employment in fields where otherwise
there would be little or none.
In spite Of the widespread miscon-
ception Of what the mortgage really
stands for; in spite Of the unfair
drubbing 1t took in the long period Of
general economic turmoil, mortgage
values are now on the way up. While
this increase in value has just recently
begun. approximately one-half Of the
depreciation suffered in the last three
years has already been wiped out. For
this and other reasons, we believe the
mortgage field of the future will be
even more extensive. 1t may not be
SO easy for the one without working
capital to make and market mortgages.
The investor will doubtless require more
positive evidence of ability and reSpon-
sibility, especially the latter. Trust
funds, such as the accumulations OF
building and loan associations and in
surance companies. must have long
term investments where the element
of risk is reduced to a minimum. As
stability returns, these funds will flow
back into mortgages. particularly into
mortgages on soundly constructed in
dividual homes"
