afford to pay for. But remember
that if you are really able to pay
the average rent, YOU ARE ALSO
ABLE TO PAY AND GRADUALLY
BUY THE HOME AND OWN IT."
Arthur Brisbane.
A trust company in Chicago recent
ly received from one of it's depositors
this letter:
] beg to inform you that | wish

Savings Department. have bought
a house and wish to use my saw

your bank. 1t took me long time

Home ownership is one of the most
worthy objects for which you can work
and save, because, when that aim is
realized, you have taken long step
towards becoming really independent.

yourself to curb your inclination to
spend your income foolishly, you can
never be independent of others. You
always will be paying somebody rent,
interest, or tribute of some kind. One
of the truest things Shakespeare ever
wrote is this: mo man is free who is
not master of himself" and you can
not be genuinely master of yourself
when you pay rent for the privilege of
using, as a living space, a portion of
the earth's surface or even portion
of the tenth floor above the earth's
surface. Every mans house is his
castle. Own your own home and then
you can emulate the spirit of Rob Roy,
Sir Walter SCOTS hero, who proudly
said My foot is on my native heath
and my name is MacGregor." Lord
Bacon said: "He that hath wife and
children hath given hostages to for

means that when you have a family to
support you must make good

your own will cover the most happ-

1t is worth a lifetime of scrupulous
economy, if in the evening of life, you
can be seated before your own fire
side. ample provisions having been
made to care for you and yours. The
reason so many are friendless and
homeless is because the price of com
fort apparently is too high for them.
To sacrifice habits that neither en-
large ones scope of vision. nor bring
any permanent joy, is to the average
man burdensome task.
There are many building and loan
associations to help persons of moder-
ate income in acquiring ownership of
their own homes. But invariably such
organizations require that the appli-
cant for loan hold title free and
clear to the land where the house is to
be built, and they do not loan more
than eighty per cent of the value of
the whole property.
Right here is where the savings
bank helps the would-be home-owner.
Use the savings bank as safe deposit
tory for your money while you are
building up the fund to buy your lots,
