You can turn your equity into cash or borrow money on it. as security. 4 BASIS OF CREDIT The heme owner can open charge accounts, etc., without difficulty. You arc regarded as permanently located if you live in your own home. 5 PEACE OF MIND Based on the knowledge that provision has been made lor your family. 6 SOCIAL BACKGROUND A home of your own is the best social background for your family, especially your children. 7 CHILDREN'S PLAY PLACE In your home your children are not subject to the rules or criticism of your landlord. They lead freer lives with better opportunities for development. 8 DEVELOPING RESPONSIBILITY A home owner feels more responsibility with regard to his dwelling and the neighborhood. V C.lVfO INTERREST Home owners take more interest iis civic government and in public affairs. This is good for the owner and it is good for the town and country. 10 INDIVIDUAL EXPRESSION Exterior and interior of Uie noma <;?n tie made t? express l| the individuality ot the owner. j 1 1 PERMANENT ENVIRONMENT Making neighbors and friends whose friendships last over a period of years. 12 HABITS OF THRIFT Malting tegular payments on a home is one of the best means of cultivating habits of thrift. When the home is paid for. you have these habits well established. 13 HEALTHFUL EXERCISE Pride of possession inspires work around home and garden, which is healthful for indoor people. 14 CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT Responsibilities of ownership in meeting emergencies and financial payments, and in making repairs, etc.. develop business acumen and character. 1 ? c A MM \/ IMTM-nnxrr^i-^ ii /~\ivaiI_j i iiNurLriLlMJlLlNL.lL (Other than financial.) The home owner can order his life as he wishes, with no restrictions or interference from the landlord. 16 MEANS OF SAVING Statistics prove that one can occupy a home at approximately the same cost as he can rent an apartment or house of the same size. When he has completed the payments he lives in his owned home much more cheaply than in rented quarters. Thus, over a period of years he is money ahead by buying: and occupying a home. I 7 BEAUTIFUL FURNISHINGS Higher quality draperies and furniture can be purchased because they fit into a decorative scheme that will last for years, instead of having to be changed periodically as one moves about from place to place. 18 SIZE OF FAMILY No one can limit the number of youngsters in your own home. 1 19 NO RESTRICTION ON PETS out asking anyone's permission.
