Again this summer the opportunity
Is before the people to enter the same

Investments.
The Chicago Heights Land AssOcia-

the building of the place, has felt more
promptly than almost any other bust

prosperity which Is reaching the cOun-

In the properties held by 1t, ana for
weeks past its management has been
actively engaged In showing to inquir-

running to the industrial city have
been patrOnized by constantly in

have backed their faith with cash and
purchased select lots. In order to make
