Big building Pro-
gram Launched
Pledges for Houses Are
Now Over a Hundred
Gown Your Home" is Slogan That
Should Accomplish the Desired

| Pledges to erect houses in High
Point Immediately have grown since
meeting Tuesday night from so to
more than 100, it was announced by
members of the executive committee
invested with authority to obtain the
: promise of firms and individuals to
take part in High Points gigantic
home building program.
| Another announcement that will
be of unusual interest to High Point
ers is to the effect that the business
! men 'who have been behind the pro-
ject have obtained the promise of
manufacturers to erect houses for
their employees. These houses, it is
understood, will be erected by the
manufacturers and sold to the en-
ployes on what are described as F'easy
terms"
Several of the manufacturers are
enthusiastic and have posted notices
in their factories that they are ready
to construct houses for the employee
who wants to own his own home. Re
quest is made that the employe call
at the business office of his particu-
lar factory and discuss the matter
with the manager or an executive of
ficer.
With the cooperation of the manu-
facturers and employers of labor, 200
houses will be erected in High Point
during the next few months for the
laboring peopl eemployed in the vari-
Gus industries of the city. The fact
was established when members of the
executive committee said they were
already discussing the kind of houses
to be built and the location for many
of the residences.
Those behind the movement point
ed out the ned of the employe going
ito his employer and requesting that
he be allowed town his home; in other
words, he should demand that the en-
ployer finance the undertaking and
sell the home to him through the
building and loan plan. @..-.
Many employers of labor express a
willingness to render every assistance
to the men serving them. If man
or woman wants to own a home he
will be given that opportunity and will
not have to endure any hardship, it
is declared.
That the slogan, own. your own
home" is being adopted in High Point
is now a certainty. Concrete evidence
of this fact was established when it
was announced that the High Point
Perpetual Building and Loan associa-
talon granted loans reaching total
of $47,750 for the erection of 80 homes
in High Point. These loans are sepa-
rate from the plan adopted by the
business men; in other words, they
do not come under the head of the
200 houses to be erected here soon.
It really means that 232 houses will
be built Immediately.
The executive committee directing
the affairs of the campaign are busy
endeavoring to secure additional
pledges and it is now believed to be
an assured fact that High Points
home building campaign will be the
most successful undertaking ever
launched in any, city in North Caro-
lima.
Own your own home," is the ad-
vice given every High Pointer.
