500 stockholders, represented in person
or by proxy, gathered in special stock
holders meeting at the Mason Opera

crease in the capital stock from 5000, 900
to $1,250,000 shares.
stockholders and investors from nearly
every walk in life, whose bright and
cheerful faces clearly Indicated their
satisfaction for the 12 per cent divi-
dends which Home Builders stock has
brought to them in the past They
were anxious to give their approval to
the increase, believing that Home
Builders, by reason of it's policy found
ed upon a cash basis, Is destined to be-
come the largest and most powerful
factor In home building that Southern
California or the southwest has ever
seen.
During the past eighteen months
Home Builders has erected between
fifty and sixty homes,i every one OF
which was sold before the contract for
it's erection was signed, and its execu-
tive officers state that there is now a
waiting list of something like thirty
home seekers who are desirous of Sc
curing homes on the easy payment
plan just as soon as Home Builders
can secure the necessary funds, through
the sale of its capital stock. In this
connection it is interesting to note that
during August 81, 900 shares of it's cap
ital stock were sold at $40 a share,
and they anticipate a greater record
during the next eighteen months.

n HERE is no word among all the
tongues of men that means so
"A much to the human heart and
mind as the word "home." From en-
lightened America to darkest Africa
the word "home" signifies place of
rest, whose sacred precincts are built
upon the foundations of all that makes
life worth while.
It has rightly been said that the
homes of Southern California are homes
of sunshine. This is true for two rea-
sons: Southern California is filed with
sunshine brighter than that of any
other land, and all the surroundings are
such as to bring brightness and sun
shine into the lives of its people and
consequently into the homes.
When the phenomenal growth OF
Southern California is considered, the
people who have built these long. ave-
nues of happy homes can rightly De
called home builders. and when com
pany of men organize for the purpose
OF building homes takes to itself the
name of "Home Builders" 1t is little
wonder that it's success ana grown
have been phenomenal:
Beginning ten months ago with
cash capital of $1250, Home Build

and keen business foresight, Increased
its available assets to $250,000 and has
disposed of the greater part of its cap
itai stock at par or better. In oroer

the same lines that have contributed TO
its present success, nearly 800 Oh its
