THE StSDAY ORfiGOXIAX, P-OBtLAND, 'I Johns The Most Prosperous and Most Rapidly Growing City in, the Paci fic Northwest Five new factories have secured locations in St. Johns in the past ten days. Sites have been secured and con struction will commence at once. The centering here of the great railroad systems and its miles of tleep-water frontage fixes beyond any possible question !?t. Johns' commer cial supremacy. In three years it has grown from 300 to 4000 people, from an assessed valuation of .$ 1.30.000 to $2,700,000, from a "pay roll of from nothing to over half a million dollars annually. Within another year this pay roll will be increased to $1,000, 000. These are facts, not mere, state ments, and can be readily verified. All of this means immense increase 'in values of real estate. One month ago we placed East t. Johns Addition on the market.' We have already sold over $30,000 worth of lots. Present prices are . S400 and upwards TERMS: 10 per cent down and $10.00 per month These prices will be advanced soon. REMEMBER THIS: That Kast St. Johns is on the St. Johns carline, at its crossing with Columbia Boule vard; that it is only two blocks from Maegley Junction; two blocks from the Northern Pacific Depot, where the future immense traffic of the Lower Peninsula must center, and is in the vicinity of (he Great Swift Packing Company site, which alone will create a city of 20,000 people. Careful investigation will convince any prudent investor that East St. Johns offers greater opportunities for safe and profitable investment than any other locality in Portland. Remember that three years ago lots in 8t. Johns which now are worth $10,000 were bought for $400. Three years from now the same story will be told about lots in East St. Johns. This is your opportunity the great est ever offered investors of moder ate means. Make a personal investigation. Take St. Johns car, get off at East St. Johns (formerly Smith's. Cross ing). Agents on the ground week days and Sundays. St Johns Land Co. Liiititon BEAR IN MIXD That the important development of all large cities located at the head of navigable rivers is towards the sea.
