Better Than a Savings Bank

Is an investment in Real Estate.
1t cannot be stolen, neither can it
be destroyed by fire. 1t is a saw
ings bank which never breaks, and
it pays large interest to it's deposit
tors. 1t has been truly said that
real estate is the basis OF all
wealth, and he or she who possesses
lit, be the quantity ever so small,
has something tangible on which
to rely in times Of adversely, as it
always has a fixed value, which
cannot be said of perishable prop
erty.
The owner of a piece of real es-
tate is the owner of a
HOME,
or that out Of which he or she al
make a home at pleasure, and the
time is not far distant when the
owner of a home will be independ-
ent indeed, as well in this country
as it now is in foreign countries.
Every person expects to be the
owner of "a home sometime, but
the masses of the people let the
opportunity for securing a home
pass unheeded, and soon prices and
terms of payment are beyond their
reach, and the consequence is they
live and die without a home, as
poor when they leave the world as
when they entered it, never having
acquired a portion of the earth as
their own. when a little exercise OF
good judgment at the opportune
time, and a small outlay, would
have secured to them a good home,
! and the money which they spend
for rent during their lifetime
, could be applied to the comforts
, and enjoyment of life, or laid by
. for a "rainy day
They who arrive at the shady
side" of life
WITHOUT A HOME
e are indeed to be pitied. Contrast
the condition of the person who
owns his own home with the one
q who rents. Which will you select:
e You can have either condition; il
l. remains for you to decide. Tbs
wisest and most prosperous peopi'
in this country are purchasing al
9 the real estate their means viii
.amit of and are advising thei
friends to do likewise. A yer,
intelligent and wealthy old gen
tleman who resides in Illinois, an,
! who has travelled extensively an,
been very observing, wrote us
few days ago, and in his letter h
said:
Real estate in your section o
country must very soon be In &C
! tive demand at much advances
prices, as all of the good, cheal
lands are gone, and your land
y must command prices equal t
o those of the states just east of you
and your cities, especially sucl
BUSINESS centers as Madison, mus
Ii grow rapidly and city lots advanc
in value accordingly. [ look upol
k investments in real estate in you
locality as the best that can b
n made at this time"
Opinions coming from men Q
this character are of value an

Is If the possession of a home wer
y not within your reach, how earnes
d would be your wish that it wa.
II and how great your anxiety to b
the happy possessor OF a piece {
this earth you could call your own
is While there is now a most favor
: able opportunity for securing sue
a home, do you know that this Of
portunity will soon disappear, an
Is if you have not improved it b
purchasing, you will ever after n
y gret it. If you are a single. persol
C buy not only for a future hom
but as an
INVESTMENT.

an when needed for your own use, ar
