 Hill Ferguson says, with reference to buying home:
 Land is the only safe investment that a man can make away from home with out watching it. Land Is the only in- vestment that will increase in value 1C per cent per year without expense. II is the only investment that is safe with out any considera tion of the honesty o1 the manager. It is the only investment that is sts5le through wars and panics and national disaster. It cannot be stolen it does not blow away, never burns up lit has to increase in value and a for tune in land is a fortune in hand" The Birmingham Real Estate exchange urges every man in Birmingham who does not own a home to investigate this week and see how easy it is for him tc own a home. and then buy it, this week Act now while the opportunity is here as it never will be so great, so general and so near everyone's reach again.
