Lots Now $245 S10 Down and $5 Per Month The time to buy these Lots is NOW. All Lots unsold in this section will advance 30 per cent. June 1st. We do not desire to intimate by this composite map of New York and Long Island that Massapequa is the only place on Long Island it is not, but it is Long Island's largest sub- urban city development.

We do desire to impress upon you the fact of the Montauk Division being the great and important division of the L.I.R.R. that it is the Broadway of Long Island- that all lines which will operate through the tunnels and over the bridges will operate direct over this division and that Massapequa will be the most important suburban city on the South Side: It will be because of its great natural advantages and location its roads, lakes and parks because it will be a seaportbecause we are spending millions in improvements, installing water, gas, sewers and cement sidewalks throughout this great development because thousands have bought and are buying home sites at Massapequa, and because it is a perpetual development. All lots are within a short walk of one of the three depots. I We say to YOU that the advance in lot values at Mass-1 apequa will not be less than 500 per cent, in five years. REMEMBER THE HISTORY OF THE BRONX, WHERE LAND VALUES ADVANCED 900 PER CENT, on the one Subway; with THREE SUCH TUNNELS and THREE GREAT BRIDGES building TO LONG ISLAND the situation spells OPPORTUNITY.
