It is no disgrace to borrovv money. The best people of |i 1 I any community are, Or at some time have been borrowers, ji | It is only by borrowing that most people are enabled to get j;; | ahead in tbe world. Many well-to-do persons have been 1- | heard to say that they never saved money so fast as when li they were in debt and felt its obligation resting upon them. In borrowing money, however, care should always be f taken to know beyond the possibility of a doubt, that, the | i terms of the repayment sere well within the borrower’s 1 I financial ability that he is not rendering himself liable for ! greater payments than he can reasonably meet, and that i in time he will get rid of the obligation entirely. WEEKLY OR MONTHLY PAYMENTS Our loans are repayable in Weekly 01; Monthly install -1 ments. To the person desirious of getting rid of his debt | | this Is like attacking an army in detail, and the borrower, j j instead of having one large payment to look forward to and 1 j worry over, has a .succession of moderate weekly or month- | | ly payments which can easily be met. jj Series No. 52 in This Old Reliable Building and Loan As- j; sociation Is Now Open.
