Under the Hon.re Orvners' F-inance plan the orvner of a residential property desiring repair, remodeling or additions visits the iottt"cf,r., gets 1n lstimate on the cost of the rvork, ancl signs an application for credit accommodation' This applicaiion the Lontractor sends immediately to .the g..rer"i tffi..t of the Honle Orvnets' Finance Corporation'
The loan committee of the latter, which meets every clal-, reviervs the application ancl the signer's credit record, tosether with rnatters of title, equity to secure the loan, etc', ind acts immecliately. The approval or rejection of the uaper by Home Own-ers' Finance Corporation is telephonecl io'the ctntractor, in almost every instance, within 24 hours of its receipt by the company. The fact that sttch paper is indorsed by the contractor, rvithout recourse' and lvith no liability to 6im whatever {or its payment, is one of the most unusual features'
The architects of Los Angeles have indicated great interest in this plan and express ihe belief that'thousands of nerv .un .oornrl sleeping porches and other home additions rerluiring the architect'i assistance, rvill be built in 1927.
In discussing the purpose of h.is company' Mr. Dixon stressed the facl that the company's entire resources would be devoted to the constructive work of property improvement. His company will not discount and purchase installment paper on anything not actually of benefit to the home' and #itt- under no circumstances engage in the field of discounting paper that goes to pay for merchandise classecl as luxuries.
Would like position with chance of advancement. Over five years with present employer, drawing plans, estimating and general olfice lvork. Best of references. Address Box ld-l?f]. care California Lumber Merchant. 2-15-r

It- forms a solid, impenetra, ble, yet flexible coaring which retains itsflexibiliti even when frozen. It *ili not chip or scale even when the-pipe is bent at right angles after the coating has been applied.
In test it has rvithstood even the galvanic action when submerged in salt rvater over a long period of time, dem. onstrating itself to be not only-a permanent protec. tion for pipe lines but a per. fect insulating coat as well. Just try a test for yourself. Heat some Pioneer Rubber. Tex to a liquid consistency and flow it onto a piece of sheet metal or pipe. Place the metal on ice and freeze it as long as you wish. While at this lo-w'temperature you can bend the metal or twist it as much as you please. The Rubber,Tex wili not chip nor scale. No cracks wi[l develop.
We'd like to have our.en, gineering department dis. cuss your pipe covering problems rvith you. You,il be under no obligation.
