Get Your Share of $7,000,000.00 Not a pipe dream, not a fantasy, but a living fact; an actual reality. Examine the facts and judge for yourself This sum, and more, will be realized by the Washington public in the near future in the rise in land values in “DISTRICT HEIGHTS,” the most beautiful and most promising of Washington’s new suburban developments. What is the basis of this optimistic prediction, vou ask? P Here are the facts: Check up on them! First: Get in vour auto (evervhody has one now), make a complete encircling tour in a seven-mile zone (or even eight or nine miles), taking the Capitol or the White Housc as the center, and see if vou can buy building sites as magnificently situated as “DISTRICT HEIGHTS,” with a character all its own, with an up-to-date water and sewer system, drainage, wide improved streets and boulevards, concrete sidewalks and curbing, electric lights, shade trees and a most inspiring landscape, for less than fiftv cents per square foot. Then take paper and pencil in hand and bring into play your addition and multiplication tables. Your first factor is that we now sell lots at twelve cents per square foot: the second, that we have 625 acres. These lots should be sold and resold over and over again and then, day by day. yvear by vear, they will increase and multiply first, twenty cents, then twenty-five cents, thirty cents, forty cents, fifty cents, and <o on the course that land has alwayvs taken, and see if it does not mount and exceed the Second: -dizzy height of the figures indicated in our headline. Chevy Chase as lllustration If you are a wiseacre, a skeptic, and want proof—here it is: Look up the history of the vast area known as Chevy Chase, both District of Columbia and Marvland. Only ‘a matter of twenty-five or thirty vears or so since it was opened up, vou could have bought all of the land for five and ten cents a foot and less. Only five’and ten vears-ago vou were greeted on either side of Connecticut Ave. by woods, hills and forests, and now! homes, apartment houses and stores, and what prices! a dollar, two dollars, three dollars per foot and up and up and still more upward is the price level. Do you or any one else have an idea of the millions made in the suc- cessive sales and resales? Chevy Chase is a leading illustration hut not an exceptional one. The same thing on a lesser scale repeated itself in the smaller and younger suburban developments. Just to mention a few by name: Takoma Park. D. C. and Maryland: the numerous developments on the Rockville Pike and Georgia Avenuc, and such recent develop- ments as Battery Park and University Park. Water and Sewerage Installed This much can be added in favor of “DISTRICT HEIGHTS.” Aside from the fact that it excells all of the others in picturesqueness, natural scenic glory and - "level topography at an unusually high altitude, meaning better and cleaner air and reffeshing Summer breezes, “DISTRICT HEIGHTS” has “shown an unparalleled rapid growth, In no other similar community-have the promoters undertaken, four months after the opening date, the installation of an up-to-date, modern, fully equipped water and sewer svstem at an immense expenditure. In no other section is to be seen the feverish activity as at “DISTRICT HEIGHTS.” In short,. at this time “DISTRICT whether you are a home secker or an investor, HEIGHTS™ is by far the best buy for the reasons: First—I-rom the viewpoint of the HOME SEEKIER, yvou have a community of CHARACTER where the rigid restrictions and covenants as well as its largeness are guarantees against deterioration in values and desirability. and where vou have all conceivable up-to-date improvements at a price of one-fourth of land of similar quality and desirability and located on one of*the finest improved arterial highwayvs, only twenty minutes from the heart of the city. fnr vou Second—From the standpoint of the INVESTOR, vou have an opportunity to buy at pioneer period prices, i. e.. prices fixed in a new, and voung development to attract purchasers, prices that are certain to jump by leaps and bounds upon extraordinary casy terms.
