The community Is at the center
Of the richest tobacco growing State

from the development of a wide
area naturally tributary.

A comfortable two-hour drive by

The purpose and program of the

BRICK BUILDING
IS SAFEST

Men do many things for peace
of mind. They start savings &C.
counts and practice self denial re-
ligiously to accumulate a sufficient
sum to make them feel safe against
the always to be expected rainy
day.
They buy life insurance as a pro-
lection for their loved ones.
They buy accident insurance and
health insurance.
They make themselves slaves to
business routine. And when Il
comes to building a house they
forget all this precaution.
Yet building for peace of mind
Is worth the consideration OF every
prospective home owner. There Is
wonderful satisfaction in being
able to leave ones home without
fear Of its burning down before
you return.
The confidence q fire resistive
home gives you is well worth the
little added initial cost Of its con.
struction.
And there is always this added
consolation: II it will not burn
neither viii 1t rot. Nor is It nee.
essary to paint it every two or
three years to prevent decay.
These are cardinal advantages
which every owner of a brick home
possesses. They are qualities which
every prospective home builder
may have at an astonishingly
small increase in investment If he
builds Of common brick.
Costs of common brick homes
need not run in excess of 6 per
cent more than those of frame
homes of the same design. And
this statement can be substantiated
in any community where common
brick do not cost to exceed SIS a
thousand.
The only difference between the
present day brick house and its
counterpart built Of wood lies in
the outer walls. Interior construc'
ton Of both are the same. Founda.
tons, chimneys and roofs are the
same. Any experienced mason
Wntractor can demonstrate in five
minutes that this statement is true.
1t is what's in the walls that
makes not only the difference in
cost, but the difference in safety
and durability, and the difference
in peace of mind.

to leave an estate to heirs. Under
the ordinary annuity contract, the
estate Is eXtinguished at death.
However, some of the companies Will
offer a compromise annuity contract
At Mr.. Weston's age, for example.
instead of getting $.255.24 for each
$1,000 invested until death, he could
contract to get $167.42 yearly as long
as he lives, and an assurance that,
if he has not received $1,000 during
his lifetime, his estate will receive
the difference between the payments
actually made and $1,000.
People Without Dependents.
The straight annuity is especially
attractive for old people without de
pendents. Where there are sentiment
al reasons for leaving bequests to
heirs, the annuity can be combined
with security investments in varying
proportions. Old bachelors, spinsters
widows and others of limited capital
can after the age of SO achieve the
maximum income return consistent
with safety through an annuity con-
tract.
At first blush, the annuity contract
seems to be something for nothing
but the return has been scientifically
worked out in accordance with the
expectancy of life of those making
the contract. Although the return Is
extraordinarily high on aged folk
whose expectancy of life is short, it
is relatively low on younger men and
women whose expectancy of life is
long. Young people as a rule consider
annuities only as safeguards against
their own business risks and invest
