A Fow Thoughts in Relation to

Northeast Washington

SOME TERSELY TOLD TRUTHS

By One of tho Foremost Londoroof Thought In That SectionThat Will Amply Justify a Oarofull Perusal

To SUBURBAN PEOPLEThe object of the following linosattract the attention of the anbnt

ban people to the many superior ad-vantages offered by the northeast sec-

tion of Washington as a place ofresidence

If you live in the suburbs and contemplate making a change oomo tonortheast section of Washington andlook around

It is a section that will hear theclosest scrutiny

It is a seotion that offers tho great-est possible inducements to men ofmoderate means

It is a section dotted with homespeopled by lawabiding andthirfty people-

It offers to the tenant low rout and-a comfortable home

It offers to the purchaser numerouswellbuilt houses nt very low cost

Among tho thousand and moro ad-vantages offered by every well orderedcity you will find in Northeast Wash-ington

The finest schoolsAmple police protectionExcellent fire protectionRapid transit to all parts of theDls

triot of Columbia for one fareWell streetsWell lighted streetsGood

complete and perfect seweragesystem

Churches of all denominations-A good marketA temple where many different

lodges meetSocieties of all kindsTheatres within easy accessIn short everything that makes for

the comfort peace and well beingof mankind

In tho matter of Northeast Washington is the banner sectionof tho District

If you have been unfortunate enough-to situated remote fromthe of life and are ever for-tunate enough to soil come to Northeast Washington and wo will put youin close touch with the good things ofthis life

Do you suffer fromPoor roadsPoor sidewalksPoor police protectionPoor fire protectionPoor social surroundingsPoor church advantagesPoor municipal governmentIf so your indicate that

a ohang6 would bo desirable Ilelielfrom all the above troubles may behad in Northeast Washington

RespectfullyLOKINO GaApriXi

822 H St N Ehave known MrChuppol for

a number of and it is no dioparagmont to other men of ability in

Washington is it anyflection on thorn to say that ho standsout conspicuously as the ono manwhoso opinion is most frequentlysought and most highly

He came to tho Northeast section otWashington in 1872 withwhich ho invested there and ho hasresided in the same locality contin-uously ever since

His faith in tho section and its fatnro was strong in 1872 and it hascontinued uninterruptedly ever sincebeing today stronger than over

Ho Las built moro than one hundredand twentyfive and possibly as many-as ono hundred and fifty intho Northeast section and they haveall been well built substantial struc-tures that have found sale

He is one of tho largest if notlargest holder of real property in hissection and a man whose word no onodisputes

Ho it n member of the Board ofTrade and an active member of thoNortheast Washington Citizens Asfoelation being connected withother organizations that make forprogress

His success has warped hisjudgment ao that parties seeking hitadvice can rely absolutely on what hosays people who for anycause desire to make a change willfind in tho reflections over MrChappols signature much food forthought wo commend them to onrireaders Editor Suburban Citizen
