FACTS.

TIM
Columbia is less than four miles from
Occidental square, and nearer and more
accessible than any addition in which i'm
proved property can be obtained at the
same price, even for cash.
The Rainier avenue railway was in oper-
alton at least two months before Columbia
was dreamed of, and before its promoters
had thought of looking in that direction
! for location. 1t is built and operated
three miles beyond Columbia, and the alb
surditv of road abandoning its franchise
after 1t secures profitable traffic is too APP
parent to demand notice. The road al
success of Columbia insures it as profitable
Il business as any suburban railway of
Seattle
The little fiction adjoining this para
graph ON the right evidently emanates
from some one who is trying to unload lots
far beyond the present terminus of the
road; perhaps one of the individuals who
sends daily for free passes to Columbia, to
be used IN taking prospective buyers to
other localities miles further off. The fic-
ton, If it were truth instead, would only
increase the importance Of Columbia. But
IT is not true.
See it for yourself. Get free pass. and
let your own observation answer. All the
cultivated ground between Jackson street
of the road is through the richest garden
section about Seattle, and now under cul-
tiration.
No better or more slightly locations for
homes can be found anywhere. Columbia
commands lovely view of the city and of
Lake Washington for miles. If you do
not care to go out to convince yourself YOU
can stand anywhere on Jackson street
east of Sixteenth and see the location of
columbia. You can watch it grown from
there and from several other points in the
city. 1t is one week old today. If you
want to see it grow count the houses you
can see from elevated parts of the city;
count them every day.
Our payments run nearly six years. II
you can buy lot elsewhere for 500 on six
years time, 1t will cost you $50 more than
a lot in Columbia in the same time. The
men who figure to You that our price is
high will charge you $40 as interest for
the period named. They will not give
your family the property free if you die.
we Will. All that and an equal share Of
the proceeds from the sale of valuable busi-
ness property are included and covered by
payment OF $40 cash and 81 week with
out interest.
Columbia lots are worth the price asked.
They are not worth $500 cash today. You
don Z pay II. You pay the equivalent Of
less than $500. 1t will be nearly six wears
until you have paid for it. and it will be
worth double the price before you hare in
vested it.
Vacant lots in body are not worth any
tning. We guarantee Improvements that
wiii give value. You pay only as those
improvements progress II we fail in
money IS always in sight. You see where
1t goes, and an investment of 81 week
secures you valuable property without
tying up your capital.
We viii sell . lot 3Oxll0 feet with anv

over 5000 for $40 cash and 81 per week un.

thereafter until the expiration Of $40 weeks
from the date of contract. The property

payment.
We will sell you the same property for
$l,ooO cash, or for one-third cash and tho
balance in six annual payments, with in
terest at 10 per cent. We will build q bet
ter house, and the last named terms are
better than can be obtained elsewhere. and
yet moments reflection will show that
our weekly payments are the cheapest.
we Will make any terms that any other
owner will make in preference to tho
terms We offer, because any other terms
are less favorable to the buyer than those
we Will give: If you doubt this, figure il
out yourself, or have it figured out by a
responsible business man not interested in
selling rival property. Call at the COM
pany,s office and ascertain who are the
buyers OF Columbia lots and houses, and
learn why they are buyers. If Won buy
houses at Columbia to five in, and any.
BODY tells you it will be CHEAPER to buy for
$1,000 cash than to buy on our terms, here
Is your answer:
One thousand dollars placed at interest
At 10 per cent. for six years, COMPOUNDED
annually, will amount to more than the
payments on the first house built for the
entire period on our time, and the last
house will cost the buyer less than one
naif the amount; the result of co-opera-
ton. 1t costs less to buy on our terms
than to pay cash.
