Rarely indeed can a young married man be found who is not planning to build. Because, if a man has any ambi tion at all, and if he cares for his family to the slighest degree he is looking forward to the time when he can pro vide a home, a home that will be really his own. The trouble is that the young man is always GOING to build. Going to build, but he is always and forever putting it off. And meanwhile he is frittering away his money on rents with nothing more to show for it than receipts. So we ask you whether you are REALLY going to build or whether you are merely talking about it, and if you ARE going to build, we ask you WHEN? Figure it from a purely business viewpoint, from the dollars-and-cents standpoint, and you will certainly see the wisdom of buying and building NOW. Property values are certainly lower now than they will be in the future. And in the real estate columns of THE BEE you will be brought in touch with many reliable concerns, real estate men and builders, who will assist you. You can buy a lot, have a home erected according to your in dividual taste, move into it, and pay for it as you use it, same as you now pay rent. In the end you will own a home which will be worth more than you paid for it because the natural in crease in property values will be work ing to your advantage. It's better than putting money in the bank. And remember to use THE BEE as your real estate guide because it is the dominant real estate medium of Omaha. The Omaha Lsv 3 3
