1 X THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL. PORTLAND. SUN&AY MORNING, ' MAY 17. 1908. f ! t ( ! t We ncfiii lilaveYoM uoteH Mo M tan Y-ou ee BeyondYour . Nose! . :- Have you watched the development of Portland and Willamette Heights in the last three years and the enormous increase in realty values without realizing that all these hills are destined to be the finest residence section in the city when they get' adequate car service?; The history of all large cities proves that the better class always go to the hills, and Portland people are just commence j ing to appreciate their exceptional oppor tunities. Where is there another city with such beautiful hillsides so close to the. busi ness center or presenting one half the mag nificent scenery to be found there? , The Oregon Electric Railroad runs along the hills in Southern Portland and is bringing that section within from 8 to 12 minutes of the business district do you know what that means? And it is only a question of a short time before many mag nificent homes will be built there. Property values there now are extremely low, rang ing from $350 to $750 per lot (less than one half what they were 20 years ago with one fourth the present population), and now is the time to buy. Remember that it is only about two and one half years since lots could be bought on Portland Heights for from $500 to $750 which today are worth from $2,000 to $5,000. Why not buy something while you can get it for less than one fourth its real value. . Office at Fulton Park Opposite .Oregon Electric Depot H JOHNSON Pulton -ParR This addition was platted ' and placed on - the market nearly 20 years ago and lots brought as high as $1,000 then. The view here is simply mag nificent, and there nothing finer on Portland ' Heights for less than $5,000. A number of years ago a very inefficient carline ran through Fulton Park, but upon the consolidation of all the city lines, this one was abandoned, leaving Fulton Park high and dry with absolutely no car service. Con sequently, realty values "dropped there and there has been little development in 15 years. However,, the Oregon Electric Railroad runs right through the center of this tract, so that now this section, has nothing to keep it from taking its natural posi tion as one of the most desirable sites for a home" in the city. 'I have been handluig Portland Heights property for over two years and am certain that the development of Fulton Park will be fully as startling as the Heights has been. I have opened ' an office there and have a large amount of this property listed at most attractive prices. Call and see me at any time. What is more to the point,", is that several people who made good money out ; of Heights property are investing at Fulton Park now. Don't wait until too late investigate now.
