Mr.. Property Owner! Reduce Your Paving Costs by

prices there has been decrease in paving COSTS This
change while not entirely due to the rise in security
values is due to in great measure 1t known fact
among financiers and economists that an increase in
the market values of securities is always accompanied
by decrease in the costs of public improvements This
fact born out by the statistics recorded and shown by
the two Graphs above.

began to slowly decline in January, 1919 In January,
1920 the decline became rapid and by the mid

thereupon began to increase in value, until January,

stringency, market for securities ceased to exist 1t

Every citizen of Greece should
recognize that the primary basis OF

which are produced, directly or indi-

soil. !.

of the soil is by far the most neglect

Of the country. In general the
Greek farmer, with his common pillow
