Don't You Think

1t would make everything happier

the new, and that in the near future
it would belong 10 them, their own

We think 1t would.
You must go up on Ninth avenue
along the line of the new street car
extension and see these new modern
houses. High enough for health and
low enough to be convenient to the
schools and the business district as
well. In a desirable neighborhood and
facing east, west or south, as you de-
sire. You can find a key to all of them
at AS c street, and examine for your
self how well they are built and how
many modern conveniences they con-
tain. We built them ourselves and
know what they are WORTH that's why
We are willing to make long time loans
on them, as our only object in building
them was to find an outlet for our
