BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.

Eenjamin Franklin remains one ot the striking figures of the reVoiu- ton. He was always a great be- fever in the home. When one thinks how easy it is to possess one through tho Home Builders and what pretty place Las Palmas is to live in anu how close to town the new car line brings it. there is little wonder that everybody is buying there.
