BELIEVE ME NOW, WILL YOU ? Before there was a school, or a university, or a boulevard, or a carline, or a railroad. or a store, or any thing but a few woodcutters on the Peninsula, I told you that some day there would be a great -citv between th nW. v to believe me. One need not to have been born with fh o-iff nf u r . r z ' : vx fivyiy iu nctvc mreseen mis result. Study the picture. BELIEVE ME NOW One need riot be born with the gift of prophecj' to foresee that lots centrally located at University Park and Ports mouth will, within 20 years, sell for $1000 per front foot Study the picture. UNIVERSITY PARK University Park is the center of the Peninsula. See the railroad on the north; see the railroad on the south; see the railroad on the west, see the electric line through the center; see the factory district on the north; see the factory district on the south; see the factory district on the west; see the location of Columbia University; see the location of Columbia Park (owned by, the city); see the location of the boulevards north, south, east and central; the location of the drydock, mills, factories and stockyards. The better class engaged at the packing-houses will seek their homes at University Park, where odors will not reach. Study the picture. ELEVATION University Park lies from loO to 160 feet above high water in the rivers. It has perfect drainage in a gentle slope toward the rivers. It is absolutely without hill, hollow or gulch. Every lot in University Park is suit able for a residence without grading or filling. UNIVERSITY SCHOOLS University Park lies within the boundaries of the Citv of Portland, and has all the advantages of the public schools. The poorest laborer can give his sons a college education at University Park, After his children com plete the public school grades they can enter the univer sity. Study the picture. WATER and SCENERY University Park has the far-famed Bull Run water from the snow line of Mount Hood. It has an unexcelled view of Mount Hood, Mount Adams, Mount St. Helens, Mount Rainier, and a grand sweep of. 200 miles of the Cascades and Coast Ranges of mountains. PRICES OF LOTS You can buy lots at University Park with all its advan tages and prospects for less money than you would have to pay in a place of similar population 100 miles from rail road. University Park has upward of 2500 population and yet you can get lots for $200 to $350 each, centrally locat ed. This condition cannot be held down much longer. We have purposely kept the brakes on to prevent wild cat speculation. Normal conditions demand higher prices. Prices will be advanced $25 per lot April 1 TERMS We require one-tenth in cash, balance $5 monthly. No interest on deferred payments, if paid on or before due. Francis I.
