THE MMIONAM ' MCUEATO Set Your Gold Eagles on University Park, the Business Center of the Peninsula, and Thev Will Hatch You a Millionaire Use Your Intelligence The picture on this page is an exact section taken from Roland & Fortiner's Map of Portland. It is in no way con torted, twisted or turned, but shows the situation as it exists. Notice the loca tion of the railroads around and under University Park. Railroad centers make business centers. Business cen ters make millionaires. Notice the lo cation of the packing plant, the factory district, the navigable rivers, saw mills, flour mills, woolen mill, shingle mills, veneer works, iron works, drydock, Co lumbia University, boulevards and elec tric lines. Do you know of another place on earth which offers such an op portunity to make a fortune? -O Xp High Land Limited High prices always come when the de mand exceeds the supply. If every acre above high water, west of Vancouver avenue, which is the Peninsula proper,' be platted into lots, there would be less than one hundred feet square for each inhabitant now residing there. On the Columbia and Willamette flats sur rounding University Park there is suf ficient room for one thousand factories, employing 1000 men each, consequently the large supply of factory space will for many years make factory sites cheap, which in turn will attract factor ies to those locations. One hundred fac tories on the flats surrounding Univer sity Park, employing one hundred men each, would make a city of 150,000 on the high land, which would create a de mand for lots greater than the supply, which would result in extremely high prices for lots. STUDY THE PICTURE Where Millionaires Were Made Flouring mills and railroads made millioniires of many in Minneapolis, who placed ' their savings in lots. Lumbering and navigation made millionaires in Detroit of many who invested their money in lots. Woolen mills made millions for real estate ' investors in Boston. The packing business made millionaires of real estate inves tors in Chicago, South Omaha, South St. Joe, Kansas City, Fort Worth and other places. This being true, what is likely to come to the person who invests m Univer sitv Park lots, w'ttich will be surrounded with all of these millionaire-making indus tries? Money invested in real estate in a growing eity invariably makes the pur chaser wealthy. Get Your Bird on Now Real estate in the vicinity of University Park is advancing rapidly. Bef ore January I prices will be 25 per cent above the prices of today. Prices must continue to go up rapidly.

I told you this when lots could be bought on the Peninsula for $10 each. You did not believe me then, but you belive me now. Buy now, even if you can t carry more than 25x100 feet.
