No va cancies in this he use, generally a waiting list. Investigation will show that considering the steady income very little personal attention is re quired. X' Some thrifty wife can soon own a property that will augment the family income just about double the amount the average thrifty husband is able to produce. A good small five or six room dwelling will be considered as part payment. The balance can be ar ranged on reasonable terms. Call at office and see the photograph of the property and if you are a hustler and really want something good you will be interested in knowing the details. Geo. H.
