16 HARRISBURG REAL ESTATE BOARD You Can Obtain Information Regarding These Properties From Any Member p- Harrisburg Real Estate AS AN INVESTMENT The efforts put forth and the money invested during the past fifteen years in the develop ment of Harrisburg by the municipal govern ment, public service corporations and its build ers and citizens generally has effected a com plete transformation of the/city and a marked increase in real estate values in most parts of Harrisburg and vicinity is the result. Fifty per cent, advances have been of fre quent occurrence, while advances of one hun dred per cent, are not unusual and in a few cases as much as five hundred per cent has been realized, thus making handsome profits for the builder and realty investor as well as being profitable to the city and public service corpor ations interested. This is particularly true vhere the property is just in course of develop ment. With sanitary sewers, pure water, paved streets, public parks, and all the facilities and conveniences of a modern city, Harrisburg is now, and will continue to be, thoroughly pre pared to welcome and care for the larger and greater industrial and business establishments and in any number provided we keep the build ing and development work in action. It is the duty of Qvery citizen to help to make our town grow by investing at home, and what a pleasant duty it is when it brings the handsome profits which have been realized in many cases in the past, and which are equally certain to be realized in the future from real estate investments. There never were more opportunities than there are to-day.

SEEK BKRVTCES OF RKAI/TY EXPERTS OF CITY'S BOARD Services of the valuation committee of the Harrisburg Real Estate Board have never been so much in demand as during the last few months and the c reation of this committee by the city's organisation of realty men is generally conceded to be one of the most impor tant moves in realty circles that has been attempted in Harrisburg in many a day. The committee is composed of three active brokers who are owners and builders and whose services have been rendered with satisfaction to their clients and credit to the Real Estate Board. The man who has money to lend is certainly interested in having the best | possible opinion as to the value of the I property on which he contemplates taking- a mortgage, and the market value of a property is equally impor tant to seller and buyer, because, be fore a sale can be made, both the principals must be agreed as to price. It lias been stated by one of our leading brokers that appraisals are be ing sought for more and more every flay. The interested parties quite cheerfully pay for such services the same as they would pay for advice from their lawyer or physician. PUZZLE —| 1 WIN A M M LOT Here are 9 squares.
