Don't Sit on the Fence and Watch

the Parade Go By.

Get in the band-wagon yourself. Be a part of the procession. Opportunity is knocking at your door. Wake up and let her in. If Brown, or Smith, or Jones are making money, don't croak and pessimize If they are live ones, why can't, you be? You don't need a barrel of money to get in right. Invest your savings. Buy on the installment plan. Put your shoulder to the . wheel f or your loved ones. Put your dollars in dirt. Don't let them rust. Turn them over. Get some good out of them. Make them do their duty. Real estate is like the prpphet without honor in his own country. People are always snatching at baits in swamp lots in Florida or sand lots in the west. This is your golden opportunity to invest your money at home in lots or acreage about you. It beats stocks and bonds all hollow. Shun the fly-by-night investment, the will-o'-the-wisp of the foxy ad-writer.- Don't be the sucker who bites at the lures of the hired word-painter. Here at home, at your threshold at the gate of the world's metropolis to be, is that great city of Chicago which is crawling down to be a part of us. Get a piece of the expansion! It doesn't matter so much where .you buy in this. region. Take a sling-shot and go out in the open, close rour eyes, shoot, and where your stone falls buy you can't miss it. If your property doesn't advance in value today it will tomorrow. Where the boom is todav, tomorrow it may be in some other part. It will all come to you sometime some day. Nothing can stop the great Calumet Region. No matter whether it be Whiting, East Chicago, Hammond or Indiana Harbor, the strides it has made have been unstoppable. Prices may have dipped as they have, but the climb in the long run has been as immutable as fate. The opening of harbors and waterways now no fancy or dream will send prices up amazingly. Factories unnamed are coming. Every train that stops at our depots bring strangers to invest here; every mail that comes brings letters of inquiry. Buy for your children provide for your old age. In ten years a parcel of ground that you buy now will give .you an income. It may make you rich. Leave your children with a competence; provide for their education. There are just as many fortunes to be made in the cities of today in realt)r as there were twenty years ago. It doesn't take any Mother Shipton to prophesy that lot and land values ten years hence in this territory will be quadruple and quintruple what they are today.
