Designed by McGUIRE & SHOOK, Architects
This house buying business is a, very serious one for YOU almost as serious as the choosing of a husband of wife, as you are surely MARRIED to that house and must live with it ) for better or for worse." You may buy clothes, furniture, books, autos and other personal property -- keep them about you so long as they are pleasing or serviceable, and put theni aside when you have tired of them, But the dwelling, in which you have invested your savings of years, is with you " for keeps." Buying "SK) NED" houses is just as touch a gamble as buying oil stocks, auning shares or Wall Street margins.
You know the old saying that some people "strain at i gnat and swallow a camel. "They are very particular zeven fistitlinus and Franky-in the buy fog ofs its, hats, shoes and all sorts of relatively small things, and then rush off ju somebody" Accommodatiey on a sunshiny Sunday au fond up with a. alf-baked shing together house (called a " "HOME OF YOUR OWN' in all their savings and mortgage their future, and the comforts of their families for an indentite term of yearss-all with as little concern for their own financial interests as if they, were buying a circus ticket or ar- ranging a suminer vacation.
Then, after they have lived in that "home of your own" for a season or two, have watched the cracks appear, the doors say, win dows stick or rattle, have suffered, in "cold as idud Washlage ton's soldiers at Valley Forge -- they KE UP. The cochantment due to that free automobile ride on a sunny sunday, the glamour of new paint, flowery wallpaper, gaudy (though cheap, hardware and hideous architectural wid is passed away, and the Clear vision of their sober judgment has come. . They have a Chopte of their own ", because no one cise wants it."" Then, what happens . Ninety -nine victims out of every 100 start on a bitter verbal crusaile against AI.I. buffders, contractors, lumber dealers and realty inen,
You will have yourself to blame if YOU/ go at the home buying problemu in this onbusinesslike manner and pet STUNG. The good Bible says that some people are always learning but never arriving at a knowledge of the truth. One of the simplest truthis of every day business is that you cannot expect to buy something for nothing;
another is that you deal with irresponsible people at your own risks If you want GOOD lawyers, GOOD doctors, GOOD merchandise or good ANYTHING, You must buy where good, reliable advice or. property is sold. Now, why not be CONSISTENT? If you want a good HIONEST BOPS yo and buy one where only that kind are made. Fifth avenue quality (the kind you lusishupon in most `thingsi cannot be obtained at Bowery prices. It Is HIGH TIME for sensible, intelligent and thrifty people to wake up BEFORE they go to sleep in squiebody's accommodating auto on a sumny Sunday and STOP beving at exorbitant prices, or at any prices; the carpenter planned boxes that are being run up in this town and sold for "HOMES .? Your forefathers built their BARNS much
