The best people of ’ any community are, or at some time have beeh' bot-roWers. i It is only by borrowing that most people are enabled to get l ahead in the.world. Many well-to-do persons have been ’ heard to say that they never, saved money so fast as when \ they were in debt and felt its obligation resting; upon them. In borrowing money, However, care should always be l taken to know beyond the possibility of a doubt, that, the l terms of the repayment are well " within the/borrower’s f financial ability that he is not rendering himself liable for i greater payments than he can reasonably meet, and that ; in time.he. will get rid of the obligation entirely. WEEKLY OR MONTHLY PAYMENTS • > Our loans are repayable in Weekly or. Monthly inwall r ments. To the person, desirious of getting rid of Ms debt ' this is like attacking an army in detail, -and the borrower, j| instead of having one large payment to look forward to and ij worry over, has a succession of moderate weekly or month ji ly payments which can easily be met. * Series No. 52 in This Old Reliable Building and Loan As sociation Is Now Open.
