THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL. PORTLAND. WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH u V.-:.;- ) :;:rlK:.:h ; NO BUSINESS MAN, if he be a business man in the strict sense of the word, will overlook an investment that has all the chances of profit in it as against not a single possibility of failure. That fully describes Rose City Park; The price, location, im :l piovements and all else considered, Rose City Park is a gilt edged investment for any business man. But, aside from the investment ' feature, there are scores of business men in Portland who are paying rent. They do not own their own homes.: Rose City Park i offers them opportunity that will seldom be overtaken in the course of their busy lives. If any of the business men of this city have ever considered the advisability of building a home, they will do wisely to take a trip to Rose City Park, look it over and see if their idea of a home would not be immensely enthused by the thought of builcling in RoseCityFark..: , At any rate, it would oe a splendid stroke of policy to take a ride out and see it.- , : " : -. ; ; ' :'', ':'; i - '' ) -..V.

If she be industrious, economical and inclined to take advantage of financial gain, in a small way, or if she has intentions of some time owning her own home, she can easily arrange to purchase a lot in Rose City Park. By practicing the strictest kind of domestic economy, without inconveniencing herself in the least, such a young lady should be able to provide herself with ample clothing, board, room and amusement on less than $35 a month. This would net her a saving of $15 per month. By purchasing a $400 lot in Rose City Park she would be amply able to meet : her monthly payment of $12 and have a little laid aside for emergency. . If not alone for the satisfaction of owning property of her own, this young lady, within six months, could readily dispose of the lot for double what she paid for it. We are certain that a visit to Rose City Park will convince any stenographer of this. THE TRAVELING MAN, as a rule, seejmore opportunities for the - quick turning of his rnoneyinahmo8t people in business life. Many of them have seen Rose City Park and purchased lots there. Some of them, being away from their homes the greater part of their time, have thought fully provided a lot upon which to build a nice little home for their family. Accustomed, at all times, to the rumble of the train, the hustle and noise of commercial life, they have been quickly attracted by the homelike fea- tures of Rose City Park. Their testimony as to : ; ; the desirability of Rose City Park as a residence 1 location is appreciated as much as that of any- ; body else. Quick to note the opportunity of making an investment with the promise of quick . returns, many others have bought for that rea-H son. "There is not a successful traveling man on theroad today that cannot 1 well afford to pur- . hoods. They often see the opportunity of excellent ; mvestments without possessing the resources to at tempt them. This is not true of Rose City Park. Street railway employes have already recognized the , Inducements offered at Rose City Park. While many of them may not be able to build within the restric tions imposed by the building clause, they count upon buying now and selling before their payments have matured. Thus, with a small investment, perhaps less than $100, spent in a period of six months, they :- r ; . may be able to dean up a profit of $500. Others, less ; attracted by the investment feature, will decide to avail themselves of the opportu-; nity offered by the Building Association. These men, mostly family men, seek for a home for their wives and children, with quiet and.elcgant surroundings, and v ill bend every energy in the direction of making a home first and letting the invest ments come later in life. .- . . . -' chase two lots and take care of the-payments on them until they are sold. Many of them will have sold out at a profit of 100 per cent before the lots are half paid for. ; BANK CLERKS ARE PARTICULARLY and quickly impressed by safe in- ; yestments. Their keenness in this regard is largely responsible for their success in k liriM in wh!rh thev are emnloved ' Several of Portland's leadinfir bank clerks - have invested in Rose City Park. Their judgment Is good and their gains will be their reward. Real estate is the basis of all value and they know that Rose City Park, being in the city limits and about to be greatly im proved, will never be worth less than it is right now; the chances are 1000 to 1 that it will increase in value daily at a startling rate. Many bank clerks have already planned -to build and there promises to be quite a colony of them before the summer is over. There is no more desirable neighbor than an employe of a banking institution. Their relations with the public make them responsive to every public need and their natures have been molded, to a large extent, in the direction of courtesy and good fellowship, while conservatism plays a large part. BOOKKEEPERS ARE WELL PAID and lots of them spend a large percentage of their wages In rent. If this class of young men and women could be impressed with the idea of the extravagance of rent paying they would welcome the opportunity of build ing a home of their own. . Up to this time it has1een difficult for them to find such an opportunity. : Rose City Park, fortunately, for about the first time in Portland, provides it Any bookkeeper may purchase a lot and if he is financially unable to build himself a home he will probably be pleased to know that an association has been organized for that very purpose. Hundreds of homes will be erected, in Rose City Park this summer and scores of bookkeepers will be among the number. The wages of a bookeeper are such that he can easily handle a lot at Rose City Park. Even though he has no disposition to build at present the profit that will accrue from his holdings will amply justify him in buying. It's an opportunity that he cannot well afford to overlook.
