The beautiful rolling mesa land ap-
pears at once to the home seeker. Ly-
ing at a high elevation there Is the
pure air and the mountain and valley
scenery which delight the eye of man
more than anything else i'm nature. In
Boyle Heights one breathes as though
there was real pleasure in inhaling the
pure air.
Lying on the eastern side of the Los
Angeles river there is a stretch of COM
paratively level land, certain to be of
great importance for industrial uses
but for the time in large part devoted
to home making.
Back of this tract from the river
the land rises abruptly about twenty
feet, and tlen rolls back into hills of
gentle declivity from which the eye
commands the Sierra Madre and San
Bernardino mountains, now snow clad,
while incidentally there is a view of
the wide coast plain and of the San
Gabriel valley.
Many Fortunate investments
Syndicates and Individual investors,
appreciating the advantages of Boyle
Heights as a specially attractive resi-
Dental district, have earned hand
some profits by acquiring acreage that
had been neglected or overlooked for
many years and now in every direc-
tion may be observed hundreds of
pretty homes ranging in value from
$1,000 to $4,000, or more. with the occu
pants enjoying all the Conveniences
enjoyed by those residlng at Sixteenth
and Figueroa streets.
In many respects it may be stated
Boyle Heights, taken as a whole, is not
unlike that large tract west of the city
variously known as Westlake West
moreland, Pico Heights and West
Adams Heights. 1t is in truth one of
the choicest residence sections in Los
Angeles, considered from a scenic or
sanitary point of view, while the near
ness of Boyle Heights to the business
center is one of the greatest points of
important value to men of affairs with
whom time is money.
Perfect climate, perfect health and
beautiful scenic effects, glorious sun
shine, bracing air and high altitude
are among the chief valuable assets
of Boyle Heights Those who reside in
Boyle Heights are constantly in close
touch with nature. 1t is a daily delight
to be out in the balmy sunshine in
haling the pure air from the noun
tains and the sea, while the ever
changing views bring forth perpetual
exclammations of pleasure. Out of
door life is one of the chief charms of
living in Los Angeles, and in Boyle
Heights the pleasure can be enjoyed to
the limit. There is no lack of elbow
room. In every direction, go where
you will, everything is clean and
fresh, the purity of the air giving one
an impression that meadows and run
ming brooks must be near at hand.
No section of the city is better
equipped with excellent street car SER
vice and the advantages of churches,
public library, schools, sanitary, cleo
trio and gas conveniences. Everything
needful for the comforts of life are sup
piled, while the residents of Boyle
Heights include many of the best
known successful business men of the
community.

greatly enhanced the value of indus
