.Mr. S. M. Thompson,
Dear Sir:—
1 never realized until a few
months ago that 1 could pur
chase and own a home so easy
until 1 accepted your offer and
purchased my home. 1 feel like
you have given me a home.
Here is wishing you a great suc
ces and I hope that you will he
able to make others see as you
did me. I was talking to a par
ty you sold a house and lot to
and he said you have it rented
out for him and that the rent
has kept up the payments, and
he has not had to make any
more payments. At the end of
the year he received from you
a credit of $360.00. Just goes to
show that the man renting is
buying the place and giving it to
someone else. You sure have
taught me a lesson. And from
now on I will certaily use my in
fluence to any home seeker to
see you and arrange to buy a
home on your easy payment
plan instead of buying rent
notes.
Yours very truly,
I). HARRISON.
