went on, extinguishing a small blaze
caused by an oil stove.

How many times have you wished, as
the first of the month rolled around, and
the landlord stood expectantly at the
door, that you owned your own home?
Make that wish come true! Be your own
landlord. Pay rent to yourself every
month instead of to an outsider whom you
are helping to make rich.
Count the money that you have paid
out since you began to pay rent. It's a
tidy sum, isn't it, and would build a com-
fortable home, or perhaps two?
We now have several homes completed ready for
But you may select your plans and we will build it
as you wish.
It's worth while to get in touch with us if you want
to own a home.
Come out this afternoon and see these homes—
