COTTAGES ARE GREAT DEMAND FOR VACANT FIVE OR SIX ROOM HOMES
Five and six room cottages are in great demand in this city. Men coming here for work cannot find accommodation for their families. The young men are especially hard hit as hotels and boarding houses are overcrowded. Some houses could rent for 12 to 18 dollars monthly, and owners would see good returns. Many newcomers visit the Herald office seeking housing. Now is the time for Waycross to act, to build five and six room cottages.
