Junk over in its combined ware
house, repair shop and store and sells
it,
In the collection, repair and sales
departments are ex-service men who
tramped the streets IN search of en-
ployment, Here they find work of n
Kind that many of them understand.
Skilled mechanics, repairmen from a
hundred different lines, even one from

They turn nothing into something that
somebody wants and the proceeds go

Not alone the ex-soldicr himself but

could do so at cost.
Itw sa realized by tho company
management that number of en-
ployes had lost not alone their houses.
but their household goods as well. and
that they would be unable to secure
loans with which to again establish
themselves in homes, and as there was
a great scarcity of houses in the city.
they would have great difficulty to

Plans were prepared for houses Of
2. A. and s rooms, and bids were
called for from contractors according
to Specifications presented to them.
Decision was then made to build SO
houses proportioning the number OF
each size In the ratio asked for by
employees at the time the survey was
made by the various superintcndents
of departments.
These fifty houses are now about
completed at a total cost OF S142,500;
each OF them occupies one or more
lots. and the locations Of all are high
1y desirable in every particular. The
value of the lots SO occupied is $751;
600.
Exact cost, plus the value of the
lots, Is the price at which these homes
are being sold to flood sufferers who
are employees of the company. The
sales are being made on terms which.
will permit the purchasers to pay
for them over a long period at q
reasonable rate of interest.
The houses. as stated. are well To-
Gated and reasonably near the work
of the occupants: at the same time
they are modern and well constructed
