Kalaluhi’s Hawaiian Orchestra “How We Saved for a Home” A YOUNG COUPLE DID IT IN NINETY-FIVE YEARS (Reprinted by request) OW did we do it? Simply by going without everything we needed, When I was first married my salary was thirty dollars a month, My mother-in-law, who lived with us, decided to save enough out of my salary to build us a home. When the cellar was finished, I be- came ill and lost my position, and had to mortgage the cellar to make my first payment, Although we went without food for thirty days the -first year, we never missed a monthly payment. The taxes, interest on mortgage and monthly payment on house were now three times the amount of my earnings. However, by dispensing with the serv- ice of a doctor, we lost our father and mother-in-law, which so reduced our ex- penses that we were able to pay for the parlor floor and windows, In ten years seven of our nine chil- dren died, possibly owing to our diet of excelsior and prunes. I only mention these little things to show how we were helped in saving for a home. I wore the same overcoat for fifteen years, and was then able to build the front porch, which you see at the right of the front door. Now, at the age of eighty-seven, my wife and I feel sure we can own our comfortable little home in about ten years and live a few weeks to enjoy it. H. M. Perley. Convenience, 1:02 service - of the Pullman Company it is not only possible to secure in advance accommodations in a car never crowded beyond its normal capacity, but it is possible to enjoy, while traveling, comforts and conveniences usually associated only with the most modern hotels in larger cities. By building its own cars the Pullman Company has been able to test every innovation which might add to the convenience of its passengers. Constant ventilation, comfortable temperature, electric lights, electric fans, modern plumbing and other distinctive features of the Pullman car have been provided in spite of the difficulties arising from the natural limitations of car construction, and the fact that these conveniences must at all times be available while the car is moving from place to place. A brief comparison of the early Pullman car, with its oil lamps, coal stove and almost entire lack of conveni- ences, with the modern steel-armored sleeping or parlor car, sanitary, electrically lighted, automatically ventilated, steam-heated and supplied with every comfort and con- venience that ingenuity can devise, testifies to the progress which has been made by the Pullman Company in fifty years of continuous service to the traveling public. inquire if he was thinking of buying shirts or pajamas. “Gosh, no!” replied the fat man wist- fully. “The only thing that fits me ready-made is a handkerchief.” —Harper’s Mapazine.
