Reasons Why
You should Buy Property in the
MOntclair District.
EAST DENVER

FIRsr-Becapse the Montclair Dis
trict is located in the line Of growth OF
Denver. 1t is well known fact that
East Denver is the finest and most beau

requiring no grading or filing,
FoURTH-Because you are buying real
estate IN the best and largest city in the
Middle West, that will have a popula-
ton of 300, 900 within ten years and your

it wi Il cost you now.
FIFTH-Becalse by the completion of
Denvers Great Boulevard System within
one year Costing nearly $4,000 for

portion of Denver, .hese lots will double
in value in twelve months time.
SIXTH Because the title is perfect,
Warranty Deed being given on compile
ton or purchase.

the Colfax and the Eighth Ave. electric
lines, running directly through the dis
trict 10 the heart of Denver, with but
single five cent fare; including a transfer
tc any part OF the city. From Is to 20
minutes ride only to the business center
of Denver.
EIGHTH-Because this favored location
has one of the finest and largest city
schools in Denver, as we'll as two
churches; a branch postoffice; free mail
delivery, and city water pped to the pro-
perty and other evidences of up-to-date
city prosperity.
