There Is no town in the State that
needs more dwelling houses than King
wood. Well to do mechanics are I'M
able TO move here on account OF the
lack of houses. Our population is only
limited by the houses TO be obtained.
Twenty-Five dwelling houses here could
be rented before spring, or by that
time. AS an investment no one would
doubt 1t, because property here rents at
good figure. Here is plan for some
one to make a small fortune. Build a
number OF cottages TO sell FOR SIX or
eight hundred dollars. Then sell them
on easy monthly payments, and when
the amount is paid the deed to be
turn ed over to the tenant A proviso
for a return of the property after a
failure to pay the installments for two
or three months would readily be
signed. A home building association
would add wonderfully TO our popula-
ton. We are glad that our enter
prising business men see this need, and
we hope the discussion will result In
mutual advantage to the town,
