Better Housing Section M edford Mail Thirtieth Year MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, JUNE .13, 1935. lIUUWIIIIIIIIIIIMIiW im m L ' " T . . ATURDAY, June 15th, will be celebrated throughout the nation as National Better Housing Day ... a day dedicated to the building and modernizing of American homes! From the turn ing of the first spadeful. of earth to the last nail driven in the finished structure, each of these homes that has been and will be erected or im- ,. proved, will be a symbol a symbol representing a community s belief in its homes and its lam iiies."Each will be a further investment in a solid foundation of social and business life. Each rep resents a new opportunity granted to every American citizen under the National Housing Act the ownership of a modern, livable home paid for out of income with actual ownership a certainty. o Let us "dig in" further to beautify, to modernize, and to repair each home in this city in our neighborhood on our street. Let us add conveniences that tend toward better living! Those of us who are not home owners should lay the foundations of our new homes at once! Are you a property owner? You can have exactly the kind of home you want. Modern, livable, and up-to-date. The kind of a home you have dreamed of. The improvements you have wanted. Money is available through financial institutions in the form of Modern ization Credit. Capital for the citizens of this community to invest in home comfort and convenience up to $2,000 may be borrowed on Modernization Credit and repaid monthly, out of income, over periods up to 3 years and even 5 years. No red tape. No down payment. And you can enjoy a modernized home while you pay for the modernization. Do you want to own a home? If you do, the way is paved for you also under the National Housing Act. You can build a home this year. You can buy a home. And you can finance it with a Government-insured first mortgage that covers up to 80 of its value. Gone is the old rigmarole of home financing with one, two, or three mortgages with refinancing and all the other things that made complications and kept you from ownership. By the new plan, you are offered the certitude of home ownership because you pay off the mortgage in convenient monthly installments. For 12, 15, or 20 years you can make monthly payments just like rent. Each payment includes interest charges, a part of the principal and an installment on the taxes and insurance. Any approved local lending institution will gladly explain the details of this new direct way to home ownership. if.
