WHY NOT
We will loan you tee money that you need for
building- your house and you can return it on the
monthly payment plan a little each month. A
great many people do this with the result that in a
few years' time they own their home. You are
foolish to continue paying1 rent when you can buy
your home with your rent money. A good resi
dence property in a growing and thriving town is
always a first-class investment. Cur interest rates
are very reasonable.
Please do not forget that we write fire insurance.
