AINT ASAN ASSET,
Bankers Say They Lend More
Money on Property When
Buildings Are Well Painted.
AN INDICATION OF THRIFT.
served the loan rate would not only
lie cheaper, hut the amount of money
borrowed would he larger. A northern
Illinois hunk does not hesitate to sny
that it would loan fully 50 per cent,
more on n farm where buildings were
well painted and In good order than
where they were not. The vice presi-
dent, who answers the Inquiry, goes
on to sny: “There probably are many
fanners good financially and morally
who permit their buildings to remain
unpainted, hut ns a rule the most sub»
stantial people who live in the coun-
try keep their buildings well painted.'*
An Iowa bnnk, through Its vice pres-
ident, states that it would make a dif-
ference of at least 25 per rent'. In fa-
vor of the farm with painted build-
ings. Another Iowa concern says that
; it would make a difference of at least
20 per cent.
All this being true, It Is perfectly
evident that It Is a good business prop-
1 ositlon to keep the farm buildings well
J painted. They not only look better
| and are more pleasing to the owner,
put the farm would sell to better ad-
vantage, the loan value of the property
would he greatly Increased and the
I buildings themselves would last much
longer and need less repuir.—The
j American Agriculturist.

Does It pn.v to paint carefully fnrrr
buildings? Docs it add to the selling
value of n farm when buildings are
properly kept up and regularly paint-
ed? A careful Inquiry of a number of
leading hankers In the Mississippi val-
ley, Including such states ns Iowa, Illi-
nois, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Mis-
souri, reveals the fact that In nearly
every case the hankers did not hesi-
tate to say that they would lend all the
way from 5 to 50 per cent, more on
land where farm buildings were well
painted and kept In good condition.
They maintain that well kept-up and
well painted buildings and fences ure
nil Indication of thrift and that the
thrifty farmer is a good client, and to
him money enn he safely loaned. An
average of the returns from these
hankers shows that the Increased loan
• value because of painted buildings is
around 22 per cent.
Some of these bankers make Inter-
esting comment. A Michigan concern
says that, while not especially pre-
pared to advise definitely In response
to this Inquiry, tin* officers would loan
more money on farms where buildings
were painted than where they were
not so treated. This hank also finds
that where houses, burns and fences
I are well taken care of the farm Is a
profitable proposition, and bunkers In
general consider the farmer a good
client. Another Michigan hank says
“farm buildings out of repair and
needing paint indicate that tlie owner |
Is slow pay.” Such farms nre rated at
about one-third of the hssessed value "
for Ion ns. Where the farm buildings ",
in good shape tlie rntlug Is one-
"Thrift is the surest and strongest
foundation of an empire; so sure, so
strong, so necessary, that no nation
