A Building Pays

Adeline M. Conner, delightful lumber poetess, of Sacramento, California, rread in one of our recent issues the editorial line, "A useful building does not cost-it pays" and with that for an inspiration she wrote the following delightful little poem A Building Pays

You say a useful building COSTS?

You're wrong, my friend, it PAYS; It's bringing values back to you As speed the fleet-winged days.

The rustic shed that guards your tools, That shelter for your car, Are paying dividends to you On stocks they keep at par.

A building? Why a building PAYS !

That's what a building's for.

When storm clouds sweep the sullen skies, And nature's forces war, So a building fronts the stormy blast Protecting things you prize

Until the sunlight beams again From blue, unclouded skies.

Now, what you owe a building, friend, You never can repay; A nifty kennel for the pup, A barn crammed full of hay, An office, store, or neat garage, Of each and all 'tis true, Through every hour, both day and night Your buildings WORK for you.

A HOME that shelters those you love? A HOME will PAY and PAY.

, Oh, bring to it your gratitude, And cherish it each day.

It PAYS rich dividends indeed, Of peace, and health, and pride, You'll never know how HOME can PAY, Until its joys You've tried.

-Adeline M. Conner.
