"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.
