How- ever, we are not prepared to have them so generally appreciated as to break all selling records, which is exactly- what happened. Now the owner of No. 5205 finds it necessary to sell, and we are mighty glad of the chance to make his announcement. And this is the house— (but the picture doesn’t do it justice) A home of two-story | bungalow style with clubroom and lavatory on first floor and three spacious rooms and bath above; modern in each detail, with every sensible convenience that could be desired.

That is not an impertinent question, for we really do not want to know. We simply want you to know. You put your money into a bank, or into stocks, or into bonds, and some very able gentleman takes it and educates it—makes it carn a handsome return—and hands you a very modest portion of that return. Now, why in the name of everything reasonable shouldn’t you put your own money to work for your own self? It can be done and is being done every day by the numerous people who have had the possibilities of real estate brought to their attention. Washington real estate, properly bought, financed and managed, is the most profitable investment of modern times. If you could know the total of real estate earnings during the past decade it would stagger you—and make you wonder where you have been while this has been going on. Atany rate, that has been the attitude of the hundreds of people we have introduced to the possibilities of real estate investment, hundreds of people who now use their own money and get the full return it earns when a little thought is put behind it. Admittedly, this all sounds rather general and wild—somewhat like the wholesale half-promises of an oil prospectus. But back of every word is the definite knowledge born of 17 increasingly suc- cessful years working with Washington real estate—17 years work- ing to a position of confidence that we would not risk for any possi- bility of profit. We want an opportunity to be specific, to furnish every investor with the facts and the figures. We can put a finger on the very piece of property you ought to buy and we can show you how to buy, finance and manage it, just as we are doing that very thing for other investors every day.
