Houses to rent are very scarce
article in Lancaster this spring. A
great change has taken place since
last year when there were at least
twenty vacant houses in the town.
Now they are all occupied and
several renters have been obliged
to buy in order to have house to
live in. This indicates a healthy
growth in Lancaster and means
that there will have to be more
houses built. There isn't a more
desirable residence city in south
western Wisconsin.
And now for a little paint, a
rake and saw, a straight eye to
see where the porch needs raising
up at left corner, little taste in ar
ranging the green patch, the bush
group and the flower bed, little
bonfire, little work in removing
the tin cans and bottles from the
grass plot to the dumping ground,
little sassafras or sarsaparilla for
the system and we will be ION our
way" Lancaster has earned a
reputation as one Of the prett1est
cities in this part of the state, Let
us add to that reputation this year
by showing more pretty and we'll
kept yards than even before.
