The cabin waa built In 1&07, by
fhalr father. William J I-urk. a
famer. At his death more than

Rig seventy acres bet * eon them.
TEw brothers did all their own work
gtatll fifteen year* ago. when, en

Ifcna the Lurk* could afford, and

Not only delicious—but there's “life” in
%
Grape-Nuts
Try this experiment yourself. Take some Grape-Nuts
direct from tie package. Hold the granules in the palm
of your hand under sunlight or an electric bulb. You will
notice tiny ahkiing particles of light on the granules—
the starch of the grams transformed.
IT.en do the same thing with some other prepared
food—-any other prepared food. You don’t see these
ftiataiing particles.
jLv “There’s a Reason”
The wonderful taste— the wonderful nourishment in
thlfl great food is due to the fact, that in addition to
the Sweetness of the whole wheat is combined the deli
cate flavor and food value of malted barley.
TW* gives Grape-Nuts two great factors that no mere
wheat feed can possese. The delicious rest of malted
bailey Imparts a savor that is universally liked; and
beyond that, the barley contains a digestive (not in
wheat) which. with long baking, transforms the starch
of these full grains into a form of sugar which shows on
the golden-brown granules.
If you haven’t tried Grape-Nuts food you have a treat
,ln store. It not only appeals to the appetite but is a
' powerful rebuilder for body and brain.

Building Permits Tell
the Growth of Value—
YOU MIGHT have heard—at some time or another —
that Detroit is being over subdivided. This isl not the
case, however, and today I am going to prove it to you,
WHEN A CITY is "over subdivided." the first thing to
show the results is the number ana value of building
permits. The law of average will convince you— you
MUST believe facts and figures.
BUILDING PERMITS for the year 1915 show that
there were more issued for property OUTSIDE the city
limits than were issued within. This means that nearby
property is rapidly growing in value because it is the
buildng up of the property that marks the ncrease.
i
IT IS NATURAL that the building done should be on
property adjacent or very near a car line. The greatest
growth and the largest increase in values certainly
appear first on one of the arteries of travel. In certain
localities we know, lots are today selling at NINE
TIMES the original purchase price!
The subdivisions owned and sold by this office are in the
most rapidly growing districts and the opportunities
for profitable investments are many.
