B.C., FRIDAY, AUGUST 16th, 1929 No. 22 Real Estate in West Vancouver There is an impression in the minds of some that real estate in 1Vest Vancouver is quiet, and that not much is being done in the way of sales. Below will be found a list of proper- ties which have recently changed hands. In boom times when properties are sold and resold a num- ber of times within a short period. it becomes patent to all th t real estate is active. It is the chief topic of conversation on the street and everyone is telling everyone else of sales an rumors of sales. This is a time of an active mining and oil market, and that furnishes at present the chief topic. Real estate is still selling steadily, and the average individual hears of it, but does not pass the information along, the result being a general im- pr~ion that there is little doing in real estate. 1Ve believe that IVest V'incouver property will never be cheaper than it is today, and those who own property here can be assured that they have a stake in the district which has the brightest future in Greater Vancouver.

Be More Than Residents---Be Citizens EVERYBODY HAS A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF CIVIC PRIDE--that sort of pride which helps make a village a toe n, and a town a metropolitan city. The growth of any community is dependent upon the sup port, given its citizens. If you fail in your co-operation the town either stands still or retrogrades. If you uphold it by sustaining it wholeheartedly you help yourself and the com- munity. You can help, and help very materially, in improving the conditions in West Vancouver by spending your money in )Vest Vancouver. Your local merchant is here to stay. Not here today and gone tomorrow. Not rushing into West Vancouver grabbing all business to be had and out again. Not by extravagant talk and over-statements forcing inferior merchandise on you. Not dodging taxes, cine responsibilities and all duties of citizenship. Not a parasite. Not an insidious destructionist Such only is the peddler, the canvasser, the self-styled travelling representative, who comes at any hour, rings your doorbell, takes your money--and once around the corner--is gone for ever. Compare that type with the West Vancouver merchants and business people. Our business people and merchants are here 365 days a year to serve you at your convenience; to back up the mer- chandise they sell to you; to share taxes and civic responsibil- ities; to help make the community life happier and more prosperous', to rejoice in your joys; to be neighborly; to sorrow with you when trouble comes,--and to stand by you in need. The future of West Vancouver hinges absolutely on cum- munity loyalty from every one of its citizens. AVest Vancouver FIRST--then, loyalty to its merchants and business people, its churches and schools; to community activities, to neighbors--and, in so doing we will all be making progress in our homes and in our investments. THE DOLLAR THAT YOU SPEND HERE, STAYS HERE AND WORKS--whether it goes into civic improvements, via taxes, better schools, roads, churches, streets--or whether it simply goes into more merchandise for your next needs--it circulates at home. WEST VANCOUVER IS PROGRESSING. That most cit- izens are helping in this progress is evidenced by the growth of our beautiful municipality; but we will progress mucb more rapidly if every citizen will help the other fellow so that he may better help you. DIVIDE YOUR DOLLARS AMONG YOUR iAIERCHANTS and others who have the interests of the populace at heart. Help them and they will help you to greater values--for in- creased volume means decreased costs. Remember your neighbor will take better care of you than a stranger. It is to his interest to do so. His future depends on his winning and holding your confidence and friendship- and he's right here to make good any mistakes. BE )IORE THAN RESIDENTS--BE CITIZENS. i5 ~'O INSTAI. WATER I'UMP The municipal engineer report- ed to the council on Monday night 4ri the shortage of water in the district supplied by Broth- ~ r's Creek. Ile recommended the iristallation of a temporary pump to supply houses between tlie 200 rind 400 foot levels until weather conditions should change.
