IMPORTANT TO INYESTOR9, IMPORTANT TO FATHERS AND MOTHERS, IMPORTANT TO EVERYBODY. "TVO YOU WISH for a good Investment! Then be wise and purchase a HOUSE and SECTION. You cannot go wrong in buying land at a reasonable price, which is increasing in value, and becoming less in quantity every week. Everyone should possess a home that he can call his own, and the properties such as are now offered should not bo missed. Young man, you may feel free and independent now, but you will want to settle down. Be wise and purchase a House and Section by instalments of payment that yon will not feel the loss of. Saving leads to wealth; yet many people go on paying house rent all their lives, and are either unaware how easily they may become house owners instead of rent payers, or singularly neglectful of such opportunities as F. FERRIMAN offers. Do without luxuries for a little while, and boy ft Section and House What yon are now paying for rent will soon pay the cost of your property. No more landlords, no more rent. Anyone la active employment of any kind can save enough to pay the instalment by cutting down expenses. What many spend in cigars and beer, horse-racing and cards, would buy a House and Section. Don't hesitate because your earnings are small; make your expenses pnl a little Ims than now. Many will be ready to take It off your hands at a profit. It If an axiom In polittoal economy that should be written In letters of gold— The man who lives up to all he owns Is ill prepared for fortunes turns, But who spends less has home and health,| Long life himself, his children wealth, Like drops of water, grains of sand That make the ocean and the land; The penny saved to sovereigns grows, What poor men hope, the rich man.knows. —Baker,
