investment Opportunity
By JOHN D. MCCARTHY

trict at the present time affords the
best opportunities for investment of
any part Of san Francisco. 1t faces
ethe greatest pleasure ground on the
Pacific coast bordering for many
blocks on the Pacific ocean and Golden
Gate park, and is adjacent to other dis
tricts that are developing rapidly. In
addition to the advantages conferred
by its unrivsIed position. and it's
schools and churches. il is close to
the Affiliated Colleges, to the great
Polytechnic high school to be con-
structed, and the splendid STRUCTURES
and fine educational advantages that
will be afforded by the Lowell high
school.
The scenery of the Sunset district
ana its absolutely pure air are attrac-
Tions Of the first order TO draw a fine
class Of citizens and 70 make residence
within its borders exceptionally pleas
inE and advanta geOus.
The Improvement OF II street. now
known as Lincoln way. will throw this
district open TO the public attention
more than ever. II will mean compe-
tition in trade lines for that district,
thereby reducing the cost Of mate
risls. II street. once opened up. will
be the means by which thousands may
drive adjacent TO the beautiful Golden
Gate park, once sand dunes, and see
the real future merit OF these sand
dunes OF the present day.
Remember when viewing this prop
erty that not very many years ago
Van Ness avenue was no better i'm
proved, and that the present site OF our
new city hall was formerly q grave
ward.
MILLION IN FIVE YEARS
These are facts easily verified. Just
stop to think of the past growth Of
this city. san Francisco's first 50
years gave TO US a population of 20o,-
600 people. It took New York 191
wears and Boston 23O years before they
had the same number. Is there any
city in the world whose sure and rapid
growth can compare with this city2 L
look forward TO more than ive years
and expect TO see San Francisco with
over million population.
People who invest in Sunset prop
erty as IL Is being placed on the mar
ket at present are having the advan-
tage of buying on easy terms at first
prices and having first choice. Prices
right now are as low as they viii ever
be. and the terms offered by the local
brokers give the opportunity TO young
men of small means q chance to invest
4 small amount each month toward
the purchase Of a lot or a home, and
derive the DelSlL OF the sure rise IN
value at the same time.
OF course the immediate result Of
this viii be that thousands of people
will interest themselves. where there
were but hundreds to consider il be-
fore With the two greatest scenic at
fractions in san Francisco, the Golden
cate park and Pacific ocean, il has
he certainty OF rapid growth. Stop
to consider here what property in New
York brings which is as close TO the
civic center of that city as the Sunset
district is TO our civic center. You
foot as you can buy a lot at the Sunset
prices of today.
ROAD TO WEALTH
Follow the advice of wealthy men.
They are too numerous and well known
TO mention. They all tell you TO buy
property on the line OF Improvement
in a growing city. This district now
being opened UP has been held back
in the past by inadequate transporta-
tion facilities
The recent movement to improve the
district by filling UP hollows, lowering
ssrd hills and putting many choice
blocks strictly on grade has opened up
fine home sites and the entire district is
advertising itself better than any other
portion of San Francisco.
As 20 the growth of values, there are
examples to show that there has been,
and will be, q sure and steady advance
Seven or eight years ago, when Car
vile" was sold on the beach south of
the Cliff house, lots could have been
bought for as low as $3.50. The same
bring not less than sL750 today. Is
this not profit enough?
While this beach property Will al
wsg-s greatly increase in values, there
VIII be pleasure resorts, casinos. bust
ness buildings, etc, there in the future.
as this is undoubtedly the coming pleas
ure ground for the entire coast, just as
San Francisco is, and always will be,
the carnival city OF the west.
What a person wants for the future
will be property that Is within easy
business buildings, etc. there in the
future, as this is undoubtedly the COM
ing pleasure ground for the entire
coast, just as San Francisco is. and
always viii be, the carnival city of the
west.
BUSINESS POSSIBILITIES
] speak Of home sites. will say here
that business lots may be had in these
blocks. The logical business street
parallel to a park in any city is either
one or two blocks above the park
Hsight street is an example of this. and
Hayes street. on the other side of the
panhs ndle. VIII be q similar example
in q few years.
II street has recently been put on Of
fetal grade and the sewer is being laid.
The car service is excellent, a car pass
ing our branch office, going either to
or from the beach, nearly every two
minutes, carrying thousands to the
finest beach in the world.
During the last few months several
real estate firms in this city have made
arrangements to place on the market
no less than so blocks of land in this
fast growing district, Sunset. A great
part of this district has been held back
by the Sutro forest. This, however,
viii be placed on the market within the
next two years, and will connect the
thickly built portion of this city with
this fast growing district
I could write all day on this subject,
but know that the public is as con-
versant with the facts as am. What
the people should do is this: Investi-
Ssre this beautiful district thoroughly
and weigh the district on its merits. Be
from Missouri for once All the several
brokers want is to have a chance to
