BDY lOURSELF A HOME AWAT FBOM THE SEA AT ESCONDIDO ! 



And the following are a few of the many substantial reasons why you should do so: because, 



It has special advantages tending to the perpetuation of life. Located 12 miles inland 

 /rem the sea, at an altitude of 700 feet, the ocean breezes passing over the land lose a great 

 portion of their humidity before reaching Escondido, while the heat of the earth over which 

 they pass has a great influence in imparting a warmth and balminess to the atmosphere. 

 This IS noticed by every one visiting the town. It is this balmy air and higher air which is 

 exercising such a powerful influence in building up a city and securing home-seekers for the 

 lots and i, 2, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 80 acres tracts embraced in the, Escondido town site and 

 ranch. 



Because, its altitude secures for it almost double the annual rainfall of the immediate 

 coast, while the still greater rainfall in the mountains near by causes an unfailing supply 

 of running waier under the soil and close to the surface. 



Because it has a rich soil, that will produce oranges, lemons, limes, guavas, grapes 

 and all the fruits of the temperate zone, as well as semi-tropical fruits, which can be grown 

 almost without care in the rich red loam which is spread over valley and plains. 



Because its soil will produce all of the ordinary fruits and vines without a particle of 

 irrigation, and the evidence is here to substantiate this statement. 



Because its location is superb in all that constitutes grandeur of natural scenery. The 

 situation is in every respect desirable and delightful for residence purposes, and there is no 

 spot in the world better adapted for the relief of persons suffering from pulmonary diseases 

 and general debilitv. 



Because it will be one of the great educational centers of Southern California A fine 

 college is now being built, and is to be pushed rapidly to completion. It will be under the 

 auspices of the University of California, which insures its permanence and influence. 



Because Escondido homes will have fruits and flowers every month in the j'ear, this 

 being assured by the most even temperature which the world affords, consequently they 

 will possess all of the attractions which make life desirable. No saloons. All deeds con- 

 tain a clause prohibiting the sale of spirituous liquors. 



Because it is now, and must always remain, the very stronghold of health, exhilarating 

 air and comfort in summer, and a pleasant retreat from cold and disagreeable winters. 



Because, by the first day of January, 1888, Escondido will be one of the Pacific Coast 

 terminal points of the great Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad system. 



Because Escondido, lor climate, soil, water, scenery, location, and a commanding com- 

 mercial situation in the interior, stands wholly unrivalled on the great Pacific Coast.
