easeis Wbfay frosff SBboebM Mm Eels ou are dealing with responsible owners not agents. You can stall to build as soon as you make first payment. The best class of people live in Hammond. Every lot will increase in value while you are paying for it. Mother Earth is the safest and best investment. Start right now. Nothing is more valueless than a bunch of old rent receipts. t A rented house is not a home. ' All conveyances are made by full Warranty Deed and we give you a complete copy of abstract with every lot, showing clear and perfect title. - . Lots in Hammond are increasing in value as the city grows and Betz's Property lies in the North Side of tthc city, where the people live who are independent' and own property. You will never again have a chance to buy. a lot so close in on these terms. You can encourage your boy or girl to start a home of their own by saving. The price of every lot is given in plain figures on this circular and the price is marked on n tag on each lot. This puts every buyer on the ground floor. We will sell this property on its merits because we use no brass band, no presents, no lottery or prizes. We just sell the best lots on the best terms, at the best prices ever offered. You deal with men known to be honest by every one. Come early, for many will be at this sale. Any man who has a piece of ground has a chance in the world. ' Off that bit of land you will have delicacies on your table that you haven't been able to buy before. We are notso anxious to make sales that we need to misrepresent anything. Come out and srjc the ground. Unless the lots and terms sell themselves, don't buy! Proper restrictions have been placed on every lot, insuring a good neighborhood and neat, attractive (homes. If we who are experts of real estate investments had confidence enough in Hammond to invest thousands, are you .not justified in investing for a home? t We have invested in many cities in the United States and have investigated several hundred. Our experience and knowledge of other cities conince us that Hammond is the best. hYmember that Frank S. Hetz moved a .T-2,0()0,X.M).00 factory to Hammond from Chicago and employs over 1,000. people. Hammond looked better or he would have gone elsewhere or stayed in Chicago and not gone to an expense of over $120000.00 to move here. Is there any reason that you should not buy a lot for a home in Hammond, a town we know to be the greatest workshop in the world f

Why Real Estate is the Safest, Most Profitable and Best Investment

f

Real estate is the basis of all security and of all v a.Iues. It cannot bum up, fail, or blow away. Most great fortunes have started from investment in real estate. If judiciously selected, it is certain to go on steadily increasing in value and in price. Hen1 are a few facts taken from historical articles lately appearing in some lit our great Chicago dailies, as to the profits actually taken out of Chicago real estate. "A man traded a lame horse, valued at $100, for a lot on 69th St., east of Ahland Ave- The other day he was offered $1,250 for the same lot, a profit of $1,150, or over one thousand per cent in less than 7 years. Instances such as these are not few in number. This is only one of hundreds cf similar cases." "The Southeast corner of May and &1st St., 31x125 feet, was bought for $500. Today it will sell for more than $2,500. In 1837 the late Tuthill King took a deed for a lot now the Northwest corner of Dearborn and Washington Sts., in settiement of a debt cf $100. When he went to look at it he found the lot a waste of sand and was disgusted; went home and threw the deed into an old trunk. But he afterwards recorded it, kept his taxes paid, and held on to the lot.. Today it is worth over one million dollars. Nine-

tents of the wealthy men of Chicago and Hammond have really made their money by the marvelous increase in the price of real estate. Real estate men do not hesitate to say that the greatest advance in the prices of Hammond real estate is just beginning, that the advance at hand, will continue ten or fifteen years and carry values to a standard by. the side of which present prices will seem ridiculous, that property will go twice as high as it ever has been before. That if the prices of outlying Hammond property were doubled in a single night, it would still be from 50 to 75 per cent cheaper than similar property in St. Louis. Cincinnati, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, or any other large city in the United States. They say that what are bargains now will be priceless within the next ten years- Their

assertion that no such safe and profitable investment either to a small or large buyer as Hammond 'dirt'." "There is a good reason to believe that the
