Home Owning Good Business.
From business standpoint,
money paid into home Is a much
better proposition than money paid
out for rent. The rent is paid, the
period Of the lease expires, and you
! are just where you started. neither
| richer nor poorer, but simply with

have lived in the house; it is likely
to grow as time passes, II the home

greater amount Of capital is needed
/ to begin with, but modern business
methods are providing means Of
bringing home ownership within the
reach of almost every one; for those
who are unable to buy outright
easy payments and systems Of credit
make it possible to buy home with
little more effort than it takes tt

Once you own your own home
you can count yourself as really
possessing a mans share OF THU
worlds goods; your standing in thu
community Is established, you
credit is acceptable and you hav'
something to fall back on in cas-
