Howard Blankenship, who is an
auto expert connected with the Sec
ond Division of the army of occupa-
ton in France, and expected back
soon, this week sends The Echo a
copy of "The Indian very interest
ing magazine gotten out by his di-
vision. The editorial comment is de-
voted to "The Soldier Back to the
Land" and indicates that unless the
government helps the soldier to get
started the movement will not appeal
to many of the boys. With little or no
no money they do not care to tackle
the lonesome" and try to wiring a
living from a raw piece of land.

It's
Cheaper
To Buy
Than
To Build

If you don't believe this just get
a carpenter to give you figures on
the kind of house you want. The
house that a few years ago could be
built for 81, 800, will cost you at
the least $4,000 today and more
than likely it will be nearer $4,000.
The builders say that building pri-
ces have just about doubled. Soon
err or later there are people in Leav-
enworth who are going to have to
build in order to have home, but
while there are still residences on
the market that can be bought at
pre-war prices they ought to be
gobbled up. The future of Leav-
enworth is bright-no one can lose
money by making an investment
here.
Often times we hear people say
after sale has been made, "Oh |
wish that I knew that Mr.. So-and-
so wanted to SELL would have
bought that property in minute
it was so cheap" Don't let this
be true in your case.
Stop paying rent. Many PEG
pie in Leavenworth have paid for
the houses they are living in sew
eral times over in what they have
paid out for rent. Select you a
home, pay down $500 of $1,000, as
much as you can afford, and pay
the balance like rent. I can sell
you a home on these terms. ]
have some very desirable property
on my list and you can make no
mistake on buying anything show
you.
consider any of the following
very good buys.

The United States shipping board
has recommended private ownership
and operation to congress as funda-
mental policy for commercial ship
ping, and urges that the government
retire from commercial ship building,
ship owning and ship operating ac-
tivities at the earliest date which may
be convenient and practical. With
lumber business booming and ship
ping and shipbuilding industry again
free to develop, the future is bright
for coast states.
