No other paper gives you more than one-half as much news
of the Cottage Grove country as does The Sentinel.
W here all the good people
are going—
When you go you want to go where all the good
people go. Here’s a sure rule to follow that will land
you there. Get a lot in Manitou Park Addition (along
North Ninth Street), build you a comfortable home,
associate with the other good people that are there, keep
your temper from getting away with you by doing away
with landlord troubles, keep your disposition sweet with
your pleasant surroundings and good neighbors, and
you need not worry about your future life. These lots
are selling rapidly to the very best jieople. Twenty
lots have sold since we took the agency, and the rest
are likely to go rapidly. Four residences now being
constructed. Better see us before the choice selections
arc snapped up.
