Owne: d Builde: i 1515 MSE NW. o D ). Main 6861 Once there was a Landlord who was truly generous of heart. He owned an apartment building that had been occupied by the same tenants for years. One day he asked them all to meet him in the lobby. When all were gath- ered he addressed them thusly: “Beloved tenants, greetings. I have called you to this meeting to make known to you that you need no longer pay rent for your apartments. “Your rent has paid for the building, plus the cost of running it, plas a goodly income for me. Therefore, I believe it is only just you now should own the build- ing, and I have deeded it to you. I have formed a corporation composed exclu- sively of you tenants, and have given stock to each of you equivalent to the value of the space you occupy and an Occupancy Agreement which gives to you, your heirs and assigns, forever, the right to the use and Occrpancy of your apartment. “The by-laws of the corporation pro- uid‘e that ‘you shall own and manage this bl:ul‘dl'ng co-operatively, and that you shall divide the cost of taxes, coal, janitor, etc. You shall elect a board of directors from among yourselves who shall have super- viston, and who shall each year estimate the cost of operation for the ensuing year and assess it against shares of stock on a monthly payment basis. The monthly cost to each of you will be so small as to be almost negligible. . “I wish you happiness and prosperity in your new ownership.” The tenants were almost overcome with joy upon learmng' of this extraordinarily generous action by their Landlord. They could scarcely believe their own ears. When they were finally con?mced_ they were not dreaming, they began to investigate the plan of ownership. Again tlny exclaimed in praise of their Landlord, this time because of the simplicity and soundness of his plan to form a corporation and create a Co- operative form of ownership. The plan succeeded perfectly, and th 1l lived happily ever afterward. g “Truly a generous Landlord, indeed,” you'll say, “but who ever heard of one doing that?” ) You are not likely to ever hear of one doing that. But you do hear of tenants owning their own buildings under the identical CO-OPERATIVE OWNERSHIP PLAN described in the fable. The tenants in the fable paid rent for years. which “paid for the building, plus the cost of running it PLUS a googdly income to the Landlord.” Our purchasers buy a new building from the builder and own it at once, and their monthly payments pay for the building, plus the cost of running it, MINUS a goodly income to any one That is one reason why we are able to sell apartments on monthly payments which are considerably less than * rental rates.
