THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 21, 1913
$198,000.00 THIS IS THE AMOUNT TO COME UP TO DATE FROM THE SUM TOTAL OF SALE OF LOTS AT ROSEMOUNT
This is the strongest proof and the best argument that the public can have that our lots are indisputably the most advantageous on the market. It is impossible to deny it. The facts are there. Besides, how could it be otherwise. A single glance at the indexed plan and one can realize that this part of Montreal, with its amenities, its conveniences and its public services, its lines of tramway and its population increasing from day to day, is bound very soon to become the residential quarter of the East End.
In fact the value of these lots (which measure from 25 x 70 ft. to 25 x 80 ft.) is really extraordinary if one considers that Rosemount possesses all the conveniences of the oldest parts of Montreal including:
Sidewalks, Water, Drains, Church, Banks, Fire Stations, Macademized Streets, Schools, Stores and Electric Light.
The lots are level, dry and at a good elevation. The subdivision practically all rounded by buildings of the highest class.
Two lines of tramway run to Rosemount, and for the accommodation of the increasing population the Montreal Tramway Company is about to lay a double track on Iberville street to Masson street, where our lots are. Rosemount is at 20 minutes distance from the centre of the city.
Prices on cross streets from 25c the foot. Can you buy anywhere in a place possessing a population of about 10,000 souls for less than $500 per lot?
There are only a few lots remaining on Masson street.
Purchasers, do not forget that in buying lots on this subdivision you buy direct from the owner.
On the afternoon of the 25th our representatives will be on the ground at the service of all who wish to visit that magnificent property.
HOW TO GET THERE - All the tram routes from Mount Royal going East connect with those for Rosemount, which go right to 10th Avenue, that is within a few yards of our lots. The tram line from PIe IX Boulevard along Rosemount Boulevard runs also to our property. The fare is the same as in the city.
