DOES THE

OF YOUR
HOME CON
CERN YOU?
In which class are you, the undecided, or decidedly interested? Realizing that '
the most serious problem that can possibly concern you is the location of the
home you hope some day to build will jou and your wife overlook some petty
'hobby long enough to consider this question! Admitting that the wife is en
i a ?nSeT? environment, she must also admit that her husband is en
fC t5 HfS? feaires abut a home that are conducive to rest, quiet and com
fort. If the two of you will get together in a determination to please each
other, you are m the frame of mind to look at BURKTNGTON from an
Wm&MTtl W" n0t Speak frilously wn teU you that
BURLINGTON has exactly those very advantages which will mean more to
you physically, financially, socially, than any other place in the Northwest that
you could select for your home. If we were at liberty to tell you what we
actually know with reference to the future of BURLINGTON, you would not
SmrT PS r48.?00 nW there wm be a change
BURLINGTON similar to the change that has taken place in Portland durin-
the last ten years. See BURLINGTON todav. Try and acquaint voWlf

are backing this town with millions. That is all we ask vou to do. We will
taie our chances upon your decision.
HAS ADVANTAGES THAT WILL SETTLE THE QUESTION FOR YOU FOR ALL TIME
The Family of Limited Means
can buy a homesite now in BURLINGTON with better
streetcar service, more magnificently located, with, more
conveniences, at a lower price, and upon better terms than
in any subdivision in the City of Portland now upon the
market. Upon this lot he can build a home to suit himself
upon far more favorable terms than he can anywhere in
the City of Portland. We can show-you building spots for'
as low as $300, commanding a view 365 days in the year
that Eastern people spend thousands of dollars to cross the
continent to look upon for one hour. If you depend for
your living upon daily, weekly or monthly wages, you will
find ample employment in BURLINGTON within a few
months. If you continue to work in Portland you can reach
this city in less time by the UNITED RAILWAYS than
you can from most of the newly-platted additions to Port
land. The fare is a little more, but the service a great deal
better and the surroundings so much superior that there is
scarcely room for comparison. If you are able to engage
in a small mercantile business, BURLINGTON invites you.
Truly this industrial center has more to offer you than any
other location.
SPECIAL
SUNDAY
EXCURSION
The officials of the United Rail
ways have added sufficient equip
ment to conveniently handle 5000
people today between Burlington
and Portland. A special rate of
25c for the round trip will be in
force all day. Trains leave the
Chamber of Commerce building
every hour from 6:15 to 11:15 A.
M. and from 1 to 6 P. M. Judg
ing from the experience of last
Sunday, it will be advisable for
those who seriously contemplate a
location in Burlington to leave on
the morning train, avoiding the
afternoon crowds.
The Man With Larger Means
able to buy, build and maintain a substantial suburban or
country home, cannot realize, until he has investigated the
vicinity of BURLINGTON, what magnificent opportunities
for palatial homes the hillsides of this new town have to
offer. Think of it 1 Thirty minutes from BURLINGTON to
the Chamber of Commerce building; commutation passen
ger rates that are very low; frequent car service and rapid
transportation ; all the conveniences of the citv, such as
electric light, water and graded streets. BURLINGTON,
in fact, possesses every opportunity that you will find in
Portland with the added pleasures that suburban living
implies. Whether you prefer to locate your home amongst
the trees, in the valley, on the hilltop, on some inspiring
point, on a devious trail through the woods, or along a nmz
nificent automobile highway; whether along the UNITED
RAILWAYS or the Northern Pacific, by the side of a dash
ing mountain brook, on the hillside, or a pleasant level
plateau, your chance for selection is bewildering, providing
you choose your ground now. At the present time any choice
is practically open for you, while a few weeks hence you
will be compelled to make your selection from what is left.
Hence, the opportunity.
Take Your Lunch
