Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1911-04-24

We sell no property without seeing
1t, and knowing all about and invesu-
eating 1t from the standpoint Of the
buyer.
We have lived In this community
for 22 years and have made an hon
est living, and propose to do an hon
est real estate business.
Honesty is the best policy, and we
do not want to sell property at
prices or conditions that we cannot
meet purchasers in the future, and
feel that we have benefited them.
Our object Is to enable our clients
to make such investments as we
would be willing TO make ourselves,
caring more for our reputation for
good judgment than for making
money.
Why We Bank on Mountain View.
Because the owners are not In a
hurry to rush It onto the market,
and are holding the property at fair
prices, and yet are placing good val
ues On 1t.
The trend of building is to the
south, and, with the car-lines oper-
ating 15-minute service to Salem
Heights, the city is hound to grow
to the south.
In few years there will be busi-
ness places and residences on both
sides of South Commercial street all
the way to Salem Heights, and now
is the time to get in.
II you have rot seen Mountain
View property, go out Sunday and
look 1t over, and at the same time
see the most beautiful scenery in and
about the Capital City.
A Very Good Opportunity.
A young German has good g.
room, house, all remodeled and built
over, partly new, in South Salem,
with new barn and chicken yard,
with FIVE lots, and lease on six lots
for additional chicken yard for three
years; sale price of the While $4,000.
Germans put property in good shape,
and do not ask speculative prices.
This house and lot and barn are put
In at 5000, and the four lots at
$1,000, which is very low, cosiderlng
the property adjoins Fairmount Park
addition. Time can be got on part
of 1t.
Iowa Men Buying.
During the past week considerable
property has changed hands, and
there have been a number of addi-
tions to the Iowa colony. Eight acres
q quarter of mile east of Mountain
View was sold to Mr.. John w, Car
son for about $3.50 per acre Two
Iowa men, Messrs. Pray and Stearns
from Hamilton county, bought homes
in and near the city. The tendency OF
prices ls slowly upwards, and no one
need fear any reaction in Salem real
estate. There has been no reaction
in 20 years, and there is less chance
Of It now than ever before.
Conservative Investments.
There are more men looking fol
good, safe, conservative investments
today than ever before, and severa
large deals are on f. OF, and will bC
put through this coming week There
Is considerable property that is helt
too high, and will not move off rap
idly on that account, but it shows thu
owners have great faith in the future
of Salem and Oregon. On the whole
there is more real estate activity a
Salem than anywhere in the state
The fact that Portland capitalists ar,
investing $4,000 in permanent i'm
provements on the Kingwood trac
shows a preference for Salem rea
estate over their own city. There !
no case where a Portland firm is ex
pending a like sum on Portland ad
dition at present.
Have Not Made Bad Investments.
We have not made any bad invest
ments ourselves and will not be
party to making bad investments 70
others.
: There is no necessity Of putin
your money into something wher
you will never get 1t out again, or ge
only part.
Good Salem real estate. in tn
business and residence districts, an
where business is going and wher
population is moving is a good invest
ment, If bought right.
We make specially of placln

propositions fOr a commission.
