spend $4,000 yearly on their

Possibly Lose.

That ought to appeal to you
Nothing is so good these days as a
little tract of irrigated land. OF
course you know that you can make
more money and do it easier on
one acre of irrigated land than you
can on five acres of dry land.
HERE'S OUR PROPOSITION
We will sell you an acre tract
at Jameson Park, 2h miles from
the city limits, on the Medical Lake
line, for $4,000, of which $1,000 is
to be paid down and the balance
in 40 monthly payments. This land
is of the best and is irrigated un-
der pressure.
ONE ACRE WILL MAKE YOU
INDEPENDENT
We will set your tract out to
fruit trees and develop 1t into a
bearing orchard without a cent of
expense to you.
Now note this: no matter how
much you may have paid in, If at
any time you want to give UP your
Soull dCt, lOI III uldttcT WudJ I6d-
son, we will cheerfully refund ey-
cry cent you have paid in. Could
anything be fairer than this? That's
better than having your money in
a bank for the reason that by the
time you have paid in your $4,000
you will have a piece of property
worth at the very least 100000
We embody every one of these fea.
lures in our contract.
AS TO OUR RELIABILITY
We have been here a good many
years and believe that are fairly
well known, but if you are in doubt
just ask your banker or any re
sponsible business man.
Call at our Office and let us show
you more about Jameson Park ant
arrange to take you out, or if you
are interested, phone us.
