May 35, 1822 THE CITIZEN Par Three THE LOCATION OF Pin Is ideal and desirable for home sites. It is situated on a beautiful elevation just outside the city limits, where you will have NO CITY TAX to pay and within easy walking distance of the schools, churches and business district of Berea. CANFIELDS SPLENDID SYSTEM OF BUS LINES pass this place at frequent intervals, enabling you to go into Berea, Richmond or Lexington for less money than you could go in your own car. A Street Scene Ten days before this picture was made this was a plain, rather unsightly field. Today nice broad streets are graded through with shade and orna mental trees set, and you will agree when you sec it that the lots arc beautiful. Our California Bungalows lend ad ditional beauty to this sub division and we believe they will appeal to you. California Bungalows Four lovely California B"uo galows are nearing completion in this new addition with many more contemplating building real soon. Come out and look, them through any time. You will be sur prised.to see how attractive they are from the outside and how-convenient they are inside.

Fost yourself and you wilt find that in towna which hava Build ing and Loan Anoriationa they are regarded with more favor and of greater benefit to the poorer class of people than, are the banks.. The association enables many poor salaried men to own homes by paying for them in small weekly or month, ly payments, who never could, if they wanted to, pay cash. Let the business people of Bera busy themselves and organize one of these institutions and see Berea grow with renewed vigor as well as help those who reed it in tha Impor. tant question of home owning.

W. R. Reynolds, County Agent for Jackson county, and many of tha enterprising citizens of McKee and vicinity hava worked faithfully on the project of opening up McKee to the outside world. Jackson county part of the money was pledged before tha quota of the State and Madison county had been pleoged. And now Judge Goodloe and the citiiene of Berea and other parts of tha county have gone on record for the road. Thru tha earnest cooperation of the citizens of Jackson and Madison counties, we may look forward to enjoying an automobile journey to McKee. Sometimes those of us who have lived on automobile roads most of our lives have become hardened to the advantages they offer. We sometimes take it for granted that a good road belongs to us, and all we have to do is to ride upon it But good roads thru out the United States have coma thru hard work, thru faithfully pursuing the fight, and when once the road has been secured, money could not buy it from tha citizens. Good roads make for the comfort, prosperity, and happiness of the citizenry. But the road to McKee is not yet an actuality. It is only on paper, and unless the patriotism of every citizen is displayed in this matter the road may be lost yet. Berea baa a forward-looking population, and we confidently believe that this new road will mean more to our vicinity than any single project that has come this way in recent years.
