FRANCIS , McRE5A. Stockyards and Packing-Houses Stockyards and packing-houses added 100,000 population to Chicago, and gave Chi cago its first boost toward greatness. Packing-houses and stockyards added 60,000 population to Kansas City, and made it supreme over all rivals. Stockyards and packing-houses made South Omaha a city, of 40,000 population. You can easily form an opinion of what the stockyards and packing houses will do for University Park, the cen ter of the Peninsula. Lumbering Lumbering made Detroit, Mich., a city of 400,000 population. The Peninsula is a lum ber center.. It has the University Lumber & Shingle Mill, the Peninsula Lumber Com pany mills, the St. John Lumber Company mills and the Weyerhauser Lumber Com pany, largest in the world, has purchased a site. The lumber interests alone are suffi cient to cover the Peninsula with a dense city. aK, " Columbia Uni versity The Northwest University, located at Evanston, 111., made a city of 50,000 in habitants. Wherever a university has been located in a well-populated country, a large city has grown. Columbia University is growing to be one of the great institutions of the Pacfiic Northwest, and will lend tone and dignity to University Park as a business cen ter. This university alone can be depended upon to attract 10,000 population to the Peninsula ' STUDY THE PICTURE Railroads Railroads have made large cities wherever they have centered. Railroads formed a cen ter right in the front doors of St. Louis, Chi cago and Cincinnati, and made Indianapolis a city of 200,000 population. Railroads cen tered on the bleak, blizzard-ridden plains of Iowa, and caused Des Moines, a city of 150, 000 to ijpring up. What will the railroads centering at University Park do for that dis trict, in conjunction with its rivers, navi gable to the commerce of the world? A Great Future What can we reasonably expect of University Park, with its vast lumber business, its large stockyards and packing-houses and all the great transcontinental railroads center ing there, in addition to its rivers navigable to the commerce of the world? When we rnnsinr what has. hepn done in thir cities, haue we not jrnoA reason to exnect to see lots sell on such streets as Chautauqua, Willis and Fowler for $1000 per front foot within 10 years? An investment in only one lone lot will surely make you rich in 10 years. Does not something deep down inside tell you not to let this opportunity slip by? PRICES AND' TERMS Jjtflyi I907, we withdrew all our property at University Park from the market, because.we learned what was coming to pass this year. We know that the things that would J otale place this year would double, treble, yes, quadruple, the value of every foot of land we owned at University Park. We have always been generous'to our patrons. We never made an advance in prices on 1 our lots without advertising the proposed advance and giving the public an opportunity to buy before the advance. -.... UNTIL APRIL 15, 1 90S WE WILL OFFER ALL, EXCEPT OUR RESERVE BLOCK, AT THE PRICE AT WHICH WE ADVERTISED LOTS DURING JULY, 1907. THE NUMBER OF LOTS WE WILL LET GO AT THESE PRICES WILL NOT LAST LONG. WILL NOT SELL TO EXCEED 100 FEET FRONTAGE TO ONE PERSON. RESIDENCE LOTS, $10 PER FRONT FOOT UP TO $15 PER FOOT FOR CHOICE BUSINESS LOCATIONS. TEN PER CENT CASH, $10 MONTHLY ON ONE LOT AND $5 ADDITIONAL FOR EACH ADDITIONAL LOT. Nd INTEREST IF EACH INSTALLMENT BE PAID WHEN OR BEFORE DUE. Bypayingdown$37.50onabusinesslotbefore April 15 you can get advantage of the rise of $100 on April 15. A gain of $2.50 in three days for each one dollar invested ought to be good enough for a beginning. Take St. John car, get off at Chautauqua Boulevard, where you will find my office.
