OWN YOUR OWN HOME

XIIAT Joy it would bo to Imve a home all your own, built as a home
v should be built, arranged as you've always wanted your house, every
thing ordered as you want it, when you want it your own yard, and a cot
tage garden!
Theresa nothing like owning a home to make a man realize that he's a sub
stantial citizen, or to give people the confidence in him ho deserves.
Vou can't measure the value of owning our own home on a dollar and conta
t.asis alone and yet with rents still on the increase and the price of build
ing stabilized, probably for years to come, home building and home owning
never was a better investment.
Just add to that the eatisfaction and contentment for your wife, a better
placo for the babies to grow up, a more '.'livable" environment .
A mtc investment? Your hotl& and lot are flis safe as a bond, There is an.
unprecedented market now fr improved property yon can "cash in aft
once if you wthli. Five jejirs lienej, even though building prices slowly
settle to a Ivwvv level, the mmendens buildini activity that must come in
the meant;.:)? will give vtmir investment a substantial Increase in value.
Prices will hold steady for years! You'll surely build seme
day and you'll never find a more opportune time than now

TO you hesitate because you think
- prices are too high and you'll
wait for them to drop? You're mak
ing a mistake, for prices must stay at
a higfi level fon years.
Consider the facts. There's, a. tremen
dous market in Europe and here at
home for everything we can make
the fundamental law of supply and de
mand must work. We have an unpre
cedented amount of gold in the coun
try, and when there is more money in
circulation and no great increase in
production, we simply pass more gold
around for our goods. We have high
prices in figures but not in reality,
for if wages are higher and goods are
higher, the balance remains the same.
So long as the gold stays here, prices
will hold up. In short, business men
say unreservedly that if prices do go
down at all, it will be very, very slow
ly. In the meantime, rents are higher
and you pay relatively more to live
as great proportion as though you
built your rome at present figures.
urge you to build because you
will not only help yourself, but
you will help relieve the housing situ
ation in our city. If this city is to
prosper, we must have places to live.
The home that you Build will add per
manent value, add to the wealth and
prosperity of the entire city, give, us
opportunity to expand.
And if we can make you realize that
it is to your advantage to build now,
you will help start the wheels of in
dustry. You will put men to work
producing the $7,500 you spend will
call for materials and supplies. The
overnment asks you to build now to
give returning soldiers work in factor
ies and trades. In short, you'll not
only help yourself but you'll help this
community, the nation, and society as
a whole.
We would be glad to talk this matter
over individually with you ask the
advice of business men immediately
and have them confirm what we say.

Then shall wo praise what here we

For then the carpet shall be turned.
