Home Festival Is Modelled on Trode Fair Lines
By jones w. Peorson

Uy SumSS W. HGQtSVN
Executiys Vice President, Home Builders
The trade fairs Of the 18th
Century in Middle Europe and
the British Isles were the color
full vehicles by which good will
and friendly trade practices
were fostered.
We like to think that the Fall
Festival Of Homes which our
association Is sponsoring in sco-
operation with The Evening
Star, and our Annual Home
Show which we have produced
at the District of Columbia Ma
tional Guard Armory for the
last eight years, are pro-
grammed for the same purpose
and along the same lines as
those trade fairs of another CEN
tury.
The Ninth Annual Home Show
and Do-It- Yourself Exposition
will be held February 1927.
1855, in the huge armory located
at Nineteenth and East Capitol
streets. There you will see actual
demonstrations of the many
uses Of the hundreds Of new
building products and advanced
construction methods which will
be utilized by local builders in
the next years homes.
II you visited the 1854 Home
Show last April, you saw the

FILA Inaugurafes
Open End Loans
Under New Program

The newly authorized FLA
"open-end" mortgage Is q .'new
kind Of credit to improve the
quality Of Americas houses"
FILA has already issued Its
rules and regulations making
the new service available to the
home buying public In accord
ance with the Housing Act Of
1854.
FILA explained In q statement
this week the new tool is an
ordinary FEIA-insured mortgage
with an additional arrangement
under which the home owner
may borrow back from the lend
ing institution up to the amount
Of the original mortgage In order
to repair or improve his home.
The open-end advance, the
agency said, is then repaid over
the remaining term.
The arrangement is an op-
tional one requiring both that
the home owner desires to i'm
prove the basic Inability or util-
ity Of his home and that the
lender is willing to make the
advance.
In all States where open-end
mortgages are permitted by
State law they may now be used
in connection with FHA-insured
mortgages on one-to-four family
homes.
"As a result" said FILA COM
missioner Norman P. Mason,
'shome owners now have a ve-
hicle which will give them long
term credit at a low interest rate
when they need to make major
repairs or when they want to
improve the quality Of their
homes" "
The open-end mortgage pro-
vision augments FTIA's Title !
home modernization and i'm
provement program under which
the home owner may obtain up
to $4,000 from his local bank or
any other FHA-approved lending
institution to finance repairs or
additions to his property.
Under the Title I home mod
ernization program. he may have
up to three years to pay back
the loans in monthly INSTALL
mentS.
