If Were you prepared to answer “Yes?" m |j The purchase of real estate is the first step toward financial independence. The worker who owns his home is much less concerned about work becoming slack than the one who doesn’t. At the grocery store, at the clothing store, at the department store—everywhere where credit is sought—home owners are given preference. If Make a start—buy a home. If The “City Real Estate” columns of The Sunday Omaha Bee are brim full of splendid home opportunities—cozy, homey places for the man of limited means—beautiful, pretentious ones for the buyer with more exacting tastes. In most cases a substantial initial payment will enable you to move in and begin living under your own roof.
