Prices are down! Don’t follow the elusive will-of-the-wisp and wait
longer for bottom prices. Bottom prices are here—in Realty—Building
Materials—and Labor.
The “turn” is here and past. America is awake. America is at work
again.
You can’t estimate in dollars and cents alone the value of owning
your own home. You must add satisfaction and contentment for both
yourself and wife—and that makes for a happy household.
There is no one who has not anticipated the pleasure of planning and
building his own home. But that forever “put-it-off” caution has kept us
waiting and waiting for a “more favorable season.”
There never will be a more favorable season than now, favorable from
all standpoints—as an investment—as an opportunity to get full value_
as a means to local prosperity which will mean greater prosperity to you.
We urge you to build from an investment standpoint because the home
you build will add permanent value to the town and be a part of its nat­
ural and healthful expansion. You will help yourself, help to relieve
the housing situation, and aid in a general lowering of taxation.
Let’s make our slogan—“A good home for every family in the com­
munity.”
OF COURSE—
