Behind the foregoing real estate
transfer, printed in Chicago news
paper, is fine story of frugality.
Before he died Stephen Rossga deed
ed the fiat building which he owned
to his wife. The children, who are of
the right sort Endorsed the fathers
transfer. One of them said:
Mother worked hard to help father
earn the property, to raise the children
and send US to school, and she de-
serves 1t as long as she lives"
This is the story:
Twenty-Five years ago Rossga and
wife came to Chicago from the old
country. They wanted to bring up
their children-ten were born to them
and earn home in a free land.
Rossga began working on a railroad
at $1.75 per day, but did not get
steady work. Never in his life did the
man make over S75 per month.
But the couple saved money.
Inside of five years time they
bought a lot which cost 81, 100, making
a payment down. In another five
years they had paid for the lot and
were able to start the building. 1t re
quired thirteen years to pay for the
fat, a three story brick building, with
six suits of four rooms each, costing
$1,000 But when the building was
completed the thrifty people had a
home of their own, and the rentals
brought in an income enabling them
to pay out. And that was fortunate,
for shortly after the Rossgas moved
into their property the husband was
badly injured in the leg and was un-
able TO work until he died.
A commonplace story of sordid de-
tails?
1t is not commonplace, because it
is made beautiful by courage and
faithfulness and sacrifice.
Mind you, every foundation stone,
every stick of timber, every brick,
every bod of mortar, stands for the
frugal living and the weary toll and
devotion of these struggling foreigners
Why retell the homely tale?
Because this generation needs the
| lesson.
Most Americans with a family OF
ten children and the wages of a day
laborer would scoff at the prospect OF
owning a $4,000 building, even al
the end of twenty-five years.
But it can be, has been. done.
