WEST PTBENKY :: fflONES TO PROSPER AND GAIN HAPPINESS according to thought scientists, requires merely to maintain the proper attitude toward the world in general. The difficulty for many right at the start is the "proper attitude." We Jjelieve the one mqst important step for any married man or woman is to plan early the building of a good comfortable home--not a place, •eceesarily, but a home in keep­ ing with your inoome. There are hundreds of ways that a home helps one to sttatn the ends de­ sired--prosperity and happiness. It gives you prestige, it anchors you to your general plan of life, it cuts down cost of living, etc. In building of wood you can be­ gin modestly and as your wealth increses you can make additions and when the new and old are given a coat of paint it all looks new. See the point--lumber is your salvation--we've got it and the price is right.. ••There's No Place 'Like Home', WILBUR LUMBER CO.
