No one piece of improvement has
done more for its surroundings than has
the Pullman Auto Company's establish

little more than a ruin; today it pre

The Pullman Auto company finds a
large field of operation, receiving orders
from points all along the coast.
One of the most attractive office
suites in the city Is that of Bpanton at
Co, real estate dealers, in the com
monwealth building. Mr. Bpanton came
to Portland from the eaat a month or
two ago, and finding Portland real
estate the beat proposition he had seen
in the west decided to remain and con
vert others te his belief. Mr. Bpanton
says that Portland real estate Is the
cheapest on the market and the In
crease in value the most rapid. It la
no uncommon thing for a 1 10.004 In
vestment" to bring llt.000 in two and
three months' time. l
"Just mark my words," ssid Mr.
Bpanton. "and remember that I said It
this seventh day of January. 1107: One
year-from today every lot -from "Fif
teenth street down to the river will
have advanced to per cent: and that's
about half the mark I honestly think it
will reach. - The east - side . between
Sixth street and .the river Is bound Uo
build up with hsndsome business blocks
rapidly, as It stands to reason the esst
side people' will always prefer to do
business on their own side of the river."
