Your Own Home
Is the Cheapest
Best Economically and Social
ly, Is Verdict.

At this time when business
structures and apartment houses are
going up on all sides: the thoughts
Of the man of small income nataral-
~ turns to possibilities Of building
his own home.
From both the economic and social
standpoint. there is no more i'm
portant question before the people
than the building of real homes.
Living in apartments is not cheap
and cannot be made so. Cheap liv-
ing coutemplates the family's doing
for itself much that 1t cannot do
in an apartment house.
An apartment house or a fiat
is an impossible place in which to
"aIse small children.
The public playground is a poor
substitute for ones own back yard
properly equipped for the kiddies.
1t should be the aim and, ambi-
ton of every man to own his own
home. and it is the part of good
citizenship to help in making that
not only possible, but practicable.
