be destroyed by fire. 1t is saw
ings bank which never breaks, and
it pays large interest to its deposit
tors. 1t has been truly said that
real estate is the basis OF all
wealth, and he or she who possesses
it, be the quantity ever so small,
has something tangible on which
to rely in times of adversity, as it
always has fixed value, which
cannot be said of perishable prop
erty. "
The owner of piece of real es-
tate is the owner of a
HON e,
or that out Of which he or she can
make q home at pleasure, and the
time is not Ear distant when the
owner Of home will be independ
ent indeed, as well in this country
% it now is in foreign countries
Every person expects to be the
owner Of q home sometime, but
he masses of the people let the
opportunity for securing o home
pass unheeded, and soon prices and
terms of payment are beyond their
reach, and the consequence 10 they
live and die without q home, as
poor when they leave the world as
when they entered it, never having
acquired Q portion of the earth as
their own, when little exercise of
good judgment at the opportune
time, and q small outlay, would
have secured to them 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 "rainy day"
They who arrive at the "shady
side' of life
WITHOUT A HOME
are indeed to be pitied. Contrast
the condition of the person who
owns his own home with the one
who rents. Which will you select? |
You can have either condition; it
remains for you to decide. The
wisest and most prosperous people
in this country are purchasing all
the real estate their means will
admit of, and are advising their
friends to do likewise. A very
intelligent and wealthy old gen.
tleman who resides in Illinois, and
who has travelled extensively and
been very observing, wrote as a
Few days ago, and in his letter he
said: &5I& 5#@*
Real estate in your section Of
country must very soon be in ac-
tive demand at much advanced
prices, as all of the good, cheap
lands are gone, and your lands
must command prices equal to
those of thestates Just east Of you,
and your cities, especially such
BUSINESS centers as Madison, must
grow rapidly and city lots advance
in value accordingly. I look upon
investments in real estate in your
locality as the best that can be
made at this time" II
Opinions coming from men of
this character are of value and
should be needed.
II the possession of a home were ,
not within your reach, how earnest
would be your wish that it was,
and how great your anxiety to be .
the happy possessor of piece of ,
his earth you could call your own.
While there is now a most favor /
able opportunity for securing such
q home, do you know that this OPP
portunity will soon disappear, and
I you have not improved it by
purchasing. You will ever after re-
gret it. lie you are single person,
buy not only for a future home,
but as an

Every dollar deposited in city
lot or farm will be there for you
when needed for your own use, and
will earn many more dollars by

the purchase OF city lot. Tic Won
