"Nsither a borrower
nor q lender be-
For loan oft loses both
itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the
edge Of husbandry."
-Shakespeare.

wyAD GOOD POLoNIUs lived in
our time, this utterance OF
- y his might indicate that he
had been a sufferer from bad invest
nents; never-t he-iess, there is an
element of truth In il that can be
applied to our day and generation.
1t takes a ripe experience to make
a borrower and a lender harmonic.
A good lender does not wish TO be
parcelled or with a poor borrower.
This is where we come in. There
are numerous things to be considered
in the application for a loan, and
we know there are two that are
most Important: the first is the Sc
curity back OF the application; the
second the ability Of the borrower TO
pay interest and ultimate principal.
These two requirements we always
insist upon. No matter how good
the security may be, IL the ability
Of the applicant to pay interest and
ultimate principal Is doubtful, we
win have nothing whatever to do
with It.
Our experience in negotiating
mortgage iOaIls mas mace us laInli-
lar with that field, and we have con-
stantly on hand applications for gilt
edge loans paying from four per
cent. to six per cent.
We place loans that do not de-
fault, and in addition draw up all
legal papers incident. thereto. under
legal supervision. and in a manner
that precludes technical possibilities.
A special point Of ours is TO be abso.
luteIy sure as to validity of bor-
rower's title.
