On this Addition Unmis- lul takable signs of Oil have been discovered and a company is forming to fully test the matter by putting down a well and this company will be fin­ ancially able to bore to any depth. 2d An Excellent Spring of Water on these grounds is not only excellent mineral water but is found to be specially good for RHEUMATISM ; Hence 0W we have something to tell you that is of interest to every reader who owns a few dollars, and that man who thinks this is a fake advertisement is the man who is going to get left in this matter. Just before the discoveries spoken of were made we had contracted with the owners of this property to sell the lots in this Thompson’s alditition for SO MUCH PER LOT NO MORE, and NO LESS. If this con­ tract did not exist THIS PROPERTY WOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE MARKET in the NEXT FIFTEEN MINUTES. Why? Because the speculative value of the land is up 1000 PER CENT. But our CONTRACT DOES EXIST and as under it we cannot make one more dollar, no matter how much oil or health giving water may be found. Therefore, for reasons known to ourselves we intend to give to purchasers this great speculative chance. Just suppose for a moment oil should be found in paying quantities—and we doubt not that it will be- you could not buy for a thousand dollars what it happens under our contract we may give you for a hundred. Now it has been known that this country about Gresham is in the oil belt, and it is believed by people who have Been these oil signs—and these people say they are experts along this line—that oil can be found on this addition at no great depth, but no matter whether found on this land7 but anywhere near Gresham, the lots in this addition would enhance in value enormously. The CHANCE of GREAT PROFITS EXISTS, BECAUSE WE HAVE THIS PROPERTY TIED UP, and are able to sell it to you at a price that is perfectly just as \ 3d Bottling Works of huge proportions, a Bath House and immense Sanatorium is being planned and said plans are being figured upon. based upon the actual value of the land, cutting out the speculative value. So, if oil is not found, your own REAL WORTH is there anyway. But because of these discoveries we predict that the purchasers of these lots will reap the greatest crop of profits ever cut in this country, and all because we happened to tie up this property at stipulated prices for lots before these new features came up. Now you may hear that none of this is true, and if you do hear it, it will be STRONG PROOF to you that what WE TELL YOU IS TRUE. You see the point: Our contract runs out some time. Our contract calls for the sale of these lots at certain prices according to location. In order to run no risk of breaking this contract, we certainly will adhere strictly to the letter of the contract, the terms of which are: 1st—Two and one-half per cent discount when cash is paid in full. 2nd When sold on contract, 40 per cent cash as first payment; balance on easy payments as per contract. 3d On payments in full a good and sufficient deed is given. We could interest men of wealth in this proposition and sell them this whole tract, but that would not make one more dollar by so doing. So, for certain sat sfactory reasons we propose to give this chance to reap big profits to the people. We earnestly advise EARLY SELECTIONS, and don’t he afraid to buy any lot in this addition. Whether laying up high or in the more broken places, all of them will be GOOD. Sec us early. THE RELIABLE REAL ESTATE AGENCY Room 32, Washington Building PORTLAND, OREGON And Our Office GRESHAM,OREGON
