Ancient Philosophers, and ev€n some modern, have pictured Opportunity as an old Man declining in years. They believed and taught that opportunity passed, but once in a lifetime. To refrain from accepting it at his particular favored time meant that your chances for making good were lost forever.
Today we know better. Experience nas taught that opportunity starts from the time we enter school and is ever ready to lend a helping hand to all who are determined, who are ready to apply consistent efforts and who really are desirous of making good.
Here the Artist is featuring opportunity as a Beautiful Woman whose message of appeal commands consideration. She is showing the way to happiness, contentment, protection and ideal environments, advising all to leave congested districts, high rents, etc,, and join the army of new homeowners who are accepting the opportunities for home ownership that are offered today.
