lit required great war, with the fabulous de-
~ mand for funds and it's vast system of errer-
gency financing, to educate the American public
to the advantages of bond buying. 1t required
another crisis of countrywide nature to make
this same public cognizant of the merits Of the
oldest and safest investment in the World-real
estate
Not until the pinch of the building famine had
brought him to painful awakening did the aver
age man realize that the ground beneath his
home or office was fertile soil for the sowing of
his dollars.
The real estate columns of the metropolitan
newspapers bear constant testimony to the fact
that the lesson is being learned Each day sees
an addition to the list of those who appreciate the
income possibilities that lie in dwellings, apart
ment houses and office buildings or the wealth
potentialities inherent in vacant land Follow the
daily real estate columns and convince yourself of
the truth of this statement

IF You Deal with Reliable Firm
DO YOU LEARN EASILY Y?
1ou Wait for Another Great Crisis to Complete Y

,.risis to Complete Your Education
TNUT the process of education is less than half
~ complete, the truth less than half told. There
are still among us thousands who firmly believe
that fortunes made from real estate are thing of
the dim past. What they forget is that the dim
past they have in mind was the present for John
Jacob Astor and others like him. It is the same old
story The real estate history being written today
will in the days to come cause many a backward
locker to kick himself.
Every form of substantial investment has it's
cycle of opportunity. Real Estate is always good
investment, but this is its great day. It is no longer
a question of Shall | buy? but rather Whom shall
buy through? A chance to buy gold at Is cents
per pound would sound like a miraculous oppor-
tunity For the average man it would be full of
hazard unless he was guided in the purchase by
some one who could tell brick from bullion
You cannot 60 wrong if you make your real
estate investments through firms like those listed
below.
