YOUR
CASTLE
“What doth it profit a man if he hath seen the castles
of many kinkdoms and hath not a cottage of his own.”

Dr. L. D. Richards
A MAN’S home is his castle. Instead of paying
rent to a landlord—be the owner—own your own
home and pay rent to your seif. A real profit-shar-
ing investment—isn’t owning your home? Build a
palace of your own.
