By Stanley Mitchell. Fourth Article of a Series—This One! | | for the Man Paying $1,000 a Year Rent. This is the fourth article ina series to show you how to escape from the clutches of the profiteer- ing landlord. Laws against profiteering are a relief but not a cure for the evil, which to-day hits every class of city dwellers, from high salaried executives to poorly paid clerks. The real solution of the prob- lem is for every one to be his own landlord. Tt you are one of the thousands in New York City who are paying $100! a month rent and are tired of having your rent boosted on every eacuse, you can move into seven large rooms and bath in a high class neighbor- hood, light on four sides, all the heat you want in winter, with a landlord whose greatest ambition is the hap- piness of your family; your rent will start at what you are now payii and will decrease as time passes until it will be nothing a year. To the average flat dweller, half frozen in winter, constantly threat- ened with increased rent or a di possess notice, such an offer sounds like a dream. It is a dream that can come true for the man who wants to own his own home, be his own landlord and yet keep the allowance for housing down to its present figure in the fam- ily budget. Having shown what can be done by the man who pays $2,000 a year rent, $1,500 a year and the $1,000 a year renter, The Evening World here pre- gents proof of what can be accom- plished by the $100 a month rent vic- tim. Where any one willing to pay $100 a month for an apartment in New York City could go and find the size and number of rooms, with luxurious surroundings, not to count the bit of grass and garden that 1s offered in the house shown here, will be @ puz- zie to «ny man or woman who has trudged about the city looking at dingy flats for which profiteers are demanding sky high rents, But it is an epportunity waiting in only one af several’fine suburbs close by Manhattan, This house is located thirty-six minutes from Grand Central Station, in the rugged hills of Westcheste: County.
