on instaIlments for luxuries they

on installments for luxuries they
cannot afford.
/" Anyone is entitled to all the
pleasures they can get out of life,
but "a great many people haveI the
mistaken idea that to get that
pleasure is TO buy the most expen-
sive luxuries on the market; but
real happiness comes from owning
your home first and getting the lux
uries afterward.
1t is never too late to start In now
and purchase a lot in a good neigh
borhood and obligate yourself to pay
for it. When the lot is paid for, you
then have q basis to talk to a con-
tractor or building company to build
you a home and pay for it on in
stallments the same as rent. After
the home is built, you will know the
real pleasure of possessing a place
on which the landlord cannot raise
your rent. 1t is wonderful feeling
to be able to say: This belongs to
me; no one can put me out Then
you will find that the luxuries that
you have always wanted can be ac-
cumulated a few at time without
that ever present nightmare staring
you in the face: How will this stuff
be paid for? Remember that a
house can be rented, but home must
be owned"
