THE PACIFIC
loan & SECURITY BANK,

FENTHE FREQUENT applications made to
the undersigned by persons of moderate
means, to put out upon securities at interest,
sums too small to make it an object to the
borrowar, have induced them to adopt plan
by which money can in any sum bring to the
possessor a rate of interes equal to that
claimed by larger Capitalists, and secured in
the most convenient and ample manner. 1t is
by the combination of large sums in one Loan,
and secured by one security, so that each de-
positor-no matter how small his amount
may receive the income to which his money is
entitled, and that, too, in such as will combine
in his possession both the evidence of money
loaned and the use of money deposited.
Money, in case or gold dust, will be received
on Deposit in sums of ten dollars and upwards
for which certificates Of deposit will be issued,
bearing date the first or fifteenth of the month,
payable on demand, or at specified times, at
the option of the depostors. If payable on
demand, they will be without interest, unless
the money remain on deposit one month, in
which case they vii draw interest of one per
cent per month, but no interest for fractional
parts of month If deposited for specified
times, certificates will be issued bearing one
and half per cent. per month interest for
such time. Interest will cease at maturity !;
so that if depositors desire to continue their
deposites after their certifcatesfall due. they
must be presented for payment and renewal
otherwise interest ceases.
The advantages not hitherto supplied to de-
postiors, and which we present by this institu-
ton, are:
SECURITY, con VE.N1ENCE IND
SIMPLICITY.
The money deposited is used only in loans
guaranteed by us, and in all cases amply Sc
cured by mortg lges, state, county and city
stocks. merchandise and other safe collaterals,
taken in the name Of MARRIOTT & WHEEL
Err, Trustees for depositors with Pacific Loan
and Secretary b NIX which fact, added to an
experience of Ave years in this city, in all
branches of the business connected with loans
upon real estate or the investigation of titles
to property, will present this as the best saw
ings' bank to the frugal and Industrious
A register is kept at all times open to de-
positors for inspection, in which appear their
names, the number of certificates of deposit
issued, and the securities upon which the
money deposited has been placed.
Our certificates are issued in the sum of
ten dollars, and one hundred dollars, and in
such other convenient amounts as may become
at all times available so the holder and in this
convenient shape become at all times available
as cash, to the holder, and are only issued to
the amount of, and are represented by, the
actual cash or gold dust. deposited with US.
