Dead tint on Classified Adit 8 -so p m tor following day; 10 a.m. Mun dy noon Saturday (or Sunday ajn WEDNESDAY REALTY VIEWS "My Hobby?" exclaimed Ben, a chunky man about 40. "Well, maybe I don't have one unless you'd count real estate TRAD ING. I've spent a lot of time doing that In the last ten years." W knew he had. He had horse - trading blood in his viens. We had sold property to him and for him sev eral times, but Fred Chei each time he came back again with a new idea. "You may not remember," he said, "but I arrived here with very few assets. However, I made them do. I first traded for a small tract on the edge of the city." "How much down payment?" I asked. He grinned as he answered, "Just a Model A Ford and an old cow. Over the years I've kept trading un til my equity now is worth about $5,000." "That's good," I remarked. "Sure," he said with a smile, "if I'd never started, the Model A would now be in some junk heap and the cow would be dead." Well, frankly, folks, that fellow may have something there, at that. While trading may not be desirable (unless you have itchy feet), it is a good idea to get started owning your own place no matter how small it may be at first. Give use a chance to serve you.
