It was a pleasurable task to design GOLF PARK.
Every suggestion of the topographer worked out to
a charm. GOLF PARK was one property although
flat, with a slight incline toward the Willamette, that
loaned itself with easy grace to the most approved
id cas of suburban platting. Its winding streets are a
relief; its. Greek style of street lighting makes noon
day of midnight; its wide parkings and far stretch
ing, magnificent and inspiring building sites all
impress one with the grandeur of real home environ
ment. Tho most satisfying part of offering" GOLF
PARK to tho particular buyer of Homebuilding -property
is that we cannot overstate the facts. Everybody
returns, saying: "It's far better than it'is portrayed
in your advertisements."
Have you seen GOLF PARK yet? You may remem
ber it when it was a part of the splendid greensward
that served as golf links. But, today,, all improved,
it is one of the most pleasing spots in Portland. Motor
out today, if it's pleasant, 10 u 11 enjoy it.
