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.

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.
