Messrs Burr x Knapp of the Security Invest
 ment Co. of Bridgeport, Conn.,, advertise a
 large amount of farm mortgages made by the
 Missouri Trust Co. and the Georgia Loan and Trust Co. at and per cent These trust com panies have the reputation ot making the most conservative mortgages and we are ln- formed by Messrs Burr x Knapp that they have negotiated during the past F years over $2,500, 900 ot these mortgages and not only have | those for whom they invested never suffered any losses or foreclosures of land, but the above trust companies themselves have never | lost dollar and do not today own an acre of 1 land taken on foreclosure or otherwise in pay | ment of their mortgages. This it is claimed, | is not only q better record than any farm loan l company in the West and South, having the same number of years experience, but quite | equal to that of any New England savings bank and shows that great care is taken in I the selection of their mortgages The man | agement of these trust companies is contrOll- 1 ed by Messrs Burr & Knapp and their invest Ting patrons who own a majority Of the stock l in each and a better opportunity as thus af forded for the most thorough Knowledge o1 l the business methods of each company and the care given to the interests Of each invest or, than can in any other way be guaranteed to the purchasers of farm mortgages. We would recommend our readers having mon ey for which they desire safe and profit able investment to call on the Security In II yestnent Go. and examine the securities l which they offer They can also be obtained
 through Mir Charles H. Northrop at the New 1, town savings bank, who will be glad to furn ish any who may desire with the fullest i'll
 formation respecting the same.
