WEDNESDAY REALTY VIEWS Moit experienced people follow. n old saying when it comes to invest their life's savings: "Don't put all your eggs in one fTfc basket." They f J scatter their In- vestments here I . and there in I aSa. I, stocks, bonds, in- a v su'ance, savings f . v accounts and rejt estate. But one of the wealthiest men our nation ever Frd Ches produced attacked that philosophy. Said Andrew Carnegie: "Put all your money in one basket then watch that basket!" That is sound advice. Scattering your investments leads to low returns. But putting it all in a good sized property frequently results in high earnings. Also it is probably safer too since it Is a la roe enough invest ment so that you don't nea'ect it. Yes, you should consider real estate (as Carnegie did) for your bas ket. Real estate is easily watched. You can see It, feel it, walk by It Come rain or shine, dark or dawn, panic. or boom ti's there! Consult us NOW on a well-selected real estate investment.
