of the building industry and the real es

methods from the generality of builders

dwellings, of various styles and sizes
to suit the varying choice and necessl-
ties of the people seeking homes.
These houses he sells either for cash
or on the easy payment plan, thus en-
abling many people to buy their homes,
whereas otherwise they could not do SO.
While pursuing this course as his lead,

sells city and suburban properties, ana
his experience and close relation with
realty give him large advantage in
making safe and profitable invest
