Here is just what you have been looking for. A chance to make some easy money. You have been looking around getting prices on a lot and perhaps have made up your mind to buy some property but you have been unable to buy at your own price. It is true we are starting the season early but. owing to the great number of inquiries we are getting and to make it an object to buy now, we are going to offer lots in the best resident section at an attractive price which you will agree with us is a rare snap and you will take advantage of it. These lots are on Lewis St., in Highland Park Addition just one block south of Harrison; Park. The very best modern improvements are all in, consisting of sewer, sidewalks, water and asphalt pavement with a park-way between curb and walks. This location is convenient to car-lines and schools and is a very desirable place to live. For ten days only we will offer 25ft lots for $200 each on liberal terms, and at this low price we expect to sell out the entire street. Others have taken advantage of our special sales and have profited why not you? Our Special Sale this week has been the talk of the town. Buyers have taken advantage of the Very Low Prices and the few choice lots left will be sold by Tuesday, the last day of the sale. Why don't you Save that SHOO Within the next 3 days?
