Vassar Park is located in the North-West end of the city and was formerly known as "The Muessel Field." This addition lies on both sides of Blaine Ave. and is intersected by Cleveland, Diamond, Lawndale, Vassar, California and Portage Avenues. . SOUTH BEND'S NEWEST, LARGEST and BEST LOCATED SUBDIVISION IS CALLING YOU

50 percent of the people in the city prefer the Northwest end for location. Convenient to two car lines, with school building on the property. An army of workmen is busy laving water mains, sewers, sidewalks, foundations, and erecting new homes. Each street is restricted as to the value of the buildings. People have been waiting for 10 years for the "Muessel Field" to be platted and placed upon the market. It is the last close-in addition in the Northwest end.

The moment you buy a lot here, you at once begin to share the profits of the developments we are making. Owing to the pressing demand for houses for immediate possession, lots have not yet advanced in price. The public will be forced to build to relieve this serious situation. Desirable building lots will then be in great demand and the wise investor wrho buys now will reap the benefits of increased values as have former investors done in other cities like Detroit, Flint, Lansing, Akron, etc.

No better time to "paint .up" than the early Fall. Old King Winter works a lot of damage to woodwork that is exposed during: his swav. No better investment can be made for the home than a cover of weatherresisting paint. Now that real estate is soaring in price, it is a question of "Can you afford to not protect your property?" Then the quality of paint to be used is no small matter to take into consideration. If vou want the best and most lasting results you are to find it here at South Bend's greatest p a i n t store.
