BOSTON FIsAscIAL AND COMMERCIAL News.
1t has been said by some phil
sopher, that it is great deal harder to
keep money than to make it, and the
experience of countless generations
shows what a substantial foundation
there is for such an assertion. Some
time since, in answer. to circular
letter from leading Boston daily
on the subject how to get rich, Gen
eral Butler strongly advised all young
men to invest in real estate, and gave
excellent reasons in support of his
advice. 1t is real property; it can
not run away, and in this fast grow
ing country steadily increases in value.
The possession of home is one of
the ardent longings of almost every
American citizen. The feasibility of
OBTAINING IA delightful home-site and
of building at moderate expense just
such a home as you wish can be de-
monstrated by calling on George T..
Melvin, agent, who is offering the
large and beautiful lots at West An
napolis at low figures, on the install
ment plan. This practically places
it within the power of every one to
buy lot and own his own home.
Those who have not the immediate
means for building can readily OBJ
tain the amounts required through
Mr.. Melvin-build and pay in install
ments, averaging about the amount
usually paid for rent.
When Patti has most delighted her
audience-when their enthusiasm de-
nlands sentiment that shall be a
climax, then they call upon the DIVA
to sing "Home, Sweet Home" And
do you fancy that the home whose
charms are celebrated in the world
famous song is a rented house? No,
it is the family possession around
which the interest of long associa-
ton and ownership winds bonds that
never break, and snch home may
be yours, for Mr.. Melvin is public
spirited citizen; his purpose is to
encourage industry and frugality,
and to promote thrift and economy
among the residents by providing a
medium through which their savings
may be invested so as to yield the
largest return CONSIDERING with alb
solute safety, to aid parties in ac-
quiring real estate, building houses
and making improvements thereon,
and devoting the money ordinarily
paid for rent to buying homes for
themselves. West Annapolis.-the
name was adopted by the charter of
incorporation, because of the con-
tiguity of the location to the western
boundary of Annapolis. Nothing in
tervenes between this suburb and the
city except the beautiful grounds of
the U. s. Naval Academy and Col
lege Greek.
