TO THOSE WHO ARE Not 'i'lielr Own Landlords. WHY Pay Bent when for a cash deposit you may become yotir own Landlord, and th?n the weekly Rental yon are at present paying would leave something evrry week to go towards reducing ihe purchase money. As an example—a house for which a tenant P'-*ye 7^ per week could in all probability be put chased fur £ICO. This, by keeping tl.v. vrnk'y jmjJh! p.id fi i llye.-rs, would leave tho property fully p»id tor ; while if a Urjatit reni ins iii tie came house to the same time without acquiring the frej? hold, and continues to pay the 7s per week rental, at ihe end of that time he will not own one foot of the timber of which the house is built.
