A New Home-1uiIding Plan.

1I
"A man with a family tries to pro-
vide a home for them.
He usually succeeds, during his
lifetime, at least, in keeping a roof
over them.
He generally does this by paying
some one who owns a house so much
per month for the privilege Of living
in it.
He pays out this money, month
after month, year after year, and
then-well, he has lived in a house
that's all.
Receipts for rent pile up and they
look we'll, as they're paid.
But If those same papers were re-
ceipts for rent paid to yourself, they
would look very much better,
wouldn't they?
No, it isn't foolish! Not a bit of it!
It's been done and is being done
right here in Billings.
Now, MI. Man-with-a-family, you
write to or call ON Henry White, Sec
ertary of the BILLINGS BUILDING
AND LOAN ASSOCIATION, No. z,
North Twenty-eighth street, Billings,
Montana, and he will show you how
you can build or buy your own house,
rent it to yourself, and pay for it with
the rent-money.

strong business men who are the Off.
