The Greatest Savings Bank The greatest savings bank in the world has proven to be in Real Estate, in rapidly growing manufacturing centers. There is no faster growing industrial center on earth than on both sides of the Detroit River. There is no better place on earth to invest a part of your savings than right in this district. And why is it? Because the greatest manufacturers in the world have invested multiplied millions here, in land and factories. We cannot question these men’s ability and wise judgment in selecting this district for their mammoth plants, and if it’s profitable for them to spend millions in factories, IT CERTAINLY WOULD BE A WISE MOVE FOR YOU TO OWN A FEW LOTS NEAR THEM. For, where manufacturing industries locate, Real Estate values go up and up, ON ACCOUNT OF THE RAPID INCREASE IN POPULATION. Now is the time to buy, because you can purchase our close-in lots now on the easy payment plan, that in a reasonable length of time will be worth double and treble what you pay for them. The United States Steel Corporation has already broken ground for their mammoth plant at Ojibway, directly opposite West Detroit. Our property adjoins it, and right in line for first development. There is no better place to invest a part of your savings than right here. The location speaks for itself. The land adjoins the Steel Corporation. It is four and one-half miles from the City Hall of Detroit, a city of over seven hundred thousand, four blocks from the Town Limits of Sandwich, adjoins Windsor, Walkerville and Ford with a combined population of over 45,000, within walking distance and a few’ minutes by street car of over 100 manufacturing industries, in Windsor, Walkerville and Sandwich, and directly across the river from Detroit’s greatest manufacturing district.
