teen thousand have been sold, and
twenty-five thousand additional lots
are to be sold within a siN-mouth per
iod commencing Feb. /, 1922. The re-
manning lots will be divided up into

j in operation about that time, Tor the
purpose OF supplying water through
j out the cemetery.
Lots up to and including the present
time have been sold at prices ranging
from $500 to $4,000. There were
no lots sold for any less than $500
i since the present Improvements were
completed
1t is now proposed by officers OF
j the cemetery to sell the twenty-five
thousand lots for the fat price oil
$4,000 each, instead of $500 and up
wards, as heretofore. These lots are
to be sold on the installment plan
The purchaser will pay $1,000 down
upon the signing of the contract and
$1,000 or more per month until the
full purchase price is paid. In addition
to title to the lot tAe purchasers shall
each receive two shares of stock for
each lot purchased by them, which
stock is now being sold for $500 per
share. The lot owners will have q
double interest in the cemetery, that
of lot owner and that of stockholder.
As a part of the revenue of the
company about $50 per year will be
collected from each lot owner as a
fixed expense for watering the lots
and cutting the grass for the purpose
of keeping the cemetery in frst-class
condition This is a sum consider
ably less than is usually charged by
other cemeteries for like services.
It cannot be too strongly empha-
sized and borne in mind that willie the
cemetery is one OF the most beautiful
and attractive in the City OF Chicago
and its environs, yet the price of
$4,000. not to include the stock bonus,
which IS easily worth $4,000, represents
about Is per cent OF the selling OF
lots in the average cemetery.

choice lots while they last. 1t is the
coming Oak Woods of cemeteries i'll
this city Every family and house
holder should own a lot thereby pro-
viding for the future for our bereaved
ones just as We do i'll everything else.
