THE OREGON ' SUNDAY JOURNAU PORTLAND, SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE 0, 1007. I p. ft. . THE TS.UTE-3 ADOUT I 1 If : vVHY? THE REASON El 1 MQME A.. ;.-. An eastern business man recently arrived in Portland and irnme- diately began the search for a home for his family. He was ' ' toasted,' coaxed and advised to buy here and there, though he had ' V visited many sections of the city he did not feel thoroughly satis- , fied. When asked the reason he replied: "I haven't found just I. "the location." This is the key to every man's business forethought. a v Location is everything when you are buying a home. ; 1 v t ; : '.,.: ' WITHIN FOUR YEARS Portland will have 100,000 more people'. v , More than 80 per cent will go to the east side to live. Only those - V , 7 - who can . afford to buy the 'most expensive property will remain west of the river. ' ' .. THE LOCATION OF A HOMESITE is what pure strengthening food is to the growth of a child. If it does not develop in value it is not the right place for your money, In such a case your money . " would earn more in the bank at a small rate of interest. ?.: ' IP YOU WILL STOP AND THINK how some of the thickly settled ad- "ditions have doubled atid trebled in value in the past two years, then unroll the realty map of Portland and examine each tract now-bn the market. After ' a careful examination of each property with a care to all the home and in vestment requisites you will readily understand why IRVINGTON PARK with its 100-foot Boulevard, its wide parked streets, its pure Bull Run water, the excellent lay of the land, the easy accessibility to the heart f Portland, the car line now .building to the very heart of the property, is and will always ' be the iest by all odds as a home investment for you, your family and your capital.

It lies on bpth sides of , .the Sandy Road, a diagonal artery, leading straight to the heart of down town. Rose City Park extends In an easterly direction to the city limits, about four miles from the heart of merity.;;;-;' ITS PHYSICAL , FEATURES. Rose City Park is as level as a bilHard table. There is one irregularity in topography, which extends from southeast to northwest through the addition. This is what is known as' the; 200-foot level. Southwest of this - beautiful terrace, the' land is a few feet lower, although .high enough to command an - admirable view of Portland from almost any spot None of the land is low; none of it is lower than 150 feet above sea level. , ' . -ITS IMPROVEMENTS. The price of the lot Includes the improvements that are mentioned here. All of the streets are being graded to the level authorized by the city - engineer. Most of this work has been done; a great deal is still under way. Cement 4 ... ' sidewalks will be lajd throughout the addition. These walks are of the finest grade and v f - will last a' long time. The water mains'are nearly all in. Thismeahscity water as- ' soon as you wish it These improvements are all included in the price your pay for your . : lot, which is a littfe more than you can get in any other piece of property now on sale, r TRANSPORTATION. Rose City Park-now has fifteen-minute car service to the heart of the city. Cars run every fifteen minutes. : The course is down Sandy. Road to -Twenty-eighth street and then on the regular line of the East Ankeny cars, i This is a temporary service, pending the 'construction of the direct line down Sandy Road to its ! ' western end. When the new service is completed, there will be no more direct service in the city of Portland. ' ' , v , j! PRICES. Hartman & Thompson have thought best to cater to popular demand ' for popular prices. Lots are for sale at prices varying from $400 to $650. At these; . figures, some of the best locations imaginable are to be had now. While it is true that . they are going rapidly,'it is also true. at.th ere are so many lots in the 1,000 acres, that it will not be difficult for any one to secure a lot in a most excellent location. TERMS. In order to make it possible for any one to build a home, it was thought best to make the terms for the payment of the property as easy as consistent: with the , ideal location. . Therefore, any one who ., will pay 10 per cent of the purchase price down and agree to pay 3 per 'cent a month, may get a lot in Rose City Park, located anywhere -x they may select. " , ; , " ' : " ' " ; SCENERY. We have said much about scenery. After all, jwe admit that this Is a matter of individual preference. Some people like mountain, sope plain, some forests, ' some hills, and other various kinds. But all must agree the most sublime scenery is the natural kind. It is immaterial what kind of scenery you prefer, Rose City Park has a variety that will please the most particular. The best way .to satisfy yourself on this point is to view Rose City Park yourself. It is possible to buy a lot and build a home so ; that the front windows will overlook the cityof Portland "while the rear ones will open , upon the grandeur of Mount Hood and the Cascade Range. . V - . AND' FINALLY-See Rose City" Park for yourself. ' Whether you buy or-not, . you will have had the satisfaction of gazing' upon Portland's coming exclusive resi dence district in its infancy More people have seen Rose City Park than have seen all other additions to Portland combined. More people nave bought their home locations . . there; been better satisfied there; decided to build there and feel better about it. It is truly, me opportunity of a lifetime for the average' man. .,'.'' , We will be pleased to take you out per- . sonally and show you the tremendous . advantages that Rose City , Park has over Jv, ;r the balance of the city. 4 f. ,,ii; -?'f : :?xrV:K' f Chamber of Commerce Ground Floor ' . v
