Why? You will probably answer the question by saying that there is an Electric Railway being projected and sure to be built through that section. True. But you ask one of these investors and he will tell you that the fundamental reason is Because the land is worth the money anyway, and while the speculative chance exists it does not form the basis for the investment. Also that the fact that the land is worth the money aside from its speculative value cuts out the element of risk. YOU CAN MAKE BIG INTEREST on the money invested by buying real estate now in Thompson’s Addition to Gresham labor 180 :: Why ? Why ? AjAO INVEST in real estate is an absolutely sure and safe investment. You may put your money in the bank; the bank fails, you lose all 1 you have. You may invest in stocks and bonds. Somethin? comes into the business world and destroys the security on which these bonds are based, your money goes the way of many such speculations. You may even build you a great business block upon some fine corner business lot you may have. Along comes the relentless fire and your fine business block is gone. But, ah 1 you notice you have something left,—your REAL ESTATE, that fine business lot! You may put your money into what promises to be an excellent busi­ ness, but you overlook some important detail, your business goes to pieces, your money is gone and you have nothing left. But you invest your money in real estate and you have something always. Fire will not bum it, and if you so will it you can have that something always. Now while the investments first spoken of are going on, said investments are enhancing the value of your town property in proportion. Conditions are creating demands that Gresham will have to satisfy. The great fine farms and undeveloped lands are passing into hands that will cut them up into small tracts and they will be sold to a people who will make this the garden spot of the world. Where there was but one family there will be twenty tr> forty families. With these will come to Gresham greater mercantile establishments and consequently a great in­ crease in the value of Gresham real estate. OW you will have to acknowledge that Thompson'« Addition to Gresham is by far the finest building site in Gresham today. Its natural beauty, its natural drainage,—an extremely important fact,—puts this Addition far to the front as a home-building site. Ground all under cultivation; no stones, no gravel, but all deep, rich soil. N We are selling these lots CHEAP This fact is acknoweledged by prudent, careful investors. How many times have you said, “How I wish I had bought such and such a lot!” when some addition first opened up ? Don’t say this about ThoitipHon'M Addition, but take advantage of past ex­ perience and buy now and you won’t have to say it. Lost opportunity never returns!
