Wilmington real estate today is making the best possible in-jtment he could pick if he makes his selection wsiiy There is nothing than pays better than real estate in a growing community Southern California is the most rapidly developing section of the country today and the entire harbor section will develope along with it becaue this is the gateway and as the population increases so will the commerce But there is wide difference between investments and speculation While real estate in the harbor district is certain to increase in value generally as the years go by and no one can lose money on it at present prices anywhere in the harbor district if he can hold it a note of warning now against too much speculation in certain sections may not be out of place San Pedro and Wilmington real estate compared with other sections in Southern California oJ equal population and opportunity generally speaking is low in price and is certain to increase in value byt in a speculative era such as we are experiencing today all over Southern California careful com parisons are not always made and prices have been paid in some cases for property that is all out of proportion to values in other sections of the harbor dis-) trict Purchasers who have the cash to pay for their property and can afford to hold it are certain to profit no matter in what part of the district they buy but those who buy on in the hope of quick profits should study market conditions carefully i Every growing community has it ups and down Periods of depression sooner or later overtake periods of speculation When buy- jjn slacks and property is hard to sell then is-when the law of com- parative values makes itself felt The inflated district is the first to feel the effects and' those who ve not the resources

to be developed on a large scale by the Outer Harbor Dock and Wharf Company which was organized by the men who secured the franchise Those who have held property in the south part of town all these years are now in a position to realize handsomely upon their investments But hundreds who were compelled to sacrifice lost money because when the boom collapsed it was found that property in other sections of town could be purchased much cheaper This is the reason that the section overlooking the outer harbor east of Pacific Avenue has been the slowest to develop Those who are buying property in San Pedro and Wilmington today should take warning from the experiences of others Property on one street cannot be sustained at prices all out of proportion to property on other streets in the same community with equal traffic advantages The acid test of real estate prices is the rental value Traffic conditions in a com-mcnity the size of San Pedro with such prospects for advancement are so subject to change that the man who pays four or five times as much for property today in one block as is asked for other property just around the corner or on some other street that with changed conditions may have an equal advantage is taking a jhance He may win but to take Ahis chance the buyer should be prepared to back his judgment through fat and lean years and hang oi until development
