In New York the proportion is ELEVEN—in Boston it is SEVENTEEN. In no other big American city is the proportion of home owners so great as in Seattle—and it speaks well. It shows Seattle has sound underpinning—marked prosperity—decent Living conditions—satisfactory Working’ conditions. Seattle is growing tremendously, but there are no CONGESTED DISTRICTS in Seattle. Land is PLENTIFUL, and there’s ROOM FOR EXPANSION. Compared with other big cities, BUILDING-LOTS are CHEAP, and HOUSE-RENTS are not high. A HOME in Seattle usually means a HOUSE, a YARD, and GARDEN, Daylight, Pure Air, and Wholesome Sur- roundings. The WORKINGMAN, or salaried employe, who wants a home of his own is a good man for a town, and a good man for HIMSELF. Seattle has room for THOUSANDS of men of this thrifty type. Competent mechanics and workers do as well in Seattle as anywhere on EARTH—it’s a case of NURSING THE JOB—and LAYING AWAY a little. Soon they graduate out of the “renting” class—and become HOME-owners! So can YOU!
