'Own Your Own Home'
Idea Growing Popular
(By John C. Hare in Philadelphia
Public Ledger.)
The "own-your-own-home"? movement,
which was inaugurated several
years' ago in Philadelphia and .whichhas
been productive of much good by
focusing attention on the many advantages
accruing to the borne owner
as compared with those enjoyed by
the Jheuse renter, is spreading rapidly
in other cities of the country, Real. ,
estate brokers' associations in those
cities have met with considerable success
in organised efforts not only to
induce the householder or ^hp ^pros-(
pective householder to invest ip ft
dwelling, but to promote the building
of such homes as the people need. In
these efforts the Philadelphia home
has always been used as the model individual
dwelling, a reputation which
it has long enjoyed.
Much has been spoken and written
in advocacy of home owning, .'and
virtually all of it is true. Indeen,
there has yet to be advanced one argument
against such an investment
as the purchase of a dwelling which
is worthy of an answer. advantages
enjoyed" by the home owner
over those by the house renter are
so many and so various that they admit
of no dispute.
There is, however, a wider aspect
of house ownership which is not so
often touched upon, and that is its
close relationship to the general welfare
of, the whole nation. Ever since
man ceased to dwell in tents and to
exchange the roaming habits of his
early ancestors for settled habitations
in villages, towns and cities his pro- j
gress in civilization has been meas- j
ured largely by the number and the
character of the houses he built, and
this is true with respect to every civilized
nation on the earth today.
The naked savages of Central Africa
are content with a palm-roofed
hut, which is at all times a more or
less temporary habitation, easy to
construct and easy to demolish if the
owner finds it necessary or desirable
to remove to another location. The
Eskimo iu his snow igloo, which melts
over his head with the incurrence of
spring .Sunshine; the Mongol of the
Asiatic plateau in his felt tent, which,
never remains longer thart- a few
months *11 one location, and the Australian
aborigine in his thatched shelter,
constructed bf reeds and brushy
are farj removed from the civilization
of today. They are probably comparatively
content in their.'present
surroundings, but their content is of
the kind possessed by those who have
never known any better conditions of
living. The progressive man has always
bfeen characterized by the constructive
instinct, which finds expression
not only in the dwellings and
monuments he has 'built, but in the
strong national organizations which
he has created through centuries of
effort. ^
The home is, and always has been,
the 4 unit from which the nation is
built, and unless human nature
changes very materially in the coming
centuries it will probably always
Continue to be the cornerstone of national
stability hnd prosperity. The
habit of home building and home
owning, therefore, has a much deepi&gitolVcance
than It has 'when up
fl^ to, tile manner of life of the individual
alone. It is a powerful factor
in the development in the citizen
of a sense of responsibility to his
family and to his country, without
which' no state can long exist. The
Athenians, says one of their historians,
were nearly always ready for a
revolution 'because, while their rulers
built magificient temples and palaces
the people in the city had no homes
tin which to live.
The resident? of great American
cities are better housed than those
of any other country in the world,
and of no other American city is this
more true than of Philadelphia, where
house building and house owning has
always been a habit. William -Penn,
the founder of the city, dwelt with
pride on the -progress of his little
colony when he wrote to friends in
England in his third year of residence
in America: "We have now
'thirty brick dwellings on the banks
,of the Delaware and twice as many
more built of oak or other timber.
Next year we hope to double that
number."
Penn's statue on City Hall tower
now looks out on a far-flung city of
hundreds ?f thousands of comfortable
well-built dwellings, which are added
to each year by several thousands
more, any ?ne of which contains more
| comforts and conveniences Jhan any
of his original householders ever considered
possible. The fact that the
I vast majority of these dwellings arc
owned by their occupants is a just
source of pride to the people of the
city and a guarantee of Its present
position and future progress as one
of the world's greatest centers of industry
and commerce.

.Making the Southland
a Neighborhood
For many years the great distances that separated
the spacious plantations and the scattered cities of
the Southland isolated the southern states from
one another and from the rest of the world.
But no longer is the South isolated. Today it has
^aken the place it deserves in the nation's industry
and commerce. Modern transportation by land,
water and air carries the products of southern
farms and factories to all parts of the world.
An important factor in this modern era is the
telephone. Whether you depend pp it to carry your
voice around the corner, across the continent or
over the Atlantic, you will find it ready to serve *
you?speedily, efficiently, economically.
This company is ever alert to reduce telephone
distance, to make larger telephone neighborhoods.
To that end we are spending over $30,000,009
during 1929 in the nine southeastern states that
we serve.
