REASONS FOR OWNING HOME
Advantages Are Many, Quite Apart
From the Economic One Declares
an Eastern Writer.

There are many upsetting circum
stances in the world, against which
house ownership is sort of insurance.
II | had not owned my home last fall,
and had by any chance been thrown
out by the old landlord, It would have
been very serious job to find what
wanted In the present market. / have
known men and women to put in weeks
In the search. Houses are often sold
over ones head. Estates have to be
settled. All kinds of things happen
Perhaps your small boy disturbs the
landlord, who in turn makes it dis
agreeable for you. Such possibilities
are put to rest by actual ownership
II one has serious illness in the
family, what an assurance it Is to
know that YOU cannot be disturbed !;
that this Is your castle.
For such reasons as these. quite
apart from the economic ones. believe
every man Of settled habits should
own his own house. and that this Is
rs good time as any to proceed to
