I do not believe there Is any pos

quakes. I base this conclusion upon
the fact that the past history of the

from earthquakes.
There have been rather marked
changes in the contour of Panama

Home Buyers Syndicate
Adopts the British
Method

The plan of the Home Buyers
Syndicate is not new, having been
borrowed from our British cousins
with certain notifications thought
best adapted to local conditions.
In the first place, before entering
into any business relations with
man they ascertain his moral and
lovers and those who really want to
own a home they wish to have asso-
ciated with them, for their object is
to build as many good homes for
those wanting them as possible at as
low a cost as is consistent with good
work and material OF course, the
homes are built to suit each in
dividual case, and so every one gets
just exactly what he or she wishes.
Speaking of the subject. member
of the firm says:
I'VE have been open only short
time and yet have several homes In
course of construction. and in imme-
date prospect. Naturally. having the
each department under an expert head
we are in a position to good value
for their money AS it Is we are very
busy and never a day passes without
new business.
I'VE feel that many persons who
are paying rent do not realize the
great future for the cities on this
side of the bay, for If they did there
would be even more demand for build
ing lots than there is, and we feel
that if we can make it possible for
many who can not pay even the uSu-
ally required 10 per, cent down, to
build and own their own ideal OF a
home we will be doing them and the
city a favor for they will get the in
crease in value on their property, and
a sure home in their own age, and
the city secures good citizen.
Oakland has great future. or
that there is no doubt, and the only
thing . siful is that we do not real
ize l. at it will be, and one
thinf i'll help is the class of
buik f1g UP. The homes are
beau al also convenient, not to
mentiop tlteir substantiability, and
we feel that it is a privilege to have
hand in building a city like Oak
land, so that visitors will say that 1t
Is certainly ..the city of beautiful
homes which is one of the best in
dorsements a. city can have.
"Of course, if person has lot
paid for or even partly so we want
him to como and see us and We can
arrange it so he can have home
built on II and put all his money in
MS hone in place of the 4andlord's s
