PAINT AS AN ASSET. Bankers Say They Lend Mor: Money on Property When Buildings Are Well Painted, | AN o bas One Concern Advances 28 Per Cent More if Repainting !s Done Every Five Years. Does it pay to print carefully farm buildinget . Doen it add to the sellin value of a farm when buildings are properly kept up and regularly pator ed? A careful inquiry of a number of lending binkerx In the Misxis«ipp! valtey, Including much staten an Towa, Tilt: nofa, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Mix sourt, reverts the fact that to nearly every came the bankers did. not hex tate to say thut they would tend all the way from 5 to 50 per cont, more an land where farm buildings were well | printed and kept in wood condition | They maintain that well keptip and | well ®atuted bulldings and fences are | an lndication of thrift and that the | thrifty farmer in a good cllent, and to | him money can be safely loaned. An average of the returms from thexe bankers shows that the Increased loan | vatue becaure of painted buildinge i+ | around 22 per cent, | Some of these bankers make inter [ esting: comment, A Michigen concer: saye. that, while not especially: pre pared to advise definitely in respons to this fnquiry, the officers would los | more money on farima where buildings were painted thrn where they: were | not so treated.. This bank niso findx that where boures, barns and fences are well tken care of the furm is a profitable proposition, and bankers in general consider the farmer a. good client, . Another Michigan hunk aay "farm buildings out of repair and needing paint Indicate that the owner (In slow pay." Buch farms are rated nt about one-third of the asserted value for loans, Where the furm bullding« are in good shape the rating is one half, The preident of w middle went: ern bank mays that when rent ertit« touns are considered. pintec. bulldings nre alwaya taken Into consternation i making an extimnte. The general ap pearance of the property surrounding the house and ban and also the Geldr and fences would be enrefully obmerved He further says that he has no hexitancy in saying that he would ab xolntely refuse a loan on farms where the buildings were mot kept up and well painted, In bis judgment, un: painted farm buildings would reduce the lonn value at least 26 per cent. A Minnesota banker says that be is much more willing to loan money where the buildings are well printed. In his particular cane he belteres that he would loan 20 per cent. more than if the buildings were not properly taken care of, A farmer who will keep bis buildings painted takes a much deeper Interest .n his work than one who does not. Another Minne»ota bank says that well painted bulld: Ings have resulted In securing from his bank sometimes as high as 25 per cont, more money than where the bufldings are not painted, An Ohio where buildings are printed at least once every Ave years. A southern Mit nols bank saye that It hax no fred rule about this, but it does muke a de elded difference when owners of farm lands apply for loatin. if the buildings ure well printed and thus well pre served the lorn rate would not ouly he chexper, hut the nmount of money horrewed would be larger, A northern Iiitmols bank does not hesttate to say that it would loan fully 50 per cent, where they were not. ‘The vie prowl dent, who anzwors the inquiry, goes on to eay: "There probably are many furmers good Ananclally and morally who permit their buildings to remain unpainted, but ao n rule the mont aubatential people who live in the coun« An Towa bunk, through fts vice prea: Ident, states that it would make a dif. ference of at lenst 25 ber cent. in fa. vor of the farm with painted: bulldfnga, . Another Town concern says that tt would make a difference of ut least 20 per cent. All this being true, it ts perfectly evident that ft Is a good businers prop. osition to keep the farm buildings well printed, . ‘They not only look better and are more pleasing to the owner, but the farm would sell to better ad. vantage, the loan Yahi of the property would be greatly Increased and (he buildings themselves Would (nat nich Itmger | and need les repair-The American Agriculturist.
