AVe want a common sense, straight from the shoulder talk with that man about a great real estate success. We want to show him how it will pay him to be a iart of that success. We will talk facts, plainly and directly, and we hope that every working man, every clerk and every small merchant and store keeper in the Calumet District will listen. To begin with, everybody in the Calumet District knows something of the tremendous success we have had with our Calumet Addition to East Chicago. Sales of $127,000 in one dayOf $270,000 in one week! All realty selling records of the past smashed to smithereens! But not everybody knows WHY we have succeeded. Xot everybody knows the underlying cause. Not everybody understands wiry this success will continue must continue can not be prevented from continuing. Xot everybody sees why our real estate will pile up constand profits for the purchasers for many years to come. Xot everybody realizes that thus far only the first chapter of the story of fortunes in our real estate have been written. The upward movement of values has just started. Read on, and we will tell why. . The backbone of our real estate success is LOCATION. It is the universal law of real estate that values always go highest at the CENTER of things always highest at the hub of human activities. AND THE HUB OF COMMERCE, INDUSTRY AND MANUFACTURING OF THE CALUMET DISTRICT LIES AT THE POINT WHERE WE ARE OPERATING. Another thing that helps our project to success is that wc are worknig in harmony with big forces in city building;. Giant industries surround us on all sides. : A dozen great railroad companies are working to aid our project. Wc have the best transportation service that can be created. Every agency for city development and industrial growth is in harness for our benefit and that of every real estate owner in our subdivisions. Besides perfect location and the active help of the powerful forces, which give cities growth and importance, we are successful because we are properly organized to carry out our work of development. We have ample capital to finance our project. We have able and experienced men to direct it, and so we can adopt and follow broad policies of selling which will give the greatest benefit and satisfaction to our customers. Xow as to the small investor and his opportunities here today. You know, if you have been in the Calumet District long, that every new real estate movement gives to the investor an op
