Afr. Tracy' honest word

dorsement of Daffy'e is the
result of experience. She
recently wrote:
"I owe my life to Duffy's Pure Malt
Three years ago I was ill and tny fam
ily and friends thought I was in tbe
last stages of consumption. I had
several doctors and was under their
care, but I didn't Improve at all. I
heard of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey
and got a bottle of It. Before I used
a half of the bottle, I felt much bet
. ter and my people saw aa Improve
ment in me. I got strong and now I
go to business every day. I consider
. Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey a blessing
' and no home should be without a bot

Styles Change Even in Houses
But It la a mighty bard thing to get people to realize that
fact.
You will remember that In last week's talk, after determin
ing the value of the house, by figuring the Cost of Replacement
less the Depreciation, we said that sometimes the factor of Obso
lescence also bad to be considered.
The word Obsolescence cornea from Obsolete, meaning out
o( style.
Walk up and down any of our older residence streets and
you will find here and there bouses that depart radically from
present dsy styles In building.
Certainly thla fact must be taken Into consideration in ar
riving at the value of such a bouse.
Any builder will tell you that out-of-etyle bonsea do not
lend themselves very readily to the Installation of modern con
veniences. The amount to take off for Obsolescence or "out of dateneas,"
will be governed somewhat by what It would cost to remodel th
building to conform with present day types. But even thla would
be governed to some extent by the buyer's tastes.
We must repeat that these articles can only touch on the
more important factors of residence property values, and then
only In a general way. There are so many special factors enter
ing Into each case that a competent, experienced real estate man
who understands them thoroughly should be consulted before
buying any piece of Real Estate.
In next week's talk we will consider bow mistakes In Judg
ment tn building, affect the value of residence property.
