My sister Helen and I are getting

any more. Her daughter Margcry is
married, and her son Frank is in the
senior year at college. Helen has
reason to feel perfectly satisfied with
her work as a mother. Both Mar

any family. They have their faults.

Houses in Omaha Sell Faster
Than They Can Be Erected!

There are probably under construction in Omaha at
the present time not less than 450 new homes.
That fact alone is pretty good evidence that the
proper time build is now instead of next year the
year following.
At least it is indication that good many men have
looked into the building situation sufficiently to feel that
their money is being safely invested.
Also the fact that these houses under construc-
ton that than $1,500000 is being put
into new homes in Omaha-s not waiting for any
favorable time for investment in homes.
Many Of these houses are being built by realtors,
who have from oneha dozen to TO- and sometimes
houses under construction all the time.
These men would not be putting their money into
homes if they did not believe absolutely that conditions
are right and proper for building now instead of
future time.
The mere investment of this money in houses, how
ever doesn't need to be taken final indication that the
money is being wisely spent.
The financial experience thus far this year of those
who have completed new houses and the demand for
these houses being built does show concusvey that
the judgment of those who are now building is good.
There probably is not single new house in Omaha
completed this year and built for sale which has not yet
been sold and which is not now occupied.
In majority Of instances, sales were made before
the houses were completed
Also there is probably not individual who has
built his home to live in it and who has not had
opportunity to sell it at handsome profit.
