VERY FEW PEOPLE H?V? G?N? THf|(?y^i t?$? Wl?H??t AT SOMETIME HAVING A DESIRE TO OWN A HOME Many of those with the desire have gone further and hoped it might be in the suburbs where they would have light, air, sunshine and health. But there was ^usually an obstacle. Either they didn't haye the money, couldn't borrow it, or to get the suburban proposition were obliged to forego modern conveniences, which spelled hardship for everybody. Formerly there w<?ro two kinds of suburban homes-those expensive mansions whose own ers could afford motors, laundresses, waitresses, maids, butlers, chefs, etc., and the little in expensive shack, surrounded by a half acre and a cheap picket fence^ located in the stix, where hubby had to be pulled out of bed before daylight to get to his work on time and reached home between seven ahd eight at night. College Heights offers lots at prices that are within the reach of any man paying reut. Cost of home building depends on his needs, his taste and his judgment. And a superb street cr?r service together With all modern conveniences will give you a suburban horne on a par with Mr. Anybody. . . ; Come and see-let us take you out to College Heights. Look under the surface and into the future of this property-its natural location, the trend of development, its surroundings, and then back your own good judgment with a purchase. You can't go wrong on this. FRANK & DeCAM^S R ?E A L T Y CO.
