Mr. Crawford has passed away and Mr. Conover declines to spend whatever remain- ing days he has as a slave to the management of a at accumula- tion of property. He’s had thirty- three solid years of it and is fed up. Every man is entitled to an oppor- tunity to gratify a few lifelong de- ee Sete in life be- sides money, and mortgages, and being humped up over a desk. We’re going to quit and quit with- in thirty days, and to do it we are unquestionably going to give the public the greatest real estate oppor- tunity ever ‘given in any place or time. That sounds like an extrava- tt statement but we're an old- ashioned, conservative firm and aim to speak inside of the facts.

These subdivisions are in the di- rect line of the city’s very best growth, the growth puts value into real estate. We have been watching and studying Seattle’s growth for thirty-three years. We picked this property years ago as the most advantageous 160 acres in Se- attle for growth, development and profit.
