of last year.

Last year’s price. Incidentally, was exceptionally good. The receipts In the months to come not. of course, be predicted bet In view of the fact that oa May 1 the number of cases of eggs In cold storage In four of the largsat “inters of the country was 3< per tnt. lem than on the same for an averdge of the past four years. It seems logical to believe that eren if the receipts of fresh eggs do Increase faster than normal. the cold storage has plenty of room to absorb them. All in dlcatloiu arc that the prow-nl of prices will at least pre-

ar advance.”

VERY hoy or girl is entitled to live in a | home instead of merely a “house.” A home is not a home unless you OWN it. With the present-day easy financing system, as practiced in Sea Isle City by the Building and Loan Associations, to encourage home building and home ownership, there can be no reason for anyone--year around or suffi-* “ mer resident - - not owning a home. * Give your children the chance to point with pride to THEIR home; a place that will grow increasingly dear to them as they advance in age and knowledge of what home means. In later life they will always have an affectionate feeling for the “old homestead” that neither time nor distance can efface. YOU, too, will really know for the first time the real meaning of happiness when you move into that home of your own. BUILD FT NOW. Let us help you plan, finance and build a home.
