LOS EBANOS
A Good Investment

When Los Ebanos was first put on
the market, many investors were
quick to see its outstanding advant-
ages as a domestic or income produc-
ing property.
In the brief period since Los Ebanos
was opened, numerous homes have
been built, some for rental and lease
and these latter are being occupied as
fast as they are completed.
Los Ebanos IS happily located for
homes. Near the schools, churches
and the business section of Browns
Vile. Only a short distance from the
golf links and other beauty spots.
With its peculiarly advantageous To-
cation, is it any wonder to investor and
prospective home builder?
Los Ebanos is unriva1ed in the Val
lev as a site for homes. apartments
and income producing investments,
yet, with all its manifold advantages,
YOU can get a homesite in Los Ebanos
at a very reasonable price with liberal
terms.
If you want property that will have
a ready resale value with increasing
prices investigate Los Ebanos now
today. Take the family for a drive
through the winding hard surfaced
streets this afternoon.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1928-05-06
LOS EBANOS
Entirely Different

Because It Is not a small lot SUBJ
division, though it offers the conven-
iences of the city.
Homesites are much larger than city
lots, yet they cost no more than the
average good lot.
Los Ebanos can never be congested
with small homes on small lots that
shut off the view, obstruct the breeze
and take privacy from the home.
Here, you get away from the many
ob%jectional features of the city lot, yet
you have city water, gas, paving, cleo
tricity, telephones, concrete curbs,
sanitary system, storm sewers,
careful restrictions, ornamental street
lights, ETC., and you are just outside
the city limits.
There is nothing in the Valley as ex-
elusive, convenient and we'll planned
for future development as Los Ebanos,
hence its exceptional value as an in
vestment.
The home building program in Los
Ebanos, where many fine homes are
already completed or are under con-
struction assures development i'll line
with the exclusive nature Of the pro-
perty.
