ance companies and conservative in
vestors, well secured and free OF all
taxes. The Trustees desire TO make

View of the Question.
The puhlic has no better friends than
the real estate agents, although in.
dividuals may sometimes think that
they are tri1e persistent in their eff.
forts to induce one 10 make pur-
chase.
In reality, however. this is where
saey do the greatest good. not only for
The city in which they live, but for the
man TO wbxi they sell property. and
this is especially true in the case Of a
home
The great majority of people are too
slow to realize the Importance of be-
coming home owners, and the efforts
of the real estate dealers have induc-
ed thousands TO purchase who other
wise would have let splendid oppor-
tunities pass.
Ii is especially important that all
young people become home owners ut
the earliest time possible. because in
the strength of their youth they will
have 10 trouble meeting the payments
on home. and in n few years they
will have it paid for. On the other
hand. If they fail TO buy the years will
pass and lind them living up all they
make.
Because of taxes. insurance and de-
probation many people figure that it
is cheaper to rent than to own a home,
but since the man owning the proper
~ is willing to make that kind of in
vestment it is pretty evident that in
the long run 1t pays the owner.-Na-
