I t ’s A Fact
For Every Dollar You Spend Now
on Your Home — You Get $2 Back!
Figure it this way
Home values are continuing to go
up. Every brick in your home will be worlh 20% to 50%
more. Every improvement you put in will be worth more
too. And because modern insulation, roofing, weather-
stripping, plumbing and construction fetch a trem endous
prem ium on the resale m arket, every $500 you spend now
can get you $1000 on the resale. M eanwhile you are en
joying your investment in better living.
There was never a better lime to invest in home im
