AN OPEN LETTER TO

HYPERMETROPES
THE PAR SIGHTED.
. Your, trouble, friend, known as liypormetropia, is also
called far sight or over sight; not because you can see farther
or better than one with a normal eye, but because the focal
point of your eye is adjusted to a point abnormally distant.
Therefore itVannot be adjusted to the near point without
overstrain unless aided by lenses. The normal eve on the
contrary can be, until the. age for old sight is reached.
. - Normal eyes arc adjusted naturally to any distance;
iyours to none except beyond the far point and then only
through an abnormal strain; heffcc the designation far
sighted. - C. S. CLINTON,

Mutual Building & Loan Ass n.
OF NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA.
ASSETS $840,000.00
To Prospective Building & Loan, Borrowers;
' Non-resident Building & Loan Companies are adver
tising the fact that they havrt reduced the monthly payments
of borrowers to 31.10 per month on each $100.00 borrowed,
making the monthly payment the same as the Mutual Build
ing & Loan Association of North Platte. They fail to state
that of the $1.10 paid to the non-resident company, there is
ohly thirty-five cents credited as a principal payment, the
balance seventy-five cents being taken for interest. Of the
81. j0 monthly payment to this association on each 100.00
borrowed sixty cents is for interest and fifty cents is credited
as a principal! payment. ,
This 'difference in the amount credited the borrower
will result in the borrower in the non-resident company be
ing compelled to pay not less than $25.00 more'on each
$100.00 borrowed in order to discharge the debt than they
would if they were doing the business with this Association.
