Laramie is a city Of homes. 1t has
been repeatedly stated and The Repub-
lican believes truthfully that more peo'
pie living in Laramie own the places
in which they live than in any other
town of the entire west. This adds to
the beauty OF the entire city. for the
reason that lawns, trees and shrubbery
are looked after with greater Ear by
owners than by tenants. This home
building has been conducted to a very
large degree through the medium of
our local building associations. Such
associations are commended to the
people of the towns throughout the
state. Mark well the distinction be,
tween the local and national ~associa-
lions. Always insist upon the local,
managed by men Of character and
standing in The community in which
they live. 1t is nothing more nor less
than cooperative banking at the low
est possible cost.
