St Joseph Reminds Us: Keep a Clean House and Price It Right
Whether it is truth or superstition doesn't matter; the fact is that statues of St. Joseph are hot commodities for worried home owners hoping to sell their houses quickly. Roman Inc., a Chicago-based company, has produced St. Joseph home-sale kits since 1996. Complete with a statue and a prayer card, the kit consistently ranks among its top-selling products. Most commonly, the Statue is placed in a protective cloth or bag and buried upside down in the front yard. Home sellers bury St. Joseph in various locations, or sometimes simply place the statue in a cupboard or somewhere else in the home. The accompanying statue instructions suggest that the home should also be cleaned, in good repair and properly priced. |
