Merchants and Citizens
Urged to Hear Explanation
of Home Building Move

Thorough explanation OF the Rich
mond Home Building corporation, and
the reasons why a greater and better
Richmond demands that it be support
ed by every citizen, will be made at
$3.50 Tuesday morning at the Com
mercial club, at the meeting Of mer'
chants and other citizens called by the
merchants committee Of the move
ment.
About $S5,OOO has been raised Of the
$15O,O00 necessary to carry on the
work, and this has mostly come from
the manufacturers. The committee is
suing the call says:
"Realizing the fact that the build.
ing of homes is the most important
problem facing our city at this time,
and also realizing the fact that II
more homes are built, 1t means a
greater Richmond-more people and
more business for every merchant in
this city, this meeting should be at
tended by you 8 merchant, as this
is just as important to you as 1t Is
necessary for the manufacturer tc
have more men, and without houses
we can expect no increases in pay
rolls
Therefore it Is up to you to show
your interest in this proposition by
attending this meeting and at least tt
allow the committee to talk the mat
ter over with you. Please remember
that the plan decided upon require:
no donations, but does simply require
legitimate loan at 6 percent which
places the whole proposition upon ;
business basis.
