While the war is on is the time for
the man with enterprise, a little
money. and plenty Of nerve, to win
I out on real estate" said n P. Car
I lock The over-cautious buyer does
not dare to buy. many people be-
come depressed. frightened and sell
at low prices, and the chance TO pick
up excellent bargains by watching
the market is exceptionally good. It
is the man who has the courage 10
buy IN n time like this who makes
money. The big leaders in any line
are those who dare and who risk, and
the ones who are always afraid never
set anywhere in the financial world.
For q small instance OF this, last year
bought some real estate, and every
one thought me insane. This year 7
sold this land at a big profit Real

ing up despite wa and the results OF

funds for the Y. NJ c. A have al
most completely monOpolized public
and private attention. and most peO-
pie have hardly had time to think Of
else, still, real estate is
holding its own, prices remaining
firm in most instances, and sales are
being made almost every day
less Building Good Sign.
a few parties with cash have been
waiting around, hoping 10 pick uu
some snaps but these are few and
far between. and the opinion still pre-
walls that there are no Investments
quite SO good as FL Paso real estate
There has never been a boom here
and consequently there IS no reason
70 anticipate any shrinkage in values
The fact that builders are more con-
sentative and building less active is q.
Healthy sign, and so far as we are able
