I T was Lincoln who said, “Let us have faith that right makes might.” To do the right thing at the right time —that is the paramount desire of every man -“To own a home of his own.” “To do our duty as we understand it,”

is an added phrase.

But how well is it applicable to the present day seeker of a home.

WASHINGTON

I T was the Father of Our Country who said

in his farewell Address—

“The love of liberty is interwoven with

every ligament of your hearts."

How well did he express the inner

thoughts of a great Nation,

of Home Builders.

And so we—here in Cape May County—pause at this lime to do honor to two of the Nation’s greatest Presidents. Their thoughts will outlive Eternity. T. S. GOSUN LUMBER CO. WILDWOOD .... NEW JERSEY
