3 Per Cent Loans
HOME OWNERSHIP IS THE GREATEST OBJECTIVE IN LIFE
Every norma) man desires to OWN A HOME OF HIS OWN.
Our plan furnishes a method by which the man or woman of very
modest means may do so without the prohibitive high payments and!
excessive rate of interest.
By a simple plan of systematic saving for a few months—just
110 00 out of your salary on each $1,000 contract—you may OWN
THIS HOME free from debt in just 100 months—*and your monthly
payments, including interest, will be LESS THAN RENT.
But you don’t have to wait 100 months to occupy the home.
Our estimate average time is 15 months, which, based upon actual
experience, is a conservative estimate of the general average. S6 far
our contracts have actually beat this average. Under our plan contract*
will mature for a loan in a SHORTER AVERAGE TIME THAN
ANY COMPANY IN EXISTENCE.
INTEREST ONLY 3 PER CENT PER ANNUM
Consider the saving—it means that your principal and interest
can never be more than $12.13 per month per thousand, and will grow
less each year; $10 of this applies on principal.
T ou may use the loan to buy, build, improve a home or deal estate
or pay oiT a mortgage on which you are paying a higher rate of interest
Adopt Our Plan of Thrift-Don’t Pay Rent
All Your Life. Own Your Own Home
and Become Your Own Landlord
$150 PROFIT GUARANTEED ON MATURED LOAN
In the event you do not desire a loan when your contract has
matured, we guarantee to pay the holder a BONUS OR PROFIT of
$150, in addition to return of all payments made.
This attractive profit is possible from sale of matured loans, for
which there are and will always be eager buyers.
"Hie best and safest guaranteed investment ever offered, whether
you live in the city oi in the country, in Dallas or elsewhere. Whether
you wish to build or buy a home or reap the best possible returns from
your investment, you owe it to yourself to investigate our plan.
