It was the first time in two seasons of play that the little Moose heaver has connected for more than the barest of singles. Though Smith was nipped on the next play, he left Haglund set up on base, waiting for Orme’s circuit smash.

He knows that hg can borrow up to $10,000.00 to expend on improvements to his property. That he can borrow up to $2,500.00 to use in construction of auxiliary buildings, garages, etc. He knows that he can have up to five years to repay his loan—that his re-payments can be arranged in weekly, semi-monthly or monthly installments that will exactly suit his income. He knows that he can secure his loan at interest rates and financing charges that are a new low for this type of finacing. He knows that his loan will be speedily completed by one of the local loan institu- tions authorized to accept mortgages under the Federal Housing Act. He knows that he will receive his money for modernization now, when he wants it: that he may spend it on his home as he wishes, subject to the few FHA regulations; that he may buy his materials and hire his work- men where and how he wishes, without being obligated in the least way to the institution which made his loan. He knows that when he borrows he is putting local money to work, money that is made easily available to him through the loan insurance provisions of the Federal Housing Act. He knows that the work he has done on his home will benefit him and his whole community with him. Totals Moose Haglund, cf Orme, 2b McNamee, 1f Snow, 1b Martin, rf Werner, 3b Grummett, ¢ J.

Any authorized loan agency will be glad to discuss any home improvement problem with the owner. The district FHA agent is always at hand, ready to advise the prospective borrower. They will explain the advantages of the FHA Plan in simple, direct manner. They will solve each individual remodelling problem to the satisfaction of the owner. They will explain how easy it is to secure an FHA Mortgage Loan; that any property-owner or anyone having a lease ex- tending at least six months longer than the term of the loan may borrow under the FHA-Insured Mortgage Plan, if he is possessed of an assured income and a reasonable ability to repay his loan. They will explain that the loan may be used for any permanent improvements to residential, busin ess or farm property; that the loan can be completed within approximately one week from the time application is made. They will explain that the services of an architect are not required 1o secure a modernization loan, though, in the case of extensive remodelling they are advisable. They will show the home owner that never before has there existed a like opportunity to secure money for repairs to protect his home investment; easily, quickly, and at low cost. The ever-increasing popularity of the FHA Plan, the demand that led Congress to re-enact FHA legislation, amended and improved, is proof of the great advantages to the property owner of the Insured Mortgage Property Improvement Loan Plan set up under the Federal Housing Act. Build or Re- pair under the FHA Plan is the slogan of wise America today!
