‘ THE SEATTLE DERFULLY SUCCESSFUL AT ALDERWOOD MANOR THREE WON STAR YEARS (Continued From Preceding Double Page) wood Manor. It is a common saying that what is everybody's business is nobody's duty, but every father and every mother holds a duty to himself and herself. Every young man or woman should exercise this thought in looking ahead and making provision for not only now, but for the fyture, A Real Home on Five Acres Instead of » Narrow Lot because the time is fast coming when if we don’t realize it one way we shall realige it another in having to pay the bills. : Do you ever think of the amount of produce you might obtain from a small farm, which you con- sume in your own home? Do you stop to realize that with from 500 to 1,000 White Leghorn hens you can produce an income far greater than the average man is enjoying as the result of his daily or, and even cannot tell from day to day how long that labor will last? Most of us grown-ups have lived through times of depression, yet how easily we forget. The Privilege of City Life, If You Desire Do you realize that in living at Alderwood Manor and following this form of‘life you are.not giv- ing up city life? You are within a few minutes, one might say, of the heart of Seattle and Everett. You can enjoy the privileges of city life if you wish. You can have your home at Alderwood Manor. You can still work in the city while you are building your business on your farm. Why be hemmed in on a narrow city lot? You can have five broad acres; you can keep your cow and your chickens, commencing in a modest way and advancing step by step until you have progressed far enough to let your city job go. You can have your rose garden; you can have small fruits or most any other variety of fruits that grow in this state. You can come to, Seattle in the morn- ing; you can return to Alderwood Manor in the evening by electric cars or by jitney bus. You can give to your children the great out-of-doors for their health. You can give them an environ- ment and an atmosphere of well-doing which means so much to the growing mind; associa- tion with the children of people who are just as ambitious as you; all these things for less that it costs you in the city—yes, for one-half this cost. What have you when you buy a house and lot? , Most of us have a mortgage upon it, and the usual experience in times of depression is that the mortgage falls due, and it is a strange coincidence that mortgages have a habit of falling due at the wrong time, and there is no money to meet it or the interest—result: step out. There is no time as a settler upon five acres of land in Alderwood Manor, if you gre posses~d of energy, ambition and physical ability, but that you can fortify your- self against such a condition. Ponder well oyer this fact. Now, then!

This should not be their portion in life. Shall it be yours? They were, and are, determined to be the masters of their own destiny. They saw the opportunity that under proper direction they could be led to far greater conquests over the resources of Nature and enjoy the fruits of their own labors.

People are slow to move. Most of us are not in the habit of self- analysis, but it behooves us, with present eco- nomic conditions, to think, and think hard, and act. Here is a way for every man or woman, young or old, to become the proud owner of a piece of Mother Earth; to enjoy the pleasure of owning one’s use at the Alderwood Manor Demonstration Farm Call at address below for further information, literature, etc., the Alderwood Manor District.
