A Message to the Man with a Family
Your Only Real Security:
A Home of Your Own
Nothing else you can buy with your money lasts so long, serves so well,
gives so much value year in, year out, as your own home. It is at once the
badge of solid citizenship and the mark of a man who is striving to pro-
vide security for his family.
Where else can you put your money, the fruits of your labor,
how else can you provide so much comfort, happiness and security
for your family and yourself, than in a home of your own?
The house you buy today provides . shelter and a good life for youi
family now; and as you pay for it, month by month, it helps you build
a solid financial future for yourself. Of all the things you can buy, only
a home retains its real worth—twenty, thirty, forty years fmm now it will
still give you safe, secure shelter. All that this home actually costs you
is the down payment; your monthly payments are both rent and savings.
Yes, your only real security is a home of your own* Stocks may
depreciate, bonds may be defaulted, even savings accounts may be
depleted, but so long as your home stands, it is shelter, it is se-
curity,, it is stability, for you and your family.
Fortunate, indeed, is the man who owns his home, rt gives purpose to
your family life. Come war or inflation, your savings invested m a home
always yield their full measure of value in shelter, comfort and satisfac-
tion. Should hard times come some day, your savings might be dissipate
while your home still stands as a haven. We learned during the depression
of the thirties that it is neither wise, profitable nor necessary to take an
honest man’s home from him. We learned that there are measures that can
be taken to help a man hold his home. This lesson our country will never
forge ^ Wesged Amexica of ours, more people own their homes than
in any land on earth. They are better homes—far, far better than
the people of any other country may aspire to.
And our homes are getting better all the time. Now that material an
labor shortages are practically over ,you may confidently expect to find
this year the greatest home values ever seen in this country.
Like everything else, houses cost more than they did ten years
ago. Yet such is the progress of the building industry that more peo-
ple can afford to own a home today than ever before.
The home building industry of this country is constantly increasing
the value of its produet and reducing its costs so that the benefits of home
ownership may be extended to more families than ever before. In thousands
of communities in this country, you can now buy a home for no greater
monthly cost than your weekly pay check.
Remember: A home is more, much more, than bricks and mortar,
nails and lumber. It is your sure investment in your family’s happi-
ness and welfare.
In this insecure world, a home of your own is the only bulwark you can
erect against the forces that threaten the security of your family.—Building
