How It Happened!” Like most young men, I wanted to build a fortune but didn’t know how to begin, Finally a friend said to me one day: “Now is the time to buy Real Estate.” Bing- I replied that 1 didn’t have sufficient capital to buy even a vacant lot. He showed me some of the “Real Fstate” Ads. in the SUNDAY WORLD, pointing out ) several properties worth $4,000 to, $10,000 that could be bought on a first cash payment of $500. I raised the necessary $500 and bought a place I lived fn, rent free, for one year and then resold at a $1,000 profit. '§ FROM ROROKEN 10 THE 141H ST.
