OMAHA HOMES
IN DEMAND AT
PRESENT TIME
Buyers for Property Are Nu
merous and Bargains Are
Being Quickly Snapped
Up, Say the Agents.
According (to Ed F. Williams,
houses in Omaha are idling rapidly,
and he advises home buyers to get
busy early.
. "Last Tuesday a woman called me
up and asked about buying a certain
kind of a home' said Mr. Williams.
"I told her I had just such a place,
or rather, had two that-1 thought
would suit her. She asked me to take
. her and her hnsband out on Sunday
. to see them. I said Sunday was
rather far off and the houses might be
sold before then. But she thought not
"Friday she called me again and
said they would go out and look at
thexn that afternoon, instead of Sun
day. I had to tell her the two houses,
' had been sold. She expressed the
greatest surprise.
"It so happened that I had Another
house on hand and I showed them
that. It pleased them and they imme
diately gave me a substantial pay
ment on it. They weren't taking any
more chances on losing a home," .,
Mr. Williams says the sale of homes
is divided about half between those
sold on payments and those paid for
in cash. ,
. VOne man came in here from out in
the state" said Mr. Williams. "He and
his wife wanted to buy a home. It so
happened that I had a handsome
bungalow and I took him out to see
; it He fell in love with the property
at once. He went away, but came
back in a few hours and paid for the
bungalow in spot cash, $5,000."

Building Material Will Be '
No Cheaper, Says Martin
"I do not believe mill work or
other building material will be any
cheaperfor the next four years," says
Charles Martin, 'who is starting 25
new homes in Minne Lusa. "People
want the homes and must have some
place to live, so what is the use in
hanging back on a forlorn hope that
i prices are soon going to break. Even
if the war were to come to sudden
end prices would not take a drop,
for there would be a greater demand
for building material and this de
mand would keep the prices up.V

RENT MONEY SAVED,
HOME MONEY EARNED
W. R. Gibson, Payne Invest
ment Co., So Sums Up the
Owning" and Renting
Situation.
W. R. Gibson, manager of the
Payne Investment company's city
sales department, tells of interesting
experiences in selling homes to Oma
ha renters. In one instance, he was
just two hours selling a place to a
business man who had been renting
for 10 years.
One morning this tnan's landlord
came to his place, as he was eating
breakfast, to ask permission to pile
some lumber and brick on the lot
as he wanted to build a new house
next door. After the landlord left,
the tenant finished his breakfast and
told hii wife that he was going to
buy a home that day. He had to bor
row part of the $500 cash payment re
quired, but he got it and the $30 a
month he has been paying for the last
three years has not been rent. His
home is half paid for now, and he is
one of the happiest home owners in
Omaha today.
Mr. Gibson also tells of one client
.who moved to Omaha three years
ago and has since made a good thing
of buying property, fixing it up, and
renting it letting the fellow who
doesn't "own his own home" provide
his income.
When there is such good profit in
ownjng and renting homes, Mr. Gib
son says it is not to be wondered at
that people are waking up to the, fact
that rent money saved is home money
earned, and that the demand for
homes on easy payments is likely to
prove greater than the supply in
Omaha.
