Contrary to the general cus tom of waiting for th sjrowth of par ticular lines of trsde, several manu farturers have come here in the aZ year and have established factories for the purpose of developing a . market for their lines of goods. .

With realty dealers and operators making more sales than for nearly two years, builders crowded with the con struction of hundreds of new homes, scores of business buildings of all class es going up, more street Improvement m progrese miui ever uerore, ana, prac tically every manufacturing plant oper ating to full capacity, buHlneBS condi tions in Portland are 'without doubt most encouraging. But-better than all these is the indication everywhere of a continuation of this prosperous period, giving to the public boundless Confi dence. 1 A leading broker makes the asser tion that the situation has Improved to such an extent that It ia ho longer essential that a salesman be experienced In order to consummate a realty deal - "There are more people In Portland today who are ready to buy property than ever before. , They are in that mood becauae they feel that no better investment can be made than tho pur chase of Portland . . real eatate,"-said he. "Nor is the public laboring- under delusion, nlgns or prosperity are on every hand, and the man who buys to day is the man who will reap, the re- war or bts roresight. . . ' Qood times are being experienced by all the operators in suburban home tracts.- Prosperity Is their watchword. They say a big tidal wave of it is fathering force and that It promises to reak all records. Builders are busy in all these dis tricts. In even the latest of these ad ditions to be put sn the. market, the sound of the hammer and saw is heard, while In some ofy the older suburban tracta, scores of new buildings are un der construction. Plentiful money and steady revival in general . business jnake the foundation for this home bullding movement. In Portland, the immense increase of - population; the movement of homes eekers from the miauie west, targe numbers of whom re coming to Portland and other parts of Oregon, and of course the extensions and promised extensions of . transit lines In the 6 cent fare district are the chief forces acting for expansion and development of outlying lands. Suburban and local inquiry for prop erties are responsible for numerous i trtj-.erers made . during-. In past two weeks, the total having reached the aggregate of over 9100,000 per day. In the city proper, brokers ' have . re ported sales amounting to imany thou-, sands of dollars, while ths owners and agents of out of town tracts here ex perienced an unusually heavy demand for , their properties. Realty dealers express more opti mism for the immediate future of this city than they have at any time for the past 18 or 24 montha. -Everything, they-declare, '.is working In the inter ests of their business .The reduction in the prices of building materials has operated great y to . the advantage- of the realty -dealrai- the easing w of the money market and the steady increase of population from month to month are important factors in the present heavy demand for ' realty. Then, too, the huge sums to be XDondod by tho city in all classes of municipal im provements has added. no small amount or seat to the local real eatate mar ket. While fisrures are not obtainable at the present giving tbe amount to be expended this year in public improve ments, it Is probably no exaggeration to say that 15,000,000 will ko into street and park lmDrovementa before January V-liU - - -- - ' Portland la . steadily maklns: addt- ditlons' to its huge factory pay rolls,; One or two enterprises of more than ordinary importance have recently ac- I quired sites, and hardly a .week passes I without the announcement of a new factory of some character being located ! here.

UILLINGSVORTII HisMford . . . - i i Coming True i For a quarter of a century I h.Ae announced the certainly of I'ortland foecomiji tbe larg est commercial city on the Pa cific coast and that greater Portland, when built, would be located on the matchles table land between the rivers. Many scoffed attthe idea; now they 11 see the" handwriting on the . wall. The extensive operations . on the peninsula tell the story most eloquently of the supre macy of this location. Just think of it: Only a few years ago a dense forest covered this entire territory; now dotted .with beautiful homes, and which ( now has under construction the largest school building on the. Pacific coast, costing over $250,000. It will be known as the Jefferson high school, lo cated on WALNUT PARK BLOCKS, hence commands a central location for GREATER PORTLAND. I'V'iM;.. I. tr A POINTER Millions of dollars will be made in the next few years by the for tunate investors in the land between the. rivers, and should you desire a homesite, the best in Portland, I would advise you to investigate WALNUT PARK before making: your selection. My excuse for' advertising, if one is necessary, is contained in the following truism; A man having anything to sell Whispering the fact down a well.
