por la novedad de este tratamiento que

Beautiful Subur'-
BAN Place of
is Acres

The suburban property Of %
acres advertised by us in last
Sundays Herald we sold on Mon
day. We also sold another 20
acre property in Eagle Rock dur
ing the week. 1t requires no very
keen discernment to realize the
fact that Eagle Rock acreage is
rapidly becoming thing of the
past. This 15-acre place is one Of
the most picturesque properties in
the district. 1t adjoins the beauti~
full country place of Willard H.
Stimson, and consists of about
seven acres of level land planted
to assorted fruit trees, roses, etc,
aud eight acres of rough rolling
land, including canyon and hill
side. There is a fair Groom cottage
on the place, outbuildings and
mountain water, supplied by tun-
mel. From the house is a grand
and sweeping view of the entire
surrounding country and ocean.
No property in the immediate
neighborhood Of this place is on
the market at any price. We can
deliver this for $4,000, on easy
terms. 1t is the finest opportunity
in Eagle Rock to acquire subur-
ban home at bargain.
