THE IMMIGRATION TO SAN DIEGO 



-<goS > -oIS^- 



I7XT ENSIVE Improvements are going on, values are increasing steadily, and the town 

 Hf is now ripe for a good suburban town adjacent to San Diego. Appreciating this fact 

 and taking time by the forelock, we have secured a tract of a land in the beautiful Otay 

 Valley, ten miles southeast of San Diego, lying inland from the bay two miles, and from 

 the ocean four. Far enough to avoid the fogs and raw winds sometimes quite uncomfort 

 able on the ocean Surrounded by fruit farms where grow in luxuriance the apple and the 

 orange, the lemon and the peach, the apricot and the lime, the nectarine, the olive, guava, 

 plum, prune and grape in every variety; in short, all fruits and vegetables known to tem- 

 perate and semi-tropical latitudes, and where the rose, geraniums and all kinds of beauti- 

 ful flowers bloom the year round in the open gardens. 



THIS TRACT slopes gently to the South, just enough for drainage. The climate is not 

 excelled in the world, and the whole tract is underlaid with pure, soft and cold moun- 

 tain water at a depth of from twenty-five to forty feet. We have platted this magnifi- 

 cent piece of land under the name of Otay in honor of the valley, and so popular is the lo- 

 cation that one hundred lots were taken in a retail way within two hours of the tim : it was 

 put on the market We have put a steam motor on the ground and several trains are 

 running aaily between Otay and San Diego. We have also connected it by telephone, se- 

 cured a postoffice, a fine store, hotel and livery stable Have given a nice corner for a 

 church, and aim to do everything in our power to advance the iiiterests of the place. It is 

 just the right distance out for Suburban Homes, and for investment cannot be excelled on 

 this coast of great possibilities. Believing in the nimble sixpence we have put the lots on 

 the market at a small profit to ourselves and giving all investors an opportunity to make a 

 handsome profit.
