are secured by deeds or mortgages on homes built by this Com
pany for homes only. No dwelling is erected until it is actually
contracted for every safeguard is taken to protect shareholders
and no loans are made to speculators or on old buildings.

fettered by restraint that will keep it from being progressive and,
in its plan of protection, Home Builders is careful to look to tho
future and In every way to conserve the interests of its share
holders. A 7 per cent guaranteed dividend was declared Jan. 1st, In
addition to a substantial balance carried as a surplus fund which
Increased tho value of every Preferred Share to $1.05.
By building homes on easy payments only after contracts
have been signed "by tho purchaser. Homo Bull 'era has provided
the opportunity for many thrifty Omaha families who now own
their own homes and who have become the backbone of tho
City's new progressive spirit.
Home Builders Guarantees

Trust Companies as
Guards of Estates
Valued inJBillions
As the result ot actual statistics re
cently obtained from official sources nnd
through direct Inquiry, it has been ascer
tained that the trust companies ot the
United States are administering tho Af
fairs nnd fiunrdlng estates valued at
J7,'.'6O,O0O.0OO. This vast treasure embrnces
real estate, personal property, stocks nnd
bonds, mortgages nnd ensh funds, con
veyed to the safekeeping of trust com
panies In accordance with Instructions
under wills nnd Instruments of trust, for
tho benefit of'tielrB and legutecs. Ampng
the estates managed by trust companies
arc those of eminent jurists, financiers,
bankers, capitalists and men who bavo
left large fortunes.
The snmo care and precautions with
which tho great estates arc looked after
Is directed to the rapidly Increasing num
ber of small estates which am being
turned over to these Institutions. The
same reasons which Induce the niuu of
Inrgo means to hnvo n trust company ap
pointed as executor and administrator
of hla cstato to guard his family ngulnst
wusto or mismanagement after his dentil
appeal with equal, If not greater force, to
tho man who has only a few thousands
or the proceeds of llfo Insurance to keep
his widow and children from poverty.
There have been many important de
velopments of Into to Hhow that there In
a general awakening throughout tho
country that the trust company Is tho
only logical nnd safest custodian of c
tates and trust funds. It Is only when
some tragic circumstances nttend ii be.
traynl of trust that tho newspapers give
an Inkling of tho true conditions. Sev
eral weeks ngo the New Tork papers con
tained details of tho complete looting of
the estnto of tho lato Hoscoo Conklln by
an Individual executor. Severn! days
after this was niado public, there wero
accounts of the suicide of a prominent
citizen, who resides In ono of tho fashion-
able huburbs of Philadelphia, who had
wasted tho proceeds or numerous estate
valued at 0u,000. in Pittsburgh there
were no less than four men In prixon tit
the snmo time awaiting trial on crlniin.il
clmrges or having appropriated trum
funds for their own use,
When Biich well-known men ns the late
Chief Justice Fuller of the United Htate&
supreme court. Senator Stephen Klklnf.
Marshall Field, P. A. n. Wldejier and
many others on tho roll of the departed,
make wills In which they Instruct trust
companies to manago and preserve their
estates for the welfare of their families,
It is easy to comprehend why the tnrt
companies have peon so tiucceesful.
An exhaustive Investigation covering
trust companies In all the states during
the last fifteen years, affords the re
markable result that there have been
only three trust company failures dur
Ing that time, where trust property and
funds wero Involved. As executor and
ndmlnlstrator. tho so-caJIcd "modern
trust company" represents stability nnd
permanence. Unlike the individual nK.
editor or administrator the trust com
pany rannot abscond, cannot speculatf
with trust funds, cannot go on vacatln-i.-i
or render false accounts. The only as'
surance which an Individual gives Is n
personal bond which may prove valuel'ens
in case or bankruptcy. j
110 company, on tho other hand,
offers as protection. Its large pald-lu
capital and surplus, double liability .if
shareholders. Inrteail of only ono man or
lawyer to administer nn estute there Is a
staff of expert officers, u hoard of dlrec
tors including some of the most success
ful nnd responsible business men In ihc
community, and then thtro In legulur ex
