Chevy Chase Talks

That Chevy Chase offers unrivaled advan-
tages as home site has been generally recog-
nized by men cOnversant with the suburban
life of Washington.
Even to these men, however the great op-
portunity for profit through the enormous
advance in values in this suburb has been sur
prising A concrete example can be found IN
Section B. A little more than year ago land
living next the BroOkville Road was sold at five
cents per foot Within the week some OF this
same property has been sold at 1872 cents per
foot. And this latter is IN no wise an excessive
price Lots are not sold at the price which
will obtain ten years from now, but are sold
at the market Of today. There is the same
chance for profitable investment today that
there was year ago. Conditions are such
that prices must continue to advance.
The Land Company could afford to buy
back every foot of ground already sold and
still make handsome margin of profit. In
no other suburb of Washington, without ex-
ception would this be true
Considering all the natural advantages to
be found at Chevy Chase, coupled with the
knowledge that the plan of placing this sub
