when houses for rent or for sale were
conspicuous by their absence. When
families were leaving the city for
other places, owing to the fact that

ist in such great measure today.

at any time during the past few years
but this condition may not remain.

city are continually asking the ques-
ton-Why should man pay big
rental for a house, when for a small
initial cash payment, he can buy a
piece of property and pay@for it on
the same conditions as paying rent
for a home?
