If for any reason you who have vacant lots
desire to sell them tell those who are looking for
just such lots about it in a Herald Want Ad.
It may be that the man you want to meet lives
in your block or he may live over on the west side
of town or the oast side, but there's a man some
where here in Augusta who w ants to buy your lot
and build a house on it.
Try a Herald Want Ad and see if it won’t find
the man for you.>

WHAT RENTER IN MODEL TOWN GETS.
Four-rcom apartment - $25.00 to $32.50
Five-room cottage $30.00 to $35.00
Large sunny, modern, landscaped homes, equipped wfth five-burn
er gas range, water heater, stationary wash tubs, high grade lighting and
plumbing fixtures, oak floors in living rooms.
No crowding of houses.
Lawns and gardens.
A “view” from every house.
American community, since only
American citizens can become tenants.
The majority rules, in everything.
If Hill Jones has a (log and the dog
digs up Tom Smith’s turnips, the two
neighbors don't call names over the
tiack fence. They take the matter of
doers and turnips up with the propor
committee, and then the whole town
declares which it wants most, pets or
garden truck.
That's the spirit of the place.
It’s the spirit which builds ships,
which begets constructive co-operation
and makes contented workmen and
happy families, as Uncle Sam's record
its landlord here shows.

The IT. S. Housing Corporation, or

the average citizen and workman can
have a real home for his family and
where he can have a voice in the con

As such it is a place to think about,

OWN YOUR OWN HOME!
The U. S. Department of Labor Information and Educational Service writes:
Oeorge M. Reynolds. President of the Continental and Commercial National Bank of Chicago, has sent
to the IT. S. Department of Labor a letter giving assurance of his support of the Own Tour Own Home
campaign. Me. Reynolds says:
'lt should be every man s abmitton to own his home. In reall sing that ambition he will be provid
ing for the future of his family and himself. He will be doing far more than merely furnishing a, nxrf
over the heads of those he loves; 'he will be laying the foundation upon which his children will build firm
ness and nobtttty of charade
“A permanent resident In tfte !.ome you own means the develop ment of a higher type of cftizenshlp,
for the home owners have prtefe in the'communlty. Tl\ey know that the general standard of the commu
nity will be raised or lowered by the Interest or lack of interest they take in civic affaire
“Patriotic Impulse prompts the desire to own a home, and parti ctio duty calls for the building of
homes now. when the employment of labor in that manner will do m uch toward providing work for the
boys who are returning from the front. Apparently not much is to be gained by waiting for a decline in
prices of budding materials, for authoriUes tell us it la impossible for prices to recede to any considerable
extent In the face of costs of production, which are likely to continue without much change for at least a
year or two longer. In the meantime, refits are advancing and homes are becoming very scarce. Nothing
Is more sum to encourage th rift than the act of acquiring a home. Thousands ot men have had the ex
perience will vouch for the co rrectneaa of this statement."
