Strange , r- ; J f.vavxfvi1, 'fit' (A TRUE STORY) A man in this town was DEEPLY INTERESTED iri the purchase of a HOMESITE IN WESTOVER TER RACES. He visitea the property EVERY DAY, DAY AFTER DAY. He MADE UP HIS MIND to two things: WESTOVER TERRACES is the BEST residence prop erty in Portland; My ONLY DIFFICULTY is in SELECTING A LO CATION. A few days later he was asked to MAKE UP HIS MIND to another proposition namely, THAT HE WOULD BUY A SITE. His reply: "No', not today. My brother-in-law will visit me next week. He has MADE A FORTUNE in real estate just east of the Rockies. I will TAKE HIM OUT TO WESTOVER TERRACES and ask HIS opin ion. If he says to BUY, I will BUY. If he says not to buy, I Will NOT buy." My salesman tried in every way to get Mr. Portlahder to MAKE UP HIS OWN MIND and leave the BROTHER-IN-LAW BUSINESS out of consideration. Nothing doing. Mr. Brother-in-Law was to be JUDGE, and JURY. , . .. . . Well, to hiake the story short, the brother-in-law ar rived. He was a well-to-do business man from MON TANA. A STRANGER IN A STRANGE TOWN. Had never visited Portland before in all his life. He was escorted to WESTOVER TERRACES by ond of my salesmen and the prospective buyer. He was shown the various sites upon which Mr. Pbrtlander had" made up his mind SEVERAL TIMES, and changed as many. What Was the result? Mr. Montana said, "Is this site' for sale next td my brother's?" "Yes," replied rhy salesman. "I'll TAKE IT MYSELF," said Mr. Montana. A stranger,, seeing WESTOVER TERRAtES F THE FIRST TIME IN HIS LIFE, sees the merit of tU property, and WITHIN FIFTEEN MINUTES after land ing on it he had signed a check for $4500 and went away WITH A DEED IN HIS POCKET. Are Portland people SHORT-SIGHTED? Are they allowing OUTSIDERS to come in here and PICK UP THE SNAPS, right under THIR VERY NOSES, and Walk away "with the goods"? Looks that way, doesn't it? WESTOVER TERRACES IS THE BEST RESI DENCE PROPERTY IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. If you do not BELIEVE it, it is TIME THAT YOU POSTED YOURSELF. If you do not buy while WESTOVER is idling for $4500 a site, you'll NEVER GET IT AT ANYWHERE NEAR THAT PRICE. ivreMODiLe MS.6VTCTO Vi If vXjflojeu- it II , V -.
