There are reasons for this. 1 can close a loan for you in three clays after taking your application, for these reasons: You do not have to wait and pay for a man to examine the land. My company has oceans of money. You do not wait for them to sell your loan in New York or London before getting the cash. You can Pay Off at Any Time, without giving a day's notice of your inten tion so to do. All other companies require from 30 to 60 days notice on this (joint. I have so many different plans for making loans that some one is bound to suit. No one can give better rates. J. H. BAILEY, Red Cloud.
