which would be the best way to get

kept right on for they were sure now
that this was the way to the House

wanted to go.
And they had met SO many friendly

As they were talking together and

The recent increased demand for vacant residential property in the Country Club district indicates that the people are impressed with the wisdom of buying their lots now while prices are low for that class of property and making their plans for the construc- tion of home at later date. Condi- tions for home construction are con stantly becoming more favorable and the far sighted man is getting his lot now before the choice lots are sold and before the price is forced up by in creased demand when the supply is very limited.
