There are many cases of poor people at tempting to purchase homes or the land upon which to build homes, who happen to get in touch with unethical brokers. Theyadvance their earnest money or first pay ment n may be fifty dollars or several hundred dollars. Through some happening or another, either legitimate or otherwise, the deal does hot go through and the earn est money has either been spent or held by the broker to the loss and embarrassment of the intendend purchaser.

This 'for roofing materials of all types. Most of these roofs are hot per manent; their average span of life is 15, years or less, tin other words 20,000,000 squares of roofing are replaced each year; It is safe to say that this replacement costs American home owners more than $50,000,000 or not far from fl, 000,000 a month, j One hundred and eighteen cit es and towns -have banned v wood shingle roof. !
