms that a person with a very small income may
become a heme builder. These tracts vary in
size from two and one-half acres up, all good level
land and first-class soil suitable for cultivation
On one of these tracts you can have a small or
chard and also raise all the vegetables and small
fruits that a family can. use, and with the ad
dition of a cow and chickens, a large part of your
living can be made on the place. There is a good
school in Willamette Falls and your children will
have excellent educational facilities. Easy access
is had with Oregon City over the
Willamette Falls Railway
With cheap fare, ancl cars are run to accommodate
the mill hands. Why not get out of town and
give your children breathing and play room and
thus insure their good health ? Don't you think
that you would feel more independent and con
tented if you owned your home than you do when
living in a rented place? If you are interested in
this matter apply to C. A. Miller, at WILLAM
ETTE FALLS RAILWAY STATION West
Side, for full particulars.
