The Indian of early America did this in the long ago. The Gypsy stiU does it. Arab, Indian and Gypsy are wanderers, i Theif civilization or their lack of it is due to the fact that they move from place to place. The man who rents a house though his civiljzation is far above the Arabs, the Indians and (he Gypsies is a wanderer. He makes friends in his immedi ate neighborhood forms ties then moves away and breaks them. Often the moving is not of his making, nor of his wishing. But the fact that he must move is the main thing. And like the Arab, the Indian and the Gypsy, he leaves and goes among strangers. The man who owns his home is secure. He is settled. His neighborhood knows him because he is a part of it. The pride that comes from ownership makes him work for the betterment of that neighborhood and makes him a better citizen. Over him hangs no dread of being compelled to move because someone, wiser than himself, has bought the rented house. Buy the Home you live in. Philadelphia is known as the "City of Homes" the place where over half the inhabitants own the home in which they live. Own yoursl Don't be an Arab, an Indian or a Gypsy!
