For A Bigger And Better City
One of the most pressing
problems confronting Eliza
beth City to-day is its housing
problem. '
There is a shortage of houses
all over the town, especially of
'residences of the better type.
Landlords are not rising to
the situation. They fear a re
duction of rents and prefer to
continue to receive their pres
ent returns from investments
already made.
And so people are building
homes. Out on West Church
street new residences have
been built that are an asset to
the city, adding no little to its
attractiveness and charm. And
now on West Main beyond Elm
pretty bungalows of the mod
ern convenient type are rising
from the vacant lots in rapid
succession.
This undoubtedly is the best
solution of our housing prob
lem the building of homes by
people who expect to live in
them themselves. There's a
difference, somehow, all the
way through, in the homes that
are built to sell or rent and
homes that are built to live in.
But in Bpite of the' number of
homes that have been built and
are being built, the number js
nothing like it would be if all
could build who would like to
build.
' The most effective agency
for fostering the home building
movement in Elizabeth City is
the Albemarle Building and
Loan Association! Here is an
association that deserves the
support of every man who has
the interest of Elizabeth City
at heart, whether he be wage
earner or capitalist. Any man
who can save at all, any man
who has any funds at all to in
vest, should consider carefully
the advantages of investment
in the Building and Loan As
sociation. From a standpoint
of safety and of return on in-
.vestment, shares in the build
ing and loan offer the investor
every reasonable inducement.
And when he puts his money in
building and loan shares he has
the additional satisfaction of
.knowing that he is helping to
Jbuild a better and bigger Eliz
abeth City.
The Albemarle Building and
Loan Association lends the
money that is put into its hands
to homebuilders. The Ad-i
vance understands that at just
.this time the applications for
Joans are running far beyond
the resources of the associa
tion. This means that many
people who want to build
.homes and who could give sat
isfactory security to assure the
Association against loss on the
,capital that they require can
jiot build them. For banks do
Jlot lend money on the building
,&nd loan basis.

ation of its readers and hopes
that the general response of
the people to the opportunity
to secure shares in the Albe

records and go far beyond the
expectations of the association's
officers and board of directors.
' Elizabeth City Tomorrow
We are living in the day of
the big cities; but tomorrow
may be the day of the small
town, the day of Elizabeth
City.
For the big cities are getting
too big, and the problem of
feeding and giving police pro
tection and transportation to
their populations is becoming
yearly more complex.
The day may be just around
the corner when the more pros
perous folks who live in the big
cities may prefer to live in the
nearby small town.
And the day may be just as
near when factories and indus
trial enterprises may favor the
small town site, figuring that
the saving in labor turnover.
in overhead, in taxes and in
expensive sites will more than
compensate for the removal
from the advantages of great
centers of population.
In present and past 'time
Elizabeth City's nearness to a
big city has worked more to
its disadvantage than to its
i i
advantage. in the new
day just around the cor
XT 11
ner rsorioixs nearness may
be the main reason for a rapid
growth here in population, in
properity and in material re
sources. The beginning of the new
day may be as nrar us as the
completion of the system of
hard surfaced roads now un
der contemplation for this sec
tion of North Carolina.
