A LITTLE ADVICE FREE.


DO YOU KNOW that the few odd hun
dreds of people who are allowing them
selves 10 be persuaded to look a build
ing lots across the East River on Long
Island are only the forerunners of the
naasses-like the few who now OWN
apartment house lots in The Bronx that
you and thousands of others pay RENT
foro
YOU DO KNOW that within two years
now the transportation facilities, bridges
and tunnels. across the East River 10
Long Island Will be TEN TIMES
$500 900 an hour what they are to-day
and that WILL make difference, won't
it? 1t won't be so easy 10 buy then,
will il?
YOU SHOULD KNOW that there are
only limited number Of places left
within reasonable distance where
DESIRABLE lots can still be purchased
for reasonable prices. In a little while
you'll have 10 go further out-to-day
YOU can buy at the same price as yester-
day: tomorrow ii will be different.
YOU KNOW. TOO, that really GOOD
property can't be bought for a dollar
down and a dollar a week" or At least
YOU as Tribune reader don't want that
kind; but why on earth don't you look
at some Of the really desirable property
that can be bought along the main line
Of the Long Island Railroad that isn't
more than thirty five minutes away al
the present time, TO say nothing Of how
near by it viii be when the bridges and
tunnels are finished. and put some of il
under contract now for possible future
use and CERTAIN future profit.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED in buying
either TO build cor as an investment. tell
US how much YOU think you could pay
down as first payment, either 800 or
$1,000 or 10000 and how much you
could afford month, and we will try 70
