fmfm? 7rJfW ... (i ADVEflTISEMKNT OLDFASHIONED HOI HOPE OF THE NATION Philadelphia Still Clings te Old Ideal of One Family Under One Reef $10,000 HOUSE FOR GIFT U. S. CeneUB figures show that cut of 390,000 dwellings in Philadel phia, 192,000 are owned by the oc cupants. ThiB is net only a "City f Hemes" but of home-ewnors. In all metropolitan cities there is inevitably a floating population that finds apartment life convenient. Heusing conditions and servant problems have vecently driven ethera into this form of dwelling, but in Philadelphia, please Heaven, the apartment will never take the place of the true, old fashioned American home the home that from the time of Penn, the Founder, meant always one family under one reef. The Philadelphia home knows none of the evils of congestion icant room, little privacy and the dangers that lurk in every communi ty where strangers are thrown by force of circumstances into contacts that are tee intimate. On the con trary, it is the home where parent hood can attain its highest ideals and the family can be reared amid sur roundings perfectly conducive te health, morality and enduring happi ness. The passing of the home would, mean the end of the American family. In many apartments children arc for bidden. High Prices Felt Keenly. Philadelphia has felt mere acutely than any ether community in America the changes wrought by the war. Other cities have had mere unem ployment, higher prices and relative ly mere congestion, but these cities have net had the background of Philadelphia te make their people feel the hardships se keenly. It will take a long time for hous ing construction te accommodate com fortably the many thousands added te the city's population in the past fw years. In the meantime rent3 and equities are still close te war levels and arc likely te remain se, by the immutable law of supply and demand. And it is net only that homes are ftarce and high. Many a family that ha? a home can no longer find the Fame pride and comfort in it. With earnings seriously diminished the inevitable economies have made dif ficult, often impossible, the replace ment of worn-out furnishings. But there is one hope of removing; the fundamental causes of the stag nation prevailing. That hope lies in the renewal of confidence, the re newal of business activity, the re newal of the old inborn American Bpirit of enterprise. And te the wom en of Philadelphia new comes a wonderful opportunity te accomplish much of this renewal, net only for themselves but for the country at large. This is an opportunity net only te help turn the wheels of trade, but te acquire, at no cost te themselves, their husbands or their families, beautiful and valuable furnishinga for their homes, while the most for tunate will get a handsome home free. All the geed housewives need de te compete for these awards is te use some discrimination in buying their table supplies and purchasa these high grade goods which carry votes in a contest conducted under the auspices of the Wholesale Grocers' Sales Company of Philadel phia.
