On the Best Terms Offered
by any Company.

We are prepared to make loans on
improved farms for a term of ten years,
with interest payable annually. We
will give the borrowerer the privilege
of making a payment of as much as
one-ffth of the principal at any time
each year, thereby stopping the inter
est on the amount paid. By this
method the borrower is enabled to pay
off the full amount Of the loan In i've
years. TIE privilege to pay one-ffth
each year is optional with the borrow
er. He can, if he chooses, keep the
loan for the full time. No extra charge
for this privilege. which enables the
farmer to be out of debt in five years if
he chooses. Should the borrower con-
Guide to pay only one-tenth of his loan
each year, he would then be out of
debt at the end of ten years. As most
borrowers pay the agent commission
for their loans, it is very easy to see
the advantage of the above plan. It
enables the farmer to save the expens-
es of making new loaE every three
or five years. Our mortgages have no
gold clause.
If you want loan, Investigate our
plan before going elsewhere. Address
