Why not convert Your
dwelling house or vacant
property into something that
will pay YOU 1870 or Icfo
net? We represent number
of apartment houses that can
be traded. The owners will
trade the equity in them sub
jeot to reasonable mortgage
and take clear dwellings, and
lots as payment. There are
many persons owning dwell
ing houses valued at from
!. $4,000 TO $4,000 who do not
receive over 40 or $50 from
the rentals. These houses
may be very desirable as
. homes for the owners, but
: when 1t comes to renting
them they do not pay at
: all. We will give YOU an
opportunity to convert such
holdings into equities that
will pay you 1919 and 1870.
