J. Frank Watson, President Merchants National Bank, Portland, Oregon. "I have followed closely the course of the market on the " securities of the Home Telephone Companies of Southern California, and they have invariably shown a steady increase in value. After careful consideration, we Invested in the bonds, underwritten by the National , Securities Company of the Home Telephone Companies building in the Pacific northwest." M. P.

The services ren dered by the Independent Telephone Company have been so much superior to what the public had been accustomed to receive that the system and its securities became and have remained deservedly popular. 1 have handled bdrth the stocks and bonds of the Home Telephone Company with great satisfaction and profit." W, C.

A number of our customers and friends have invested in them to a con- ' siderable extent, and. they all appear to be highly pleased with their investments.

Out of the thousands who have purchased from us you cannot find a single individual who has failed to at least double his money. Many have resold at twenty times the price they paid us. Any person who has bought lots from us will tell you we have redeemed every prom ise we made and that our prophecies regard ing increase in values in our various tracts have always come true. We now prophecy that in a short time lots in Bayocean Park will be selling for thou sands of dollars each. These same lots can now be had for from $150 to $450. - Nothing down, $1.50 per week. We believe that our past record is such that you can afford to accept our advice in real estate matters. We advise you to purchase lots in Bayocean Park now before, the raise in price, before the railroad is builryand before the improve ments positively guaranteed, by us are completed. The doubtful ones whbwait until the prop- erty is fully developed are the ones who will purchase later and make your profit for you.
