Some Of Your Business
BY LILA THOMSON

Something new has come to
Rockville in the way of services
to homeowners. Known as Mr.
Home Service, Inc, and located
at 404 E. Montgomery ave., this
unique organization is an asso
cation of home owners which
supplies its members with pool
Of carefully selected home re-
pair contractors and functions
as a middle-man between you
and the repair man. 1t operates
on membership basis and those
who belong may call for help
on everything from pounding
nail to building a house-to say
nothing of repairs on sulky ap'
pliances. You may have read
Sylvia Porter's column in the
Washington Star on a similar
organization. It's new; it's diff
ferent, and 1t may be the answer
to home owner repair problems.
