EAST SIOE SHOWS ous GR017TI1 unn'i liUitU Steady Demand for Building - Sites in All Sections . East of Eiver. . The Columbia Trust company, agents for Wlberg Heights, one of the choice east side additions, reports a steady demand for lots in the central east side district. O. I Ferris, secretary of the company, has the following to say of the general condition of the market In east side property: , . . "in our opinion this portion' of the city is destined to f urnisb. homes for the great bulk of the city's population and the thousands of building lots that are now on the market In this section will In a few years be graced by the finest residences of the city. It is now a raeognised fact that these new tracts that have been placed on the market in the last year oriso, with high class building restrictions and with the best of clvio Improvements, furnish to home builders the choicest and most avail able sites to-be found in the city of Portland on which they can establish glomes. " V' ' V . "We have repeatedly told purchasers In Wlberg Heights that -with the view tbere afforded and the high class char acter of .the. improvements, with the good class of residences that the build ing . restriction. Insures that - it would ultimately be ' a veritable paradise for home loving people. We Delleve that the home buyer can lust as well buy In a locality where his residence -property will enhance In value, as to buy where there is no likelihood of . this. The class of property now on the mar ket in central East Portland must In crease In -value steadily by reason of its location,' restrictions and Improve ments. ....':..;....,:.!.. . "Buyers In Wlberg Heights, placed on the market just a year- ago, have al ready seen values Increase beyond their fondest expectations. We have buyers who have been paying on thlr lots less than four or five months who consider their- Investment good for over f 100 profit Bo it is in all sections of this central East Portland. Wlberg Heights buyers in three or four years will have the same experience as those who bought early In other east side addi tions where values have increased about 60 per cent a year. We have the great est faith in thie portion of the iOlty and never hesitate to advise those rho are looking for choice locations to buy In this section."
