The Home Builde
the Town Builder
BACK of the development and business expansion is the main factor in sub-
stantial growth of the city-that is the home builder. He is the one that
must be taken care of in time if other activities are maintained. The
present and the future of Breckenridge poiyt strongly to the Immediate and Future
need tor more homes for those who are to cany on the varied lines of work. An
investment in a residence tot as personal koWina; or as a speculation is as wise
and profitable and as sure of substantial profits as any investment that can be
made. The one important matter for the investor is to select the locality which
oflers the grear home conveniences and the largest returns on the investment.
EAST BRECKENRIDGE

and sightly section just the right distance from the business district and the indus-
trial center. Natural drainage streets awJalleys adequate in width water school
and all needed conveniences at hand to make a home and home life comfortable
and desirable. :
