TRADE YOUR HOME
Ever think about trading in your home as you do your
car? Your chances of doing it are fair to good now, but
they're getting better every day. The number of home build
ers taking trades is presently at an all-time high — and
still going up. Don't expect your asking price, but do expect
to shed the responsibilities of reading your house for sale,
advertising it, and finding a buyer (who has the right cash).
Maybe one day we'll all be trading homes once a year —
who knows?"

peace time emergencies.
An interesting question and
answer period followed Mr.
Floyd’s talk.
