As early as 1900 Americans were

value to real estate in and around
cities of this country which old not

! the world.
The cause of this is easily under.
stood when we stop to think that in
ali other countries up to that time
real property belonged largely not
to the individual but to a line of in
heritance-a perpetuity that offered
no incentive to acquisition or trade.
At that time all mercantile pursuits
and trades were looked upon as be-
meath the dignity Of genteel peo-
pie, and as "a vulgar adjunct of life
which contributed remotely to their
comfort. Hence men who dealt in
real estate in a commercial way
were looked upon as little better than
professional gamblers. This did
not apply to agents alOne-for they
were little more than servants-but
to anyone who was known To be
dabbling in real estate.
Foreigners and descendants of no
bility living in this country could
not perceive that the will of the peo-
pie was the sovereign of this nation,
and that individual was an equal
part of the sovereignty, thus attach
ing to them a right or joint owner
chip of the nation whose property
they could acquire and convert by
legitimate means into individual

troll, giving them the right to buy
and sell as they please. This value
is best realized when we think it was
an opening for the poorer classes
to acquire homes, and with cOmmen-
dable vigor they sought to secure
property as quickly as possible. The
progressive had faith III his govern
ment, in his country and his town,
and when he had secured his home
he added to his holdings and pro
vided for rainy day" by taking adj
vantage of his knowled, eaud oppor-
;unitics and buying II piece Of
property which he knew someone
would come along and want, and
that, too, within very few years,
and at q price which would net q
handsome profit. From that day
till now this has been practiced
with profit by the wide awake peo-
pie in every walk of American life
1t has worked its way across the
continent from east to west and from
north to south, till nearly every
point in America has had period
Of unusual prosperity which Of late
years has been designated by the
suggestive name Of booms. Several
years ago California headed all COM
petitors and tor several years led the
procession not only Of the Pacific
coast but Of the entire country.
Hardly had its spirit began to wane
when Washington Territory, with
all the vigor of a dashing youth,
sprang to the front and has led up

( Salem and the Willamette valley so
far in front that she will hold her
own against all competitors for years
to come.
Property is now within your reach,
ard if you do not take advantage of
your opportunities it will not be our
fault.
We are free to admit that we are
interested in your welfare in a selfish
way, and that our incentive to inter-
est you in property is largely due to
the small commission which will fall
to our share, but it is not all, as you
will perceive upon reflection. We
have a reputation to build up and
sustain, and an ambition to extend
our acquaintance and enlarge our
circle of friends.
This course cannot help but en-.
large our business and make it q
pleasant pursuit as well To ac-
complish this we must prove to you
that our judgment is good and that
our motives are not entirely selfish
or enough so as to cause us to intlu-
ence anyone to invest where he
might lose all his hard earned
pennies.
Our trade is rapidly increasing and
we tiatter ourselves that our efforts
in behalf of Salem and her people are
being duly appreciated, yet we do
not expect nor desire more trade than
we merit and which the merits of
our property deserve. Come and see
us and if we cannot please you go to
nf
bargains, but do not neglect to in
vest now. If you do you will have
to buy and pay the newcomers q
profit which you could just as well
have had as your own.

We have made it the policy of the
corporation which we represent to
recommend only such property as
will prove profitable to the investor
and which possesses an actual value
entirely distinct and separate from
speculative value, and which, at
the same time possesses rare qualities
and is located where it has the great
est prospective value of any in the
market.
Lying in Il country possessed of q
fertile soil and beautiful scenery, it is
natural for the inhabitants who give
a thought to such things to desire to
locate upon high and slightly ground,
aud where there is deep, rich, black
soil.
In country like this valley, of
course, there are no bluffs. Near the
river are prairies like the one which
lies to the east of Salem.
Hence to find the highest, stghtli-
est ard healthiest as well as the most
fertile you must seek the highest of
the level ground in sight. In select
ing and buying our own homes we
were influenced by these qualities,
and believing that we are an average
in our tastes with other men, we
have made our investments and
