EVERY RENT PAYER in the course of an ordinary rent-paying lifetime, actuallv makes his landlord a gift of several good homes. , You don't believe it Well, hero' are the actual figures to prove it, showing how much various sums, from ?:8 to $25 per month, paid out for rent, amount to in a period of from 10 to 25 years, with interest. at onlv SIX (f) percent compounded annually.

ARE YOU A RENT PAYER? If so, why not make yourself a present of the next home?. How to do it. A LOT is the first thing necessary on which to build vour home. The Jot is the foundation: the beginning. STOP PAYING RENT What you would pay out in rent will pay for your home in monthly payments. NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY The time to buy is now because prices are now at the bottom: are. lower now than they will ever be again for the same property. This is the opinion of the best informed and longest-headed investors and dealers-in real estate, and they are backing their judgment with money. The shrewd, far-sighted investors are quietly buying good real estate. These men do not buy at the top of a rise nor on a falling market; but they buy at the bottom and when the market is rising. Thev believe real estate in Hammond and'its outlving districts is cheaper now than it will ever be again, and thy want' to secure the profits that they see the future is sure to bring. You will do well to follow their example. WHERE TO BUY We believe that Hammond offers today the best chanee for safe and profitable investment, and that Betz Property offers the greatest inducements to lot buyer?. - '

SOME OF THE ADVANTAGES I OFFER First: Location. Betz nronertv is centrallv located rizht in the heart of the Calumet Region looked

noon by those beet fitted to judge a the greatest manufacturing center in the United States, if not in the world. .Many things combine to make this possible.

Second: Nearness to Industrial Centers. tions, schools and chunhes.

ih.rd: Nearness to Chicago, with its three million inhabitants, and which many now living will see grow to five millions or more. The author of "Cosmonics," who lias made a profound study of the population question- predicts that Chicago will contain ten million inhabitants, and that this great niass o (humanity will overflow into all the .surrounding suburbs and especially into Hammond. WHUE CLOSE TO CHICAGO. IT IS YET OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS AND MUST EVER REMAIN SO (BECAUSE IT IS IN ANOTHER STATE), AND THUS WILL ALWAYS ESCAPE THE HEAVY TAXATION INCIDENT TO LARGE CITIES. t Fourth: Transportation. Car service passes property where the peopie of the entire City of Hammond come every day to go to their work in furrounding towns as mentioned. There are 2S roads which carry people th tough Hammond daily. Sixth: Low Prices of Lots. Compare our prices with those of adjoining property asked by others. Seventh: Advance in Price. , Present low prices of lots insure a handsome profit, to th03e who buy now. Eighth: Easy Terms of Payment.
