Home Rehab. Says
Keep Your House
Up

Buying a home is the largest
single Investment which the aver
age American family makes, ac-
cording to a survey made by ma
tional organization. Too many
people, however, are blinded by the
outer appearance of the building
and forget to consider its actual
living conditions. To these people,
Home Rehabilitation Corporation,

help to homeowners through its re-
pair and remodeling service de-
partmentS.
So many folks have homes with
roofs that leak, bathrooms that are
L..ulty, Kitchens that are old fash
ioned The plumbing in the house
is defective because of cheap grade

cv,ored. Very often the building

is condemned and families are fore
eL to lose their homes through negll-
gcnce on their parts in not finding
out what goes INTO a house when
they buy it
If such conditions exist, it is bet
ter to consult with repair experts
like Home Rehabilitation Corpora
ton. Very often, for little money
the house can be put back into good
ndition so that condemnation can
Il. avoided. Roofing can be repair
Il so that the inclement weather
doesn't harm the building or hurt
tia people inside. Old fashioned
K tchens can be remodeled so that

seen in magazines on how kitchen

Of great importance to the home
owner is the fact that he can have
his repairs done Immediately with
out making any payments at the
time the work is done, The FILA, the
United States law that helps owners

T rough firms like Home Rehabili-
tation Corporation, the work is done

amount of the contract is paid off
in three years. Best Of all, it costs
nothing to get an estimate on how
much the work will cost, on how
