REAL ESTATE A3
AN INVESTMENT

Oakland Beach real estate is the safest
and fastest money making investment at
the present day.
Mr.. Bennett at Oakland Beach can
show you over 20 cottages that are bring
ing their owners 20 per cent on their in
vestment. The owner OF one cottage now
I'm process OF erection tells the writer
that he has had lG applications to rent
II the coming season. Ten days ago he
came here with the idea OF building one
cottage for his own use. now he Is to
build three.
What makes Oakland Beach real estate
valuable: First-Transportation to and
from Providence; electrics every 20 min
utes during the summer: half-hcurly In
winter Second--The finest bathing beach
on Narragansett Bay. Third-Land all
high and dry: no malaria.
When you put your money in Oakland
Beach lots it's safe. IL can't run away.
1t can't be lost. II can't be destroyed
Don't put your money In mimi or oil
stocks that God only knows the value Of
but invest II in real estate where there
is steady Increase In value.
William Jennings Bryan says: Real
estate is the best investment for small
savings. More, money is made from the
rise in real estate values than all other
causes combined. To speculate in stocks
is risky. and even dangerous. hut when
you buy real estate you are buying an in
hertance."
Andrew Carnegie says: The wise
young man or wage Garner OF today In
vests his money in real estate"
President Roosevelt says: Every per-
son who invests I'm well-selected real es-
tate In a growing section OF a prosperous
community adopts the surest and safest
method of becoming independent. for real
estate is the basis of all wealth "
Oakland Beach lots are large none
smaller than 40xso. and they are sold for
cash or on small monthly payments.-S10
will start you as a property owner No
taxes until final payment is made; no In
tercst for thcs first year and In case cs
sickness we will carry your payments
along.
Mr. Bennett. the local representative, IA
on the grounds every day in the year. Go
out and talk II over with him. II does
not need a brass band. or the gift Of
pianos. automobiles and diamonds TO sell
lots at Oakland Beach-tho lots sell
themselves. II will be the safest, surest
investment you ever made.
