CONSIDER
OWN YOUR HOME
CAMPAIGN

plans for citv.wide +" Bpiid Now -
and Gown Your Home campaign are
being considered by the FL Centre Re-
atty Board, according to members of
the board today.
The realtors here have been aksed
by the California Real Estate Associa.
tion to conduct such a campaign in
conjunction with statewide movement
being carried on at this time.
The statewide Gown Your Home y
and ..Build Now campaign endorsed
by the California Real Estate Associ-
alton ut it's last annual convention got
under way last week in large number
of cities and towns in California, ac-
cording to an announcement issued to-
day by President C. c. C. Tatum from
the association S general offices in Los
Angeles.
The campaign will continue through
the spring months and, it is believed,
bv the state association officials will
result in adding many thousands of
new homes to meet the demand for
more housing Accommodations i'll Cali
fornia.
Briefly. the Gown Your Home -
campaigA is being put on through the
local real estate boards in the sixty
cities and towns of the state that are
affiliated with the California Real
Estate Association. The local realty
board is perhaps closer to the actual
needs of the people for homes than
any other organization. Accordingly
real estate boards have us one of their
cardinal committees on Own Your
Home committee which in cooperation
with the state association directors in
each town works out the plan for the
local drive.
The general prosperity of each com
munitv is affected by the amount of
favorable publicity, advertising and
individual support given to the Own
Your Home campaign.
Among the cities that are success
fully carrying on Own Your Home
campaigns may be mentioned Whittier,
Anahcinl, san Bcrnardino, Santa Ana,
Santa Barbara, Nisalia, Sacramento,
berkeley. Plans are under way for
similar drives in Fresno, Long Beach,
Stockton, Monterey and other cities
where real estate boards are function
ing.
Harry II. Culver the builder of Gull
yer City, who spoke at the state real
ty convention on building a new city,
and who has been addressing the realty
boards'in the southern part of the state
on how to bring the home seeker in
actual contact with desirable home
property has been appointed chairman
of the state association S Own Your
Home committee according to an an
nouncemcnt by President Tatum. Mr..
Culver will presently announce the
members of his committee and the work
of Own Your Home campaign will be
largely under theft direction during the
ensuing months.
