YOU WILL REGRET IT
IF you DO NOT SELECT YOUR LOT IN
FOREST HOME NOW
Without any doubt this property is to be the highest class home
addition ever put on for colored people in Houston. Here are the
reasons we say this:
The natural beauty of the property—there is no prettier
piece of property anywhere in Houston than FOREST HOME.
2nd It will have modern improvements like sanitary sewer, city
water and shell streets. The sanitary sewer has already been laid
over the greater portion of the property. Water lines have also been
installed and, remember this—the water connection and sanitary
connection is free.
3rd—You will not have to wait for improvements, because, as
stated in the preceding paragraph, the sanitary sewer and the water
lines are already practically completed, and work is now under way
on the streets. At the time oi this.writing teams are digging a large
drainage ditch to Brays Bayou, which will mean that Forest Home
will be a well drained property.
4th—At the prices that we are offering Forest Home lots and
with the manner in which it is being developed, there is no question
but that there will be considerable increase in value on these lots as
time passes.
5th—We are offering Forest Home Lots at prices and on terms
that make them within reach of every ambitious man or woman who
wants a location for a home, or who wants to make a profitable in-
vestment.
The five reasons stated above should be sufficient to cause you
to select your lot or lots now. It would be well worth your while to
take a look at this property.
You can make an appointment to see it by phoning J. H. Robert-
son, our colored representative, at Hadley 6924, and whose home
address is No. 3201 Pierce Avenue. Or, if you prefer, you can
phone direct to our office. We also have other colored representa-
tives, who will be glad to show you this property.
Do not delay in selecting your lot in Forest Home. Get in touch
with us or with one of our representatives.
