Mr. Jacobs has Just returned from '
a prolonged visit lo southern California
where tha building of dwelling In large
number a by cooperative conatrucllon)
companies haa been reduced lo a sclenra.
Wtille there he mada a study of tba
mdtnods of thesa bonding companies
and aa a result of his Investigation re
turnei to Portland convinced that Port
land could never become a home-own-Ing
city. In tha truest sense of the word
except through the aid of such cooperat
ing building companies as have mada
Los Angslrs one of the leading home
owning cities In tbe country.
While telling something of tha opera
tions of the companies In Los Angeles,
Mr. Jsrobs said:
"It la the experience of every large
building company, that they are able to
build a better house and sell it on easy
terms, making a fair profit, than In
dividual, ara able to build for them
selves. This I owing lo tha fact that
In material and conatrucllon they are
able to get the best of work L low
er price than the Individual contrac
tor. "Every day Individuals who hava
bought Iota from us, coma Into our of
fice seeking a loan In order le Improve
their property with cottage or bun
alows. The demand became ao great
that we decided to organise a separata
company lo handle that Una of nasi

As Against Your Position and Earnings
It's a subject, Mr. Wage-Earncr,that interests you personally and we want
to ask you a personal question: How much better off apt you than last year,
and the year before that? Even -though your, wages may be a. little higher,
haven't your expenses more than kept pace with that increase?
No' matter, how systematic a saver you rriay be, unless your savings are put
where they will earn something for you; you'll find that your bank account
grows exceedingly slow. . And this denying yourself and family of many things
that they should have in order to "lay; by. for the rainy day,", together with
the requirements of youp ' position, the exacting of your time ' and knowledge
every working day in the year, soon begins to tell on you. - ; -
Tbe best incentive to persistent and systematic saving is theldesire to get "a
home. AVe believe we "nave the very' best kind of a proposition and one that will
appeal to y6u. It's a TEN' ACRE TARCT of rich farm and orchard land down '
at COLUMBIA ACRES. Our plan is to help you to become the -owner of 10
acres our liberal time payments make this possible. For instance, we offer
you ,'.'''. . w . i-J., ':' '
A $400 TRACT OF 10, ACRES on the terms of $40 DOWN" and $10 MONTHLY
A $500 TRACT OF 10 ACRES on the terms of $50 DOWN and $12 MONTHLY
A $600 TRACT OF 10 ACRES on the terms of $60 DOWN and $15 MONTHLY '
And "there's these advantages and facilities for your consideration:
COLUMBIA ACRES is. advantageously located,,two and one-half miles from
the Columbia -and! steamboat landing; at .Goblc, Or., reached by a' good macadam
rpad; waters procurable on every tract! rich; productive" soil, f fee from rock and
