Are You One of the i
; ;
Forty-Eight Per Cent?
Forty-eight and four-tenths per cent of the
families living in Omaha own their own
homes. They have proven by example, that
they have confidence in Omaha’s future.
They have found that home ownership I
makes better citizens, and makes for hap
pier home life.
How about you? Are you still doubtful
about Omaha's future. Don’t you know that
»
Omaha is in the “spotlight” of the world as
the “bright spot” in the nation’s economic
map?
Opportunities for investment are all around j
you. In Omaha are scores of splendid addi- !
tions available for homes—Loveland, New
Units of Happy Hollow, Standard Place.
1
Twinridge, Bonita, West Dodge Acres and
Florence Field. These plots await but the
builder’s hand to bring happiness and pros
perity to hundreds of Omaha families.
Get out of the habit of waiting! Construc
tive “debts” have built nine-tenths of the
estates today. The big thing—the impor
j tant thing is to WANT a home. Turn to
the “want ads“ now and you will find home
sites that represent sound investments.
