It is where the' main line of the. O. R. ,& N.' Railroad
intersects the main line of tne Harriman system to the
Sound.- It is a grade crossing, consequently every
train over the Harriman system to the Sound, to the
Stockyards "and over the main line of the 0. R. & N.
Railroad, must pass over and stop at McKenna Junction
Astonishing Generosity
July, 1907, we withdrew all our property at Uni
versity Park from the market because we learned what
was coming to pass this year. We knew that the things
that would take place this year would double, treble,
yes, quadruple every foot of land we owned at Univer
sity Park. We have always been generous to our
patrons. We never made an advance in prices on our
lots without advertising the proposed advance and
giving our friends an opportunity to buy before the
advance.
FOR A FEW DAYS ONLY we will offer all,
except our reserve block, at the price at which we ad
vertised lots during July, 1907. Don't delay. The
number of lots we will let go at these prices will not
last long. Will not sell to exceed 100-foot front to one
person. Residence lots $10 per front foot up to $15
per foot for "choice business locations. Ten per cent
cash, $10 monthly on one lot and $5 additional for each
additional lot. No interest if each installment be paid
whe,n or before due.
Occupies the center of the great Peninsula. It has
McKenna Junction and Maegly Junction on the north,
St. Johns on the northwest, Peninsula Mills and dry
dock on the west, Columbia University and University
Lumber Mills on the southwest. It is surrounded, by
swarms of industries along the navigable water front. s
It has over 500 school children enrolled in its public
school. It is supplied with water from Mount Hood,
the best on earth. It has the only system of boulevards
in the city of Portland. It has every convenience of
a modern city. The big stockyards and packing-houses
are located near by but northeast, A DIRECTION .
FROM WHENCE THE WINDS NEVER BLOW.
Members of the Realty Board and those who
are regularly engaged in the real estate business;
will be paid a commission on sales they make
for me.
