Prospect Park Subdivision is located on Hohman street, three blocks south of Standard avenue, extending 1 through

to State Line street. It is entirely in North Township and not in the disputed Hessville territory. , - ,

Electric serv ice and telephones are now available. Deep wells provide pure water for all purposes. The present fac-

ilities are equal to those found in many of our large towns and even small cities where beautiful homes are built and prominent people reside without city water, sewers and gas. However, the prospect for the extension of these facilities through PROSPECT PARk is only a matter of months. , Transportation JgXtZlZ eral bus lines, which pass directly through this subdivision, operating between Lansing, Chicago Heights and Harvey on less than hour schedules. It is just six blocks from the Conkey avenue street car line, by auto it is five minutes' drive from the corner of State and Hohman streets. The new Kenwood School Site is located on the corner of Standard avenue and Hohman street, just three blocks from the subdivision.

imr Certain restrictions will protect purchasers of this pro-

111, hMJl I t and maintain the high standard of the surround

ing community. By selecting the purchasers of land in this district the owner hopes to establish a community which will co-operate in every way in creating a high standard of civic pride and in making the district attractive and desirable to the better class of residents.

You may not be ready to build for a year or two, but by that time your lot will be paid for, your city improvements will be in, your property will be doubled in value and you will have a beautiful home site in Hammond's

finest residential district.

The Wise Man Gets in on the Ground Floor He knows that just as soon as city improvements are put in that the value of the land is greatly increased and the purchaser not only pays for the increased value but must also stand the cost of all improvements such

as streets, sewers, etc.

Figure it Out for Yourself Here is an Example Hundreds of people have become rich by using a little foresight in

curin undeveloped real estate in districts which are due for development

n the near future.' Only a few yeais aso vou could have bought lots in

Glendale Park for a few hundred dollars. Today you could not buy that property for many times the price. When Homewood was laid out people purchased lots for five and six hundred dollars without the improvements. After the improvements were installed the value of these lots doubled and the purchaser paid the full cost of the improvements bcfides. So the argument of waiting until city improvements are installed does not apply, unless you arc going to build immediately and are unwilling to use the temporary facilities offered, but it docs mean that you will pay a great deal more for these same lots after the improvements are started and then the assessments must be paid in addition to the advanced price. The improvements on a 50 foot lot including street and sewers will amount to approximately $350.00. If the cost of a lot before the improvements are in is $450.00, it will make your total cost $800.00. After the improvements are installed the average person will think he is getting a bargain if the lot is priced at 800.00 or $900.00 and he then pays the improvements besides. Which will make the same lot cost him $1,250.00. The New Kenwood School, the extension of electric and telephone service makes this z most desirable home site for the man who desires a touch of country' life and can still get to his work in any part of the Calumet region in a few minutes time. The land is a part of one of the most fertile and highest producing farms in the county. It is perfectly level wtih the grade of Hohman street and 15th Avenue and has produced crops which are far above the average for many years past. Nothing affords greater comfort, recreation and pleasure than having a beautiful garden and all the surroundings of country life away from the dirt and noise of the city. The fertility of tins land w;l enable a maiTto grow enough produce on a 50 foot lot to pay taxes and even the interest on hs investment. If you do not wish to build immediately purchase one of these lots now. plant it cut and work it as your own private garden and you will be surprised at the reutrns that you will realize for a few hours work each week. Now is the time to plant your fruit trees, .shrubbery and vines so that when you are ready to build your home it will be on a producing basis. It is only a matter of a short time until this entire district will be built up and now is the time to prepare for the future. Buy your home site today and at a price which will never be lower and is bound to increase according to the development of the district.
