To the Real Estate Editor Of Tribune.
Sir: BY accident happened TO get
copy of your Sundays issue of several
weeks ago containing Miss A. l.. KS
letter seeking advice from your readers
on the purchase of home costing
$500 on an income of SAB week. The
letter interested me greatly, as the
business in which am connected is
soon to move to New York and / am
thinking Of buying home there. The
result is that I have purchased your
Sunday paper each week since and have
read the replies to Miss A, L. KS let
ter and the other correspondence on
the subject with great pleasure. ! hope
you will continue to publish these let
tiers, for am sure they interest hun
dreds Of others like myself.
/ would like to purchase home cost
ing from $1,000 to So 900 within easy
committing distance OF Manhattan.
have already received q good offer for
the sale of my home, which would bring
me 1900 in ready cash. OF this sum
would like TO invest 81 800 toward the
initial payn ent on a New York home

of them have purchased them through
building loan associations.
| believe such associations should be
encouraged in New York and move

sons TO join them. It was through this
means of saving that / purchased the
home that / am now about to sell. Each

would not make it too heavy a burden
to carry on the salary l received, and
after selecting it the building loan

me. There is still remaining a small
mortgage on the property, and don't

The offer which / have received for
my home will give me a profit.

Builder Says He Can Help
Houseseeker Get House
Sauings and Income Sufficient
to GiUe Him Secen Rooms
in Nearby Suburbs

To Real Estate Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: l am afraid "Homeseeker" is
either easily discouraged or too hard
to please.
l don't know what other builders are
asking, or on what plan they sell their
houses, but / will sell him for 1855
down. the amount he has saved,
and $50 per month to run ap-
proximately seven years, after which
it will be $50 per month only, six
room house, and the only item that
he will pay in addition to the above
will be for heating, which will not ex-
coed SO per month.
This will make his greatest out
lay $64 per month for the first year,
and growing less each year. The
house is Of semi-freproof stucco ex-
terror. Upkeep nil. No painting to
do. Interior decorations are of the
best. All street assessments paid, and
street improvements in place. And
the construction: If he can find a
better built building at any price l
will make him present of it.
/ am building two hundred Of these
houses. NJ Z. Z.
