ticularly in the smaller towns,
has held the building purse
strings UP to the beginning of
the late depression.
It always worked out to the
benefit of the home owner to
@nance his home that way, and
because the prospective home
owner was better acquainted with
the lumber dealer than he was
with the banker more homes were
constructed in the past in rural
areas than otherwise would have
been built.
Not only would the lumber

he would build the house at a
considerable saving in labor cost
to the owner, and then would
take the owners notes and mort
gage for the job and turn it
over to his bank.
The modernization loan pro-
visions of the FdA will be oper-
ated in this fashion in the ma
jority of cases, it is expected, but
will be better for the owner in the
long run-the payments will be
made easier.
It will be possible for an owner,
having moderniZed his home and
thereby increased its appraised
value, to place his first trust and
undermining loan in one trust at
either q buildin-loan association
or at his bank and have the bene-
fits of the long tern amortization
provided under the mutual mort
gage insurance plan.
