the private mortgage, and seldom or never
is it the fault of the bank or loan company
taking the mortgage.
This is the information I get from a
banker who is an authority on the subject.
Every one admits In these days the advan-
tages of owning real estate. At the outset.
many people buying property on mortgage
erty. and in many instances they think and
they think there Is no reason for them to
make an effort to pay the claim Of the other
party. They feel as IL they own 1t all.
They are rich in their own estimation, and
father, mother, sons and daughters launch
out into extravagant ways. The outcome
of this extravaganza, or possibly misunder-
standing of their position, can have but one
conclusion, that is, foreclosure.
How many times We hear how so and so
have stated that they have been dispos-
sessed of their property through the hard
heartedness of some private mortgage or
q bank How many times after sitting the
evidence, 1t Is found that the mortgager
was almost entirely to blame and did not
have, excepting in few cases. the basis Of
misfortune or Illness to stand upon. 1t Is
a well-known fact that banks and loan
companies usually are most anxious to con-
tfnue to carry upon mortgage real estate
which has been properly handled and kept
in repair by the mortgager but there are
numerous cases which come to mind where
property has been destroyed wantonly and
used and the bank has been used to finance

BUY INSTEAD OF BUILD.
Motives Of Some Home Seekers Elk
planned.

Real estate men. are being depended upon
nowadays to obtain modern houses for their
clients without the prospective buyer taking
the bother to go through the trials and
tribulations of building for themselves says
writer in the st. Louis Dispatch
1t is the business men with a good in
come and the man with big salary who
constitute this class of home buyers. In
cluded in the lists are also professional
men, who have not the time or taste to
supervise the erection of a house them
selves. They do not want diversity or
oddly in building construction. They want
something like they have seen somewhere
else that has suited them.
Il want house worth about $4,000
something out In the North End, II can
get It," said customer to dealer the
other day. II could build q house. sup
pose but want it right away, and hate
to be bothered"
There are others who don't even want to
be bothered with owning houses.
The rental agencies Of all the big firms
tell the same story Of requests for first
class houses, property that will rent for as
high as $125 per month.
