New Homestead Enterprise.
One of the most feasible and at the same
time one OF the most practical and attractive
homestead schemes that has even been In
augurated in southern California is about
matured and win be fully explained in a
few days in the advertising columns OF the
HERALD. II consists in the subdivision Of
South Main and San Pedro streets. This
beautiful tract Of well matured citrus trees
and vines has been laid out Into
two hundred lots, with streets and
alleys, which will be put on to the
market at the nominal price OF
$500 per lot, payable in easy installments.
Some OF the lots are worth to-day 5000 each,
uniform price asked. At the end of six
months the PURCHASERS choose a committee
to draw by lot for choice of lots so there
will be an equal chance for each purchase
to get the valuable lots already built upon.
six electric light masts win be erected on
the tract at once which will illuminate the
tract brilliantly and make It, with the beau
tiful orange groves, one of the most attract
i've residence localities in the city. The
facilities for access, drainage. sewerage and
water supply are Of the highest order. The
fact that many of our merchants, profession
al and business men have already selected
homesteads on lots adioining this beautiful
tract and built up elegant homes will make
this one of the choicest locations In the city.
]. n. Duncan a Co.. OF ths Diamond House,
are agents for this new Homestead tract and
win be prepared to put them on the market
In a few days. This homestead enter
prise will revive the building boom
In the residence portion OF the city
aud no doubt be a great success.
