OAK CLIFF.
Twenty-seven month. ago was built the first
house in what is now known the beautiful
city of OAK Cliff With the building of This
terprist of the Southwest, and an enterprise for
which everyone predicted q failure. But from
that day other houses have been constant
building until we now find at lat 1900, and the
enterprise, in place OF being a failure, has
proved such marked success as to nearly cause
a doubt in the minds of its promoters to its
reality. Every one appreciated the location of
Oak Gift US residence locality, but people
were SOW to grasp the opportunity OF going
there. AT last few of the bodar
the venture, and with the building OF the ele-
valed -oId from Dallas TO the town many
others followed. The few settlers soon so I'M
pressed he r friends with the merits of Oak
Cliff that to-day find the merchants, the
professional men, the man with means; in fact
nearly overy one trying to see who cln be the
first 10 finish residence, and leave be hind them
the dust, the noise and the other Inconvenience
of the parent city, Dallas, aud take up their
permanent abode in the new and wonderful Oak
Cliff. Seven thou and sous now 1--we in Oak
Cliff, and for their convenience waterworEs
have been built. streets have been graded and
macadamized, shade trees have been planted
NJ ted
public park and artificial lake
has been provided; all these, and much more,
Churches and good schools in opera ion.
Pure air, and Gear, cold, water is plentiful.
Health is the boon of everyone. For all these
people, and the thousands more that are con-
stantly coming, the best system of suburban
transportation TO be found in the United States,
has been built. The main l!ne has ten miles of
tine steel track and the motor used is steam.
I he road built in the form of belt and trains
run every twelve minutes. making q quick
an reliable convenience Tor every one. In con-
junction with this main road are run electric
lines that rainify the whole city and make any
one part OF it as access BILE another The class
of houses that have been built far above the
average of any other city in Texas and the
yards and lawn are lastly lail out, and tended
with the utmost care. Land values are constantly
on the advance, and those who bought early
have realized many hundreds OF per cent. on
their investments. The same chances for in
vestments are now to be had as was the case at
the start, as the continuous building OF houses
has but the one tendency-to increase values.
But there is speculation in the matter. as
nearly every lot sold j, at once improved and
occupied by the purchaser and once he makes
j; his home The circumstances have to be very
eItenuating TO cause him to sell out and move.
But there is nothing like seeing to convince q
person of the Advantages of thing. and to ena-
BILE them to merit its worth; every one who
visits Dallas should take the time to visit the
queen OF the Cliffs. visit will convince the
most skepl cal that the half cannot be told OF
the advantages, The beauty and the prosperity
of Oak Cliff.
