' A Typical Grosse Isle Home i Why Not Make Detroit Pay 20 per cent, on your investment? Yes, but how can you do it? PROPERTY in any fast-growing big city is one of the best investments possible. .... Your money is secure—the possibility of doubling and redoubling is assured. Good investment property requires two main essentials: First — to be highly restricted and impovements assured: Second —■ good location near a large industrial centre. Grosse Isle possesses both essentials to a marked degree. Detroit is probably the fastest growing city and the -wealthiest per capita in the world. A great many Canadians have become wealthy by buying proper­ ty there and selling out later at high figures. The last island 'near Detroit (131/2 miles from the City Hall) is Grosse Isle, 6 miles long by 1 mile wide, which is now being sold for highly-restricted home sites. It is freely predicted that within five years ‘or less the island of Grosse Isle will be the banner residential suburb of t’he big city. Grosse Isle property will be highly restricted. No street cars or factories will be allowed. One block is reserved for stores, garage, service station, etc. Only first-class homes may be built and some of Detroit’s most prominent profes­ sional and business men, (names supplied upon request), now have homes under construction costing as high as $55,000 exclusive of the land value. Henry Ford recently purchased 30 acres and has already erected on the river bank a private hydroplane hangar. £ A Collegiate Institute containing some thirty classrooms is planned, first unit, now under construction. I Three bridges will connect with the mainlands; one costing $2,500,000,4 linking up with the famous Dixie Highway; The International $6,000,000 Bridge with connections to our main Canadian Highways. A regular, rapid'boat ser­ vice between the Island and Detroit is also being contemplated. Hydro and telephones are in; sewer and water connections are being made and the present owner is paying all costs, including sidewalks and maca­ damized streets, which means low taxes. Gas arrangements are under way. There are three churches established already?a private school and public school. An exclusive wealthy club occupies the south end of the island with an aeroplane field of 600 acres. There are 120 foot boulevards and every advan­ tage of a real undertaking of the highest type. There are many investi.nent.s- wc miss. Why, therefore, not seek full in­ formation. investigate and then act. Phone the undersigned for an appointment, any lime on September 4th or Sth at the Central Hotel, Exeter “ -............ - ......• J The Bell Telephone Company has issued a statement that De­ troit will reach 2,000,000 by 1945. Grosse Isle is the last city is­ land possessing natural beauty; all modern improvements now be­ ing installed. Grosse Isle has also a river running through it diagonally. Water property is becoming scarce around Detroit, therefore, very valuable. Al transportation; By auto, 20 minutes; bus service and boat service. Excellent schools, three golf links, cool summers. Exclusive property which always reaches high values. * 4 * BYROMAR GARDENS GROSSE ISLE, MICHIGAN W. A.
