Finance Your Home
THIS
MODERN WAY
»
Today it is needless to wait long/weary years
accumulating the entire cost of a honne before
you can build.
Now with only a modest portion of the pur
chase price, you can start construction, and,
while you enjoy the peace and security of a home
of your own, pay the balance in monthly pay
ments just like rent.
You can procure a loan from us on a
few days notice. All you have to do is
decide on the type and cost of the home
you want.
$15.00 per month will carry
a $1,000.00 loan.
Let us explain this easy financing plan
to you.
