They propose to "liquidate" Chevrolet Park, which is merely another way of saying that thev propose to dispose of every re Plaining lot in that tract at the most absolute bargain prices. It Is a gen uine case of closing out a tract at prloen.in which tho bargain hunter will delight.

Gen erally speaking, It is just across te road from Mills College, and consists of slightly rolling and very pretty country.

The street work Is of a very hich class, the sewers are, in most cn.tes. of cast iron, and everything was thoroughly done. The war came JtiHt as the property was to bo of fcred to the public, and little was done with it durrng that period of anxiftty and excitement.

After the war closed the property was offered for sale, and at different times there have ben sale held that disposed of many of the lots. One of these' sales was of the "dollar down anil doliar a week" variety, and while the entire tract was sold off, some of the purchasers did not keep up their payments. It was the experience of the owners that a sale based upon so small a payment did not prove satisfactory, and some lots drifted back into their possession. The owners of the tract have on their hands' a little bunch of lots upon Which something has paid and which, they. Want to get rid of.

They propose to give the public the lull beneiit of all that they have been paid upon the property plus everything that they can spare. They want to se.11 every lot and are going to do it at the most remarkable bargain price. When It Is announced that these lots will go at an average of $400 each the extent of the bargain can ba realized.
