grounds for the animosity Of Delta coun-

which the Delta county people maintain

CERTAINTY OF CON TRACT.
The loan plan offered by The Fidelity Is
that of paying off a loan by easy monthly
payments. The contract is definite and GER
tain. By its terms it cannot run beyond the
time fixed, but stock particip pates in earning
and may mature sooner. 1t is not loan
upon the building loan plan as usually pre-
sented by associations. 1t differs from
such plan, in that:
No fines are charged the borrower. =.
No commission charged the borrower.
The maximum number of payments re-
CURED to pay Oft is stipulated in the note.
The sum required to pay off and cancel a
loan, or any part of it, is stipulated in the
note for each period.
Certainty and monthly payment plan is
an advantage to the borrower. The debt
can be paid off before maturity without PEN
atty. The borrower by easy payments gets
out of debt. Straight loans for a term of
years are too often renewed.
Our rates are low and loans
made on definite plan. Our office
