Making More Money
MInting tho Golden Rule

IL vas back in 1905 that the Rev.
Anthony +. Elmquist first came TO Min
ncapolis and, when he looked around for
q home. he found that the only thing
mat was within the reach Of hIs DoClkpt-
book was IN a location far from dcsir-
able. Against the advice OF friends who
were conversant with local conditions
Ut. Elmqulst invested In tho property
ana. nine years later. constructed the
tirst OF number of duplex apartments
which sprung up as rapidly as he could
get the capital together to complete the
transactions. Now. In place OF what
was formerly ono OF tho undesirable sec
tons OF the city, there are nine, good
sized apartment houses. housing 275
families and valued at we'll over a mil
lion dollars. DR.. Elmquist doesn't own
them outright, It's true, but hc owns
q sufficient interest in them to make his
years to come and hopes 10 have the
property clear of encumbrances before
he dies.
How did he do it?
simply by the practice Of rigid econ
omy in the first place and the applica- =
tion OF the Golden 1iuIc in the second"
Is tho minister's reply to tho frequently
repeated question. My initial capital
was something in the ncighborhood Of
$4,000 and everybody knows that 1t iSn t
easy to save that much from 4 clergy
mans pay. But I did 1t, and invested
the money IN my house in 1905. Then
! started IN to save some more and.
when ! had enough to make fair-sIzcd
amount. | borrowed the remainder ncc-
essary to build the first apartment house.
Tho rest followed as n matter OF course.
But It's In connection with my ten
ants that the Golden Rule has proved
