I It is perfectly surprising" the number of people who visited Evanston yesterday; Soma came out of
curiosity, others with a desire to see if it were Teally true that a beautiful, close in, lot could be had for
$400 on easy installments. Nor was anyone disappointed.
d The fact that five lots were sold yesterday and first payments made bears out the statement that
EVANSTON DOES REPRESENT MORE THAN USUAL VALUES.
Q The above cut shows Francis avenue, now being improved by the city. Evanston lies just to the
left and shows the graders at work producing some elegant terraced lots. And the surprising part pf
it all is that this property may be had for $400 a lot on monthly payments of $10; but the lot cannot be
had after the first of the month, for The Spanton selling contract expires then; whatever property re
mains unsold at that time will be withdrawn from the market. This is no threatening statement, but a
simple condition of facts. . ' ,. - . .
Q We know Evanston lots at $400 are two hundred dollars cheaper than property is selling for on all
sides. , . - ." "'
9 Evanston is high and sightly; is convenient to cars; is free from stumps and rocks and is, in truth,
a finished residence section a veritable garden spot for people who love nice surroundings.

IcIenm Junction
The Peninsula Has What the Manufacturer Wants
This is the reason why the foundation for so much activity i3
now being laid on the Peninsula, and this is also the reason why
we advise you to buy at McKenna Junction now and realize the
profit out of the certain advance. On the Peninsula there is not
only water and rail, but a vast territory at hand over which grow
ing manufacturing plants can be expanded these are the things
that appeal to the kings of industry.
Menna
UNCTION
holds a position that cannot help being affected by the earliest)
developments following the Swift-Armour packing plant and the
extensive railroad building now under way. It therefore offers
the most excellent opportunity for the small investor that has
occurred on the entire Coast in years. The Peninsula has long
been considered the ideal situation for manufacturers of all
classes. It holds the logical situation for water shipping to and
from all points' inland and on the open water. The obstacle has
been the want of better railroad facilities and these are now a
reality attracted by the greatest of assured enterprises.
DiTORiAL Thunder
Some Portland Attractions; Why Large Manufac
turing Concerns Are Coming to the Peninsula
There are many factors contributing to this admirable situa
tion for such plants as Swift & Co. Portland is the largest dis
tributing center in the Pacific Northwest. It is located at the foot
of a water level route which is now used by three transcontinental
railroads. It is at the gateway of and is the trading point for the
great Willamette Valley and the vast Columbia basin two agri
cultural districts which contain a productive area in the aggregate
four times as large as that which is tributary to Puget Sound.
Both in available supplies of raw material and in transportation
facilities for distributing the manufactured products and massing
the raw material, Portland offers to the big packers inducements
that are missing from any other location. For these reasons the
Swift plant is here and others will follow.
Your
PPORTUNITY
Look around you and see what has occurred at St. Johns,
where lots went from $100 to $10,000 in three years. Some men
high in railroad circles predict that lots now being offered by us .
for $500 will bring $25,000 before five years.
What we look for has been repeated over and over again in
Kansas City, Chicago, Omaha, Buffalo and Sioux City, etc., and
none of the environments of these cities' were started under more
promising conditions.
The city map will show you how necessary McKenna J unction
townsite is to the industrial situation on the Peninsula. McKenna
Junction faces Columbia Boulevard at the approach of the tunnel
which is to be driven through Dana street under University Park,
where the main line of the 0. R. & N. intersects the main line of
the Harriman system to the Sound. It is a grade crossing and
consequently every train over the Harriman system to the Sound, '
to the stockyards and over the main line of the 0. R. & N., must
pass over and stop at McKenna Junction. Here a large tract of
land has been reserved for railroad yards and depot tracks to the
Swift site are now being put down.
Remember that on May 1st $285 lots will be advanced $15 per
lot. Come out today. Take St. John car and get off at Goddard
Station and you will find my office. .
