OMAHA—A CITY OF HOMES (Second of a series of articles pre pared by the Publicity Bureau) Nearly half of the people who live, in Omaha—48.4%—own homes. Only three cities in the United States show a larger percentage, the highest be ing 51.1%. In addition to its large number of home owners, Omaha has tne added advantage of being without slums and tenements. The latest census shows a total c* 44,799 homes owned by Omahans. Of this number 22.8% were entirely free from debt. There were 41,520 fam ilies. Of this number 19,099 owned their homes, 5,000 lived in apartments and 4,000 in flats. The average cost of homes is estimated at $5,000 each. The annual increase of home owner ship in Omaha during the last twenty years has been steady and rapid. In 1900, 27.7% of the population owned homes. In 1910 the number had in creased to 39.8%. Between 1900 and 1920 there was a gain of 20.7%. Omaha’s annual gain in home own ership has been higher and steadier than that of any of the three leading cities, advancing at a rate of approxi mately 1% a year in the last two decades. Of the three cities which have a higher percentage of home ownership than Omaha, the first in creased 12.6% in the last 20 years, the second 8.8%, and the third 6.4%. Every indication points toward Omaha taking first place within the next three or four years. I Where nearly half of the total pop ulation own the homes in which they live and where the average value per home Is $5,000, it is evident that a great many of the homes are owned by people of medium financial stand ing. This condition is largely re sponsible for the absence of slums and tenenments in Omaha. While the rich residences in the suburbs attest the wealth of the city, thousands of smaller dwellings give proof of the well-being of Omaha's salaried and wage-earning class. Oraaha's 13 public playgrounds, its 23 parks, municipal bathing beach, tennis courts and golf courses,, it. 170 churches and the fact that 90rt of its children attend public schools, are further evidence of the well-being of family life in the city. Men purchase homes only in cities j in which they have confidence. Those ; who own homes own part of a city. They represent that city when they do business. Those who deal with Omaha are likely to be dealing with home owners. SULTOX FOR COLDS AND PNEUMONIA There is a great deal of pneumonia and many deaths from pneumonia.
