Neyer has be been satis- ied with just four crude walls and a roof set upon a bit of land. As bis position in life improve, bis habita- tion-bis home-is likewise irnproved. Old homes for neiv has a1lvavs been the ridle in America. The home is one of the major standards bv w~hich the state of a man 's progress a,nd achievement is judged by bis acquaintances, lWs friends and bis neighbors. The state ini which it is kept, more often tlian îîot. denotes te a marked degree his character. Next to the %velfare of bis familv. a man .s chief concern is for bis home, and one cannot help but wohi der what are the emotions man,. menî when f-hey take stock of the condition of their homes todav. Througbout tlîe land are thousands of homes tiot as attractive. rentable, salable or as valual)le as tbev once were. Due to lack. of normal care and attention, these onîce spick and span. homes have a down-at-the-heel appearance. 1Vhile the resuit of this unwanted îîeglect is serions from a materiai standpoint. tlîere is another equally serious phase of the* natter-the dis- piritiiîg effect upon the owner andl bis familv.

Maîiv homne ownîers, believing flic, are tliriftv, have a tendency to nii- stali equipmnent either too srnall or otherwvise unsuited to their needs. Dissatisfaction results. .Often' the eqluipment is altered or replaced at a cost..far greater thanl the (lifference bctweeîi' adequate an(l inadequate cquipmnent.
