a number Of cases where the employers,

When it is known that 90 per cent Of the

that the home buyers do not leave stone

SUCCESS THE RECORD
PROGRESS OF THOSE WHO START
TO BUY A HOME.

Here's what expert, who has Travelled
through all the big cities and investigated,
says about home ownership:
How to acquire one Of these houses with
out capital enough to buy it outright is the
next question. Many of the homes you see
in the big cities have been secured through
building associations. and by parties paying
a lump sum to the builder as earnest
money, and the remainder in easy monthly
payments. The builder will take a first
and second deed of trust on the property to
secure himself He will negotiate a loan
on the first deed to regain his capital with
which to continue his business, and he will
hold the second deed with the notes, which
the householder is to meet from time to.
time. These notes are for sums ranging
from SIS to $50, according to the cost of the
house and property. and are payable month
ly, the same as rent bills, with interest
notes payable quarterly. / have never
known a capitalist or builder to have
charged more than per cent, and l have
always known them to make the principal
and interest notes as convenient al possible
to those who show the proper spirit of
economy and endeavor.

trious as he was before moving into his
own house. for any one who can pay his
rent promptly can buy his own home with
out any more worry than IL he was pay
ing rent This feeling of ownership in land
or of owning the roof that shelters the
family is ample compensation for all the
worries that have been gone through, and
1t can only be understood by one who has
felt the pleasure of calling his home his
own. When the family once realizes that
the property Is it's, even If only the earnest
sum Is paid, the husband and wife and
children at once begin to take better care
Of everything. They plant trees, shrubs
and flowers, lay out garden patches and
flower beds and keep everything In repair.
They know that from now on there will be
no more complaints to make to the agent
when the rent is paid about repairs and
other necessary things about the place.
Family Takes an Interest.
after acquiring a house on the monthly
installment plan the purchaser begins to
feel his responsibility and so does the fam
lily. They realize that monthly notes are to
be paid, and though they may have been
living modestly. they begin to econom.ze
and save up. In a short time they often
find themselves with enough money ahead
to take up several notes in advance and
save interest When this is done the great
est lesson in economy that can be taught
to a householder has been learned. He has
learned to master himself, perhaps to for
swear smoking, to live on palmer but as
wholesome food and be satisfied because he
knows he is doing it. for good purpose. l
