Because wishing will get no one anywhere. So it is that the “Wisher” is always and forevermore a “Wisher!” You know him and his class—“Oh, I wish I had a decent place to live,” or “Iwish I had a home,” or “I wish I could get a farm.” Well, the only way he'll ever et it is by going after it. ,%.nd we say to YOU now-— that if you want a house, lot, farm, or ANYTHING, don’t be a “Wisher,” but go and get it—go after it! Profit by the experience of the “Wisher” who never gets anywhere or accomplishes anything. If YOU want a home go get it. And, listen, the easiest, safest and best way to proceed is to turn RIGHT NOW to the Real Estate columns of THE BEE and scan the offerings. There awaiting you. you will find many opportunities ! P -~
