@~@0 CANVAS PROPERTY OWN ER RS! I need one family, two family, and three family houses on Bunker Hill, Out East, Hopeville, Wal nut St., Middlebury, Wa tertown, in fact, in all To- cations for clients who really want to buy.
 I want your confidence, so, if you desire to sell, you will place your prop erty in my hands to sell for you. Plain, true state
 
 ments in the press is my only avenue to gain your confidence. Consummation of business transactions is my proof that your con- fidence was not misplaced.  I will positively not buy your property to resell and thereby deprive you of some of it's sales value. When you sell your prop erty to a real estate man, he buys because he knows the market value and the demand. He will not buy unless he is assured of a fancy profit when he re- sells. After he resells at a profit of $2,000 dollars,
 
 you, justly so, feel that advantage was taken of you and that profit he re- alized should be yours be- cause you owned that property. On the other hand, the purchaser on learning that this real es- tate man bought this property two days or two weeks previously for $2,- 900 less than he sold it to the purchaser for, he can justly feel that he had ad- vantage taken of him.
 THEREFORE
 If you want to sell, call me first and assure your self of a square deal and if you buy from me, you can feel assured that I did not personally buy this property, Jack up the price and unload it on YOU.

Navy BIimp's Record
REGARDED as Showing
Lonq-Range Utility

The Navy blimp which set nom
refueling record by flying for more
than a week demonstrated, among
other things, the usefulness Of the
blimp for long-range missions over
areas which lack normal landing
facilities, officials declared today.
Rear Admiral Thomas G. w
Settle, chief of airShip training and
experimentation at Lakehurst, N. j..
said the 7-day and 2-hour, non
stop flight was by no means q
stunt" and could have been ex-
tended for another "A hours.
The Navy, Admiral Settle said, has
considered using blimps as radal
warning outposts to spot oncomine
guided missiles or rockets and a
weather patrol ships in Arctic
regions.
The crew Of the blimp, which
took OF from Lakehurst October
n and landed Sunday at Glynco
Ga, was in excellent physical con.
dition after the flight, it was said
and some members even gained
weight on their diet aloft.
Lighter -than-air ships are espe-
eially well suited, Admiral Settle
said, to Arctic service because they
are relatively easy to operate ir
poor visibility over country where
ground facilities are few and fal
between.
The purpose of the flight was te
test sustained cruising ability o1
the ships and living conditions
aboard, rather than to set worlds
record, it was said. A medical off,
Ger was included in the 13-mar
crew commanded by 1t. Howard r
Walton, rs, OF Ames, Iowa.

Officials Confident I
OF Federal Loan for
Prefabricated Homes

Government housing officials ex-
pressed confidence today that Fed
eral money will be forthcoming to
spur mass production of prefabri-
Gated homes in the $171, 100000
Dodge Chrysler plant at Chicago
and elsewhere.
These officials said Housing Ad-
ministration Wilson Wyatt. expected
a reply today from the reconstruc-
ton Finance Corp. on his appeal
that it reconsider its action OF last
week. At that time RFC rejected an
application by the Lustron Corp
for a $50, ,000, 600 loan to enable 1t to
take over the big Chicago war plant
for housing production.
Tied up in the same decision are
additional credits for Lustron ano
loans to number OF other con-
Germs eager to get into the pre-
fabricated housing business with
Federal financial aid.
Spokesman for the National Hous-
ing Agency, describing an "amicable'
settlement with RFC entirely pos
sible," added that should the lending
agency again say mo" Mr.. Wyatt
would not hesitate to issue dlrec-
tive under the Veterans Emergency
Housing Act to order the credits ad-
yanced.
Even if the money is forthcoming
however, MIA has another obstacle
to hurdle. It is an agreement the
War Assets Administration has
made to lease the Dodge Chryslel
plant to the Tucker Corp. for the
manufacture of q new-type auto
mobile.
When MIA directed WAA to ne
gotiate lease with Lustron instead
WAA checked the matter up to the
Attorney General for decision OF
legality of the order. This decision
still is pending.
Yesterday MIA issued new di
rective in which it ordered WAA Il
turn over those portions Of the plan
which the housing administrato
later will certify as necessary to
Lustron but excluding from imme
diate delivery any part of the plan
already occupied by Tucker Corp
or leased by WAA to any othe
party"
The Tucker company has con
tended it needed most of the plan
and WAA agreed to lease all Of l
to that company.
