The Dunn-Lavrence Co. . ; S48 ALDER STREET ; , J The Peninsula Has What the Manufacturer Wants This is the reason why the , foundation for so much ' activity is now being laid on-the Peninsula, and this is also the reason why we advise you to buy at McKENNA JUNCTION now and realize the profit out of the certain advance. On the Peninsula there is not only water and rail, but a, vast territory at hand over which growing manufacturing plants.can.be expanded. These are the ; things that appeal to the kings of industry. v i V JUNGnON; Holds aTpositlonrthat 'caflnbt'help bein 'affected by.the earliest 'developments following, the Swift-Armour pack - ing plant and the extensive railroad-building now under way. , It therefore offers the most excellent opportunity for the small investor that has occurred on- the entire coast . in years.' The Peninsula has long been considered the , ideal situation for manufacturers of all classes.' It holds the logical situation for water-shipping to and from all points inland and on the opeir water. The obstacle' has , been the want of better railroad facilities, and these are now a reality attracted by the - greatest of assured en terprises. .; "-;-.x-'v ' ' ' ' .'. Editorial Thunder Some Portland attractions Why large manufactur ing concerns are coming to the Peninsula J " There are many factors contributing to this admirable situation. For such plants as Swift & Co. Portland is the largest distributing center in the .Pacific northwest. It is located at the footbf a water-level route r which is now used by three transcontinental railroads. It is the gateway of and is the trading-point for the great Willam- v ette valley and the . vast Columbia basin two agricul tural districts which contain a productive area in the ag gregate fouV times as large as thathich is tributary to,; Puget sound. Both in available supplies of raw materials . and in transportation facilities for distributing the manu-. factured products arid massing the raw material, Port land offers to the big packers inducements that are miss--ing from any other, location. For these reasons the Swift plant is here; and pthers will follow. ri;pport!ifflly Look around you, and see what has occurred, at St Johns, where lots went from $100 tq $10,000 in three, , years. Some men high in railroad circles predict that ; lots how being offered by us for $500 will bring $25,000 before five years. - - . . - ; What we look for: has been repeated, over, and over ; again in Kansas City, Chicago, Ctoha, Buffalo Sioux. City, etc:, and none of the environments of these cities was started under more promising conditions. ' .. . The city map will show you how necessary McKENNA JUNCTION townsite is to the industrial situation on the : Peninsula. ' McKENNA JUNCTION is on Columbia . Boulevard, at the approach of the tunnel which is' to be driven through Dana street under University Park; Where . . the main line of the O. H. & N. intersects the main line of f ' the Harriman system to the sound.' Jt is a grade cross . ing, and consequently every train over ithe Harriman . system to the sound, to the stockyards and over the main line of the O. R. & N..vmust, pass - over, and. stop;, at McKENNA JUNCTION. Here isa-lareg tract of land has been reserved for railroad yards, and depot tracks to;f ? the Swift site are now being put down. ' . Remember that on .May 1 $285 lots will be" advanced $15 per lot. ' Come out today Take St.; Johns car and ' get off at Goddard Station and you will find my office.
