BUSINESS CONCERNS
MODERNIZE PLANTS
Many Are Frightening Their Es-
tablishments in Line With
Federal Program.

With the provisions Of the mod
ernization credit plan of the Federal
Housing Administration extended to
the owners of business and CONNER
cial properties, as well as to home
owners, many branches Of industry
and trade are Frightening up their
establishments with fresh paint.
Housing Administrator James A.
Moffett has specifically urged indus
tries to do their share of moderniza-
ton and repair, just as the home owner
is being asked to renovate his dwelling.
In line with this program, one of
the large national food distributing
organizations notified the Housing
Administration this week that 1t
planned to launch Immediately $780,
900 worth of repair and improvement
work at its plant Much of this sum,
it is expected, will be expended for
renewed surface protection, both in
side and out.
Building experts recognize the
amazing transformations that can be
wrought in stores, shops, factories and
warehouses through the application Of
paint in suitable colors. The work
is appraised from the standpoint Of
an investment, since not only is the
wood, metal, masonry or other sur
face preserved against deterioration,
but relief from eye-strain is provided.
Improved disposition Of those who
work and live in such surroundings
results and employers experience
greater efficiency among employees,
with consequential production in
crease.
While the larger industrial houses
are expected to draw on their own
reserves for such work, the small busi-
ness man can avail himself Of the
borrowing plan of the Government.
He is recognizing. more and more,
the opportunities in the low-cost loan
plan to make improvements now that
will brighten up his trading place and
mark up profits through increased
business brought about by more at

man Cites Efforts of Fed
eraI Housing Body.

Through the efforts Of the Federal
Housing Administration the average
man is rapidly learning how to make
home a more cheerful, convenient and
comfortable place, declared e. L. Gil
bert, q spokesman for the building in
dustry.
THE average loan Is about $579
under title I of the act" stated Gil
bert, whereas Department of Labor
figures over q period of months last
year established $531 as the average
amount spent per job before the hous-
ing act went into operation. This in
crease in the average amount spent per
job Is significant because it shows
home owners are having more COM
plete modernization done: evidently
the educational material being issued
by the Federal Housing Administration
is focusing public attention and inter-
est on the home, otherwise this in
crease of about 10 per cent in the
average expenditure for home repairs
and modernization cannot be logically
explained.
This emphasis on home properties,
with authoritative information so that
the average man can understand how
contractors, builders and lumber deal
ers will help him with advice and &C
ton, is making 1t easier for owners to
appreciate realty values. With an un-
derstanding of home property values,
the ridiculously low prices now pre-
vailing in many localities are begin
ming to appeal to the general public
and this development may be largely
responsible for the upturn in real
estate sales since F. H. A. started to
function.
People are basically interested in
their homes" concludes Gilbert, land
the Federal Housing Administration is
helping them to make their dreams
come true by disseminating sound in
formation which is most helpful in de-
termining true values in home build
ings and properties"

but the benefits resulting from the
Week should have just began.
During that week speakers and
writer's, through the mediums of the
press, the platform, radio and adver-
Using, told US of life insurance. We
learned about annuities, about bust
ness reverse protection, about po-
licies guaranteeing education for
ones children and security for our
W old age, about endowments'
straight life and a dozen other kinds
of policies. Many of US doubtless
were surprised to discover how COM
pletely life insurance meets the var
ious financial and family problems
each individual must face and solve.
We learned that it is an investment
as well as a protection, that 1t can
be used to build an estate as well as
to protect dependents against the
death of the provider- Such lessons are
invaluable at a time when social prob
lens and the art of buying are a SER

A little boy Of nine will demand
Grandma give me a drink" Grand

he will rush in from school and
throw down his hat and his overcoat
and often will say Grandma hang

squall Grandma l can't find it.
You'll have to come and get it." And
when his grandma requires that he
stop playing a few minutes and get
something for her he frowns and

Looking back l remember when
parents and grand parents were the
favored ones and the children served
them. Boys brought in fuel and made
the fires but now that's Dads work.
Then little daughter tucked up Moth

Then children would never protest
when required to render any kind of
service. And in those days children
were more self reliant and too they
had more respect for their parents
than is shown by children Of today.
