Real Estate Man in Clifton
Terrace Cashes In on
Situation

1t matters not what the event
might be. there il always one who
win take advantage Of every Cppor-
tunity to increase business.
One example Of this Is shown in an
occurrence during the past week. A
welI-known apartment had made q
general increase IN rents. There was
naturally howl from the occupants.
Mass meetings were held, threats
made and a general uprising fore.
cast. 1t appeared that a local real
estate man was one Of the occupants,
and on the morning following per-
haps the most bOisterous mass meet
ing, the following letter was found
in the mail box OF each apartment
in the building:
eff they are raising your rent
and you are naturally dissatisfied
why not do what you thought of
doing years agc7 Buy that home

forts, not to speak OF your prestige

but my house viii be ready Deem

There is no doubt that the writer,
w. w. Jones, of Shannon and Luchs,
Is right in his advice. No man can
ever hope to be independent until
he owns his own home. Under pres
ent conditions 1t is possible to buy
from any number Of local realtors q
nice comfortable dwelling for q very
small cash payment and terms to
suit the buyer, so why not act now?

Frequently, local realtors have
