situated homestes. with all street work and
improvements complete. remains healthy indi-
cation of the citys growth. our success with
this property demonstrates that il is both poSsi-
bic and profitable to give people of moderate
means pleasant place to live in. and it also
proves the faith which people have in the city's
growth toward the south and the certainty of
an increase in values over those prevailing at
the present time which are ridiculously low

ROCK RIDGE GROWING
+. T. Reed, subdivision manager for
the LaYmance real estate company said:
We have said much about Rock Ridge place
selling itself, and we are in a position to prove
that II does. one strong point we are making is
To ask people to 90 to our property at any time,
unattended by a salesman We are only too glad
TO send them out I'm of machines with
courteous salesman. If they desire it, but
just as sure Of a sale if they go alone. Many
people who are really interested in Rock Ridge
properties think that If they go out with a sales
man they under obligation to buy. We
want il distinctly understood that have no
such feeling ourselves We are enthusiastic
over these tracts that ii is real pleasure to
show them TO people who can appreciate them.
While circumstances may prevent these particu-
lar persons from buying. we know that they tell
their friends about Rock ridge and often make
buyers Of them.
Some Of our very best sales have come from
this policy of allowing people to stroll the
property at their own pleasure. Men and women
have read about Rock ridge and have gone out
perhaps half skeptically. to see if we really had
as much as we claimed. When they have. as
they think. discovered for themselves this mar
velously beautiful private park in an exclusive
neighbOrhood; when they have admired the view
and noted the class Of improvements going in
they come TO us Of their accord Our
building restrictions offer such protection that
the reading Of them is usually sufficient TO close
a sale after any one had seen the property and
Is in position to appreciate what such restric-
tiOns in such perfect residence section mean
