RENTAL PROPERTY


re OURTEEN years ago a
man of good business
judgment built a small
house on the north side in PEN
dleton. He built it to rent.
After renting it all those years
at figure that netted him reg
ularly more than 10 per cent
on his investment he sold it
last summer for $1,000 more
than he had originally invested
in it.
Two things contributed to
this mans success, first the
growth of the town which kept
his house always occupied and
enhanced the value of his pro-
Iperty; secondly a common net
tion that it does not pay to own
houses to rent ~
There are reasdns far believ-
ing that thesR sarI1h twS eondi-
tions will continue. If Se4hen
a man who invests money in
Irentable property will be pret-
ty sure of reasonable profits.
1t is necessary of course that
one use Judgment in what he
does but that is necessary in
every line of business.
Local property affords a
better field for investment
than is generally believed.
This is because the town is go
ing ahead. A man who invests
in a live town generally wins
and Pendleton is a live place.

$1OO. 100000 in private building con
tracts were reported to it in February.
The total of the January contracts
was only one half that sum.
Nearly all the states showed an ill.,
crease from week to week during last
month in private construction work.

in the first week of February reported
contracts awarded to the amount Of
.S3330, 900: in the second week. $3.50. 900,
third week. $4,000. and fourth week.
100000 OF this construction % per-
cent was Of 'an industrial character.
50 percent business, and 4G percent
residential.
New England's showing. however. is
far behind that Of the western states.
Iowa. Illinois. Wisconsin. Indiana

a five-fOld increase in February over
January. In this ristrict the figures
are, First week in February. $4,000.
600; second week, $9OOO,OOO.: third
week. S4G,0OO,000; fourth week, $780,
100000.
In the middle west 81 II percent Of
the construction contracts for Febru-
airy were for private construction. S
percent state and municipal work and
IL percent government construction.
New York and New Jersey also show
important increases in February. and
in these two states Residential building
made up only 10 percent of the total.
Ohio. West Virginia and Pennsylvania
also shaw a slight improvement over
the January figures, and IS percent
OF the total was for residences.
Minnesota and the Dakotas reported
of about 81 100000 as against
100000 for January.
These facts show that the hcsitancy
about starting construction projects

is apparently being overcome all over
