THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL PORTLAND, 8UNPAY MORWfWO, OCTOBER 14. 1909. TRUTH BEARS REPEATING Where seven railroads meet the ocean-going vessels of the world must be a great business center. There is no exception to this rule. The Willamette River skirts University Park on the south and west, the Columbia River on the northv with four traiis-continental and three interstate railroads centering in its midst. Railroads The Union Pacific Southern Pacific, Northern Pacific and Great Northern four great trans-continental rail roadscross, recross and surround University Park. The Portland A Seatle, Oregon Railroad ft Navigation Com pany and the Oregon ft Washington Railroad also have lines thru University Park. These railroads are main lines and. not branch line Other Advantages ' University Park is no outside, wildcat speculation. It has been within the city boundaries of Portland for four teen years. It has Bull Run water, a 30-acre public park owned and kept by the city, city schools, quick transpor tation, electric arc street lights, graded streets, cement walks, a building restriction, three systems of wide boule vards, view of Cascade and Coast Ranges of mountains, view of four perpetually snow-covered mountains, high, level and sightly, and the seat of Columbia University. Capitalists lend money freely on University Park lots for building purposes. What Does It Mean? It means that mills, factories, jobbing houses, whole sale houses, banks, hotels, retail stores, business houses of every description, are seeking locations in the vicinity of this bustling center. It means that lots now selling 'for $6 per front foot, or $300 each, will, within a very short time, advance to $100 per front foot, or $6,000 each. Study the Picture Look at the location of the navigable rivers ; look at the location of the railroads .and proposed railroads; look at the street car lines and proposed lines; look at the factory Showing University Park and Vicinity Drawn on an Exact Scale districts, north, south and west; look at the boulevards and wide, streets; see where the drydock. stockyards, packing-houses, lumber mills and the Columbia Univer sity are located. See where McKenna Junction and Maegly Junction are located. You know that it will be only a question of a short time till this condition will make the cheapest lot in University Park worth $100 per front foot Remember Don't forget that lots at St Johns advanced from $100 each to $10,000 each since 1901, and that advance was made on the strength of only one freight spur or branch railroad. St Johns today has no main line, and yet there are lots in St Johns that cannot be bought for less than $10,000 that sold in 1901 for less than $100. Remember also, that in 1900 and 1901 I foretold, thru the col umns of this paper, what would take place In St Johns, and those who followed my advice made big fortunes. Those who will follow my advice now and buy a few lots at University Park within die next 00 days will make big profits within the next three years. Prices and Terms Until October IS we will sell lots $8x100 feet alley back of each, for $150; terms, $10 cash down on each lot balance $4 monthly, or $15 monthly on 100x100. feet No interest on back payment if paid on or before due. Prices will be advanced $85 cm each lot October 15 at 6 p. m. without further notice. Don't miss this oppor tunity to make a safe investment Francis I.
