Show u LOOK THE HOUSE OVER Take a walk around your home and property. If you are the average home-owner, you'll find lots of places where repairs, replacements or alterations should be made. The steps are becoming rickety the electric wiring in the basement and garage is in poor condition new "plumbing fixtures are needed the roof is beginning to leak those hardwood floors for the living room you've been thinking about so long have never materialized the garden and lawn should be rejuvenated the whole house could do with a new paint job. The addition of a few labor-saving devices in the kitchen would make your home a more pleasant plea-sant and efficient place to live in. It's probable that you've been thinking of making such repairs and betterments as these for several years and haven't had them done because of nervousness as to the future, the thought that you'd better keep your money as intact as possible. That's the kind of reasoning that has prolonged the depression. It's the kind of reasoning that throws men out of work and makes it impossible for them to find new jobs; the kind of reasoning that causes basic industries to run at the lowest production point in decades. Today you can obtain property-improvement, of what ever kind, for a fraction of what it would have cost you five or ten years ago. You'll probably never be able to buy so cheaply again it's almost certain that prices will rise sharply in the near future. You'll be getting an amazingly big construction dollar's worth. And you'll be putting men to work, putting money into payrolls and salary checks and purchase orders. Don't forget that jobs are cheaper than charity and that only jobs make charity possible. |
