PROSPERITY STRENGTHENS
DEMAND FOR REAL ESTATE

With realty dealers and operators
making more sales than for nearly two
years, builders crowded with the con

scores of business buildings of all class
es going up, more street Improvement

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

- "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

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

Coming

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

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.
Will never gain the shining dollars
Like he who climbs a height and hollers.
Here I am, after your dollars, and I intend to give youull value
for every "dollar invested with me. Wake up; we live in a most rapid
age. The child of enterprise today is a grandfather tomorrow.
