C . .„ ■ Home-Owning Has Made Concord Steady, Progressive City With Stabilized Population Large Proportion of Popula tion Are Property Owners. —Most Attractive Types of Residences Are Found.

It is a stabilized, steadv com munity. Real estate in desirable residential sections has always been on the market at reasonable prices. The banks have al ways been willing to aid the worthy in dividual in buying his own home, and no man who has shown a desire to be independent in this respect has ever fail ed to secure encouragement and support financially and morally. The type of homes in Concord is par ticularly striking, and many retain the architectural designs of the last centurv.
