Summary

55% Informative

Vancouver was having a crazy boom on May 4, 1910 , when the population of the city had nearly quadrupled in a decade .

An illustration in a Vancouver World contest had Vancouver ’s population growing to 500,000 by 1915 .

One of the biggest ads was labelled “ All Roads Lead to Chilliwack .” The biggest real estate excursion was out of the Lower Mainland , to the “ Sands of Savary Island ”.

For some reason the Savary ads stopped in 1911 but resumed in 1912 , when the Savary Island Park Association seems to have been replaced by The Savary Island Co. Evidently people had been subdividing some of Savary ’s lots, which were quite deep: an ad tells buyers not to be “misled” into buying a “dinky half -lot” over the bigger Savary Island Co. lots..
