FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW

The Industrial expansion of Greater South Bend will mean an increase in population of 50,000 within the next two years. In the next five months alone, over 8,000 workers of various trades and their families will be brought to this citv. Onlv recently a new $10,000,000 rubber corporation was formed and it is their intention to erect a large plant at once. This will attract thousands of others. Many small factories and manufacturers are contemplating moving their business here in the very near future. Taking all this into consideration, to state that there will be an increase in population of 50,000 is not an exaggeration. Right now, there is a shortage of over 2,000 houses in the city. Adequate housing facilities must be provided to take care of this increase in population. Home sites should be provided and homes must be built, in a locality convenient to the industrial district. To provide this, the city can only expand one way. A glance at any city map will prove this statement. To that end and because we fully believe that this city will double its population, we are opening RICHLAND to the public, which combines not only all the necessary requisites which go to make an ideal'residential community, but in addition is one of the finest investment propositions ever offered to the clear visioned, far sighted buyers of realty.
