First of all, SOMETHING USE- LESS, or at least something that represents pure luxury, to prove that it is really a Christmas present. Don’t be like the old farmer, Homer Davenport’s neighbor, who, with his four sons, got up a little Christmas fund of $1.75, and bought mother a new axe to chop firewood. After you have given your more or less USELESS present, think of some- thing that will LAST FOREVER, grow . MORE valuable every year, while other préesents grow less valuable, There is a present that will enable the one who receives it to buy presents for himself, through all the years with the income from the original present. Give a well chosen piece of real estate. .Real estate is part of the EARTH. It remains as long as the earth lasts and the records stand. ‘The hard diamond, the ornament of solid gold, may last through gener- ations, or a thief may carry them away, fire may destroy them tomorrow. The thief cannot carry away a cor- . ner lot, or the building on it, and a good insurance policy defies fire. Some day, you may say, even this earth will pass, and the finest corner lot will be worth nothing. Yes, but that will be millions of years hence, and it need not worry you. While YOU live, and your great, great, great, grandchildren live, a good pigece of land will be a permanent pos- session, always there, always increas- ing in value. & Greater POPULATION means greater land values. Ask the earnest single-taxer about that. HE KNOWS. If you buy in the city, increasing crowds that throng the streets fin- crease your land’s value. 1f you buy in the suburbs, or farther out, every invention, every improve- ment that facilitates traffic adds to the value of your land. And WHEREVER YOU BUY, . EVERY BABY BORN means that your land is worth more, Buying land changed the Astor fam- ily, the Goelets and others of New Yotk from people of modest mearns to (Reprinted from The Times of Dec. 16.) families worth tens of miliiana. giving an excellent imitation of the lily that toils not. It was MORE BABIES, and noth- ing else, that built up their real-estate fortunes. You can make a good real-¢state present for 2 MILLION dollars, or for one or two hundred dollars or less. If you have good judgment but lack large capital, you can choose a piece of land wisely, make the FIRST PAY- MENT, and give it to some one else, perhaps with your help, to CON- TINUE the payments. Such a gift would stimulate ambi- tion, develop thrift, the habit of saving, in the receiver. You cannot confer a greater boon on any young man or woman than to teach thrift, Franklin advised giving a young man a razgor, thus teaching him to save money, and time, by shaving himself instead of going to the barber. A well-chosen present of real estate, partly paid for, will teach saving on a bigger, more interesting scale than any razor could teach it. 1f paid for outright, and bought in a neighborhood oftl‘ll‘ncmulng values, such a real-estate present does more than “save time.” It carries with it eventually INDEPENDENCE, the right to do as yoy please with your time. It means freedom. Other values rise, fall, shift, vanish. Stocks and businesses go to pieces, fashions change, the man who made corsets in 1910 must manufacture canary bird cages with his wire or go out of business in 1926. Fashion in land DOESN’T change. POPULATION increases steadily, land values with it. In every city, its suburbs, and be- yond, real estate offers OPPORTU- NITY and points the way to INDE- PENDENCE. Buy real estate, take care of it, AND IT WILYL, TAKE CARE OF YOU. Give real estate, all paid for, and you give promise of future independence. Give real estate partly paid for, and you develop thrift and ambition. For a good Christmas gift, TRY REAL ESTATE. years old, retired business man, di here yesterday.
