not disclosed, but Mr. Cranford tok
the Herald that they were sold 01
"good easy terms, at a very loa
price."
Before selling the homes to tht
help, the former "owners repaired
and painted all the houses, putting
them Into first class condition, s?
that the buyers would not have t?
spend- money on them while the]
were -being paid for. In painting thi
houses, the painters departed fron
the eld conventional method 01
painting the bouses all one color
and the houses new appear as thi
owners wish, presenting an array o
coclrs.
In selling the houses to the form
er renters, the Cora Company becomes
one of the leaders in a reveh
tiouary movement. The movemen
began among Southern cotton mam
facturers a few months ago, -witl
several leading textile firms he.plni
their employees become home owners
