MORTGAGES ON
REAL ESTATE
POPULAR
Prudent Investors Find They
Have Profit Edge on Stocks
= and Bonds.

A study of mortgage investments
of American life insurance COM
panies, just made by the National
Association of Real Estate Boards
and now being printed, will shortly
be issued to the 10000 members of
the association in the belief that
the findings which it presents con-
stitute one of the strongest argu-
ments that has ever been put forth
for the validity and desirability of
real estate mortgages
Investments of practically all the
life insurance companies of the
country for the years l915-l92l are
covered in the analysis, which COM
pares the returns received by these
companies from real estate mort
gage holdings and from other types
of investment. The study is based
on data prepared by the Alfred M.
Best Company. The analysis was
made for the national association
by the Institute for Research in
Land Economics of the University
of Wisconsin, under the direction
of DIR. Richard T. Ely, the inst1-
tute's head.
The rate of return secured from
mortgage investment by American
life insurance companies in the
period covered shows an average
advantage over rate Of return from
investments in stocks and bonds of
1.49 per cent annually, the statis-
tics show. The average gross rate
earned on mortgages is 6.1; on stocks
and bonds 4.6 per cent. This
gives on the rate earned an adj
vantage in favor of mortgage invest
ments of practically 25 per cent.
Particular significance attaches
to the showing which the study
makes because of the fact that the
period covered by the records ex-
amined comprises the major portion
of a business cycle during which
we had one of the most abrupt
price movements in the history of
the United States. 1t was a period
Of great stress, and a test period
for investment security.
Comparison of the average gross
rates of income earned by the in
surance companies on mortgages
and on stocks and bonds is given
in the following data:

resulted in the adoption of several
unusual features in the plan:
First, there is the elimination of
all hall space in the first floor,
thus giving a large living room.
Then, there is the entrance vestibule,
which is placed in a one-story ex-
tension so as not to encroach on
the living room, and coat closet
is also provided.
The stairs start up from the rear
of the living room and land in the
center of the house at the second
floor: this allows the rooms to be

since the main stairs connect with
the kitchen as well as the living
room.
There is no pantry between the
dining room and kitchen: the cup
boards are placed in the kitchen
proper. Pantries in small houses
are of doubtful value. They simply
increase the number of steps be-

requiring extra effort in serving
a meal.
