MONTPELIER, VT, WEDNESDAY, APRIL TO-


mp capital of fifty thousand dollars and
special guarantee fund accumulated which
amounts at this time to about twelve thou
sand dollars. While the control of the
company is in the hands of well-known resi-
dents of Vermont, it relies exclusively on
western security in the matter of invest
ment, and makes no loan which the mana
gers can not ascertain by personal investi-
CATION to be secured beyond all question.
Safety has been the first consideration.
With this end in view the company will
guarantee the payment of six, and in many
cases seven, per cent interest to purchasers
of its securities, believing that this is all
that the safest line of investments and con-
servative management will warrant. The
Farmers Trust Company has negotiated
about six hundred loans, secured on real
estate. In each case investors have received
their interest promptly and the principal at
maturity. The company has acquired no
land by foreclosure. These are facts which
investors are invited to investigate. Loans
are constantly on hand from two hundred
dollars and upwards and are for sale at the
office in Montpelier, VT Correspond with
F. A. Dwinell, president, or George w.
Wing, treasurer.
