CHAPTER
"This reminds me of the
Chicago Stock Exchange
during a flurry in wheat,"
says a customer this after
noon, after he had been trying
for half an hour to catch the
salesmanager's eye, in the jam in
front of the real estate department
of Hartman & Thompson's Bank.
One agent stood on the outside of the
crowd with four fingers extended,
trying to catch a clerk s attention,
meaning that he had just sold four lots.
That s it! liood things do not last
always. These lots are going fast. .
A prominent real estate man in this
town said: "We do not understand
how you can do it." Our reply to him
was ' that property well bought was
half sold."
And this is the reason that we can
sell it to you so cheap. Remember the
prices, trom $bou to $iouu. ; on terms
13
of 10 per cent down and 2 per cent per
month. .
And don't" forget that it is on the
Heights. That the same kind of prop
erty on the West Side (Portland
Heights), similarly located, that sold
for $600 per lot ten years ago, is today
worth ten times as much.
It is going, going, and will soon be
gone! Go out while that going is good.
HOW TO GET THERE: We would
rather you would go out and look
at it by yourself and form your own
opinion, for we know that you would
be right back at the ofhee and
buy. You do not need an agent,
this property sells itself. Take
a Mount labor car. They
run every ty2 minutes on
Morrison street. Or, if j'ou
prefer it, come to this of
fice and we will take
you out.
