Aug. 17 -- will be baseball night at the White Sox park. • Notes: I don't have very much in the news department this week -- probably because I didn't stay home long enough to check up and get any newsy tid-bits. I did make two trips to the county fair, however. On Thursday I went to see the queen contest. Naturally, I hoped our Wonder Lake entry, Leigh Perry, would win but it just didn't go that way. I thirjk she deserves a bi&*liand eas-7179 anyway for placing fourth in a field of eleven girls. On Sunday we went to tsee the harness races. I love tnem and I wouldn't want the crime commission to get wind of it but I lost a dollar and a half to my better half betting on the wrong ones. I guess I just wasn't ever meant to make my fortune in the rackets. At 25 cents a race (on paper) a guy could go broke in thirty or forty years. I'll have to mend my ways.

Elm St. Across from the Jewel PHONE 385-4646 Home Owner's A Public Service Column by Ladd Enterprises "Do you ifouild homes on someone else's lot?" someone asked us last weekend when they stopped by our booth at the county fair. Our sales representative assured him we certainly do build on private lots as well as in our planned developments. "Is there any allowance on the prices of your homes under these circumstances?" he continued. Our salesman was glad to answer that query: "Yes." Ladd's is glad to build any of its model homes on your lot. The amount of allowance varies but we figure $2,500 as a base amount. Of course, we study the lot for drainage and grade. We must learn the location of sewer and water. If the lot has a low spot, we have to figure in the cost of filling it in. But the point is: We are glad to build on lots outside a Ladd development and customers have an allowance for this arrangement. Remember, you have the benefit of the experience engineering department to help, both with the way you build your home and the way you adapt your favorite Ladd model to your land. Ladd's experience is broad -- we have our own engineering and architectural staffs. Ladd's also builds apartment buildings, dormitories, and commercial buildings -- as well as homes in all price ranges. At Coventry, you can see model homes ranging from $17,400 to $25,300. At Clermont, our model homes are priced at $18,300 to $19,800. But at Lincolnshire -- an award-winning development -- Ladd-built homes are valued at $75,000. The point is this: Whether you build on your own lot or build or buy in any Ladd development, you receive the most value available for your dollar. : You can see for yourself by visiting Ladd model homes now open -- from 10 a.m. to dark every day except Wednesday at Clermont and the same hours every day except Tuesday at Mills! roam. To sec model homes at Clermont in Woodstock visit the site on Illinois Route 47 north -- or call Tom Brink, sales representative, at 338-5431.
