BUYING own HOME
GIVES CONFIDENCE
THE ADVANTAGES TO BE GAIN
ED By INVESTOR IN
REAL ESTATE.

Immense advantages in the way OF
esta blishing his credit, comfort and
peace of mind come TO the laborfng
man who buys his own home, accord
ing to experienced credit men. IMAM
imously they recommend the purchase
of real estate. They say the acquire
ments of a home gives "A man a stand
ing and feeling of responsibility and
confidence which he cannot get other
wise
THE requirement OF a mans own
home is the most important step in
the esta bills hment OF his credit said
retail grocer. THAT is why prefer
a customer who owns his property.
His status as a propertyholder forces
upon him keener sense OF his obi
cations.
Il lay little stress upon the lever
age given the credit man through the
operation of Law. Few business men
resort to law to collect debts made by
customers from month TO month. 1t
isn't that. The benefit to the man
who owns his property is Of a higher
order. As soon sfs he becomes the
owner OF his home he experiences a
change of attitude,
"One of the troublesome problems
to the man who does a credit business
is the transient. the fellow who comes
into the community, establishes a
credit at few stores, and in few
months is gone. Most of our losses
come from these people.
Now the propertyowner Is just the
opposite of the transient. He feels
that he II part of the community
As the reputation of that district as a
desirable placeAn which to live grows,
his propertyuwill advance In value. II

ness men of the community.
THE credit man knows that the
propertyowner cannot escape his
debts by leaving between two suns.
He must first sell his property, and
this il matter Of public record. Or
If he leaves without selling the prop
erty. il stands as a surety against the
debt.
Il remember the case of man who
was in bad with every business mar
in the community. Either he would
fail to pay his debts outright or he
would quibble about them until his
creditor would wish for him to leave
and say no more about the account
This man inherited a few hundred
dollars. He acquired a small home
and made an honest effort TO pay the
balance on the property. From that
time we had no more trouble with
him. To our surprise he Joined the
i'm provement association soon after
and began to help boost the COM
munity. where before he had been try
ing to hinder its progress.
If the laboring man or the man
on a salary realized the immense ad-
vantage which comes to him, to his
city. and to his particular district
from his owning his property, he
would not rest until he had bought a
home. To my way of thinking II Is
the most important step man can
take"
