The demand for six-room houses is
increasing. During these prosperous
years thousands Of young men as well
as older men have accumulated lit
tie money and have grown tired of
paying rent, which has resulted in a
determination to own homes Of their
own.
From watching the building Of small
houses their interest has increased.
They have sent for books of house
plans and studied the different de-
signs and have finally selected houses
to suit their needs and to fit their
bank accounts. Usually arrangements
are made with some contractor, who
is forehanded enough to build a house,
take a small payment down and a
lien on the property as security for
the balance of the purchase price.
