LOAN BUSINESS GOOD
Eeal-Estate Men Find Profit in Loar
Ing on MORTGAGES.


With summer g heat has come the
summer slackness in the real-estate
market. Small transactions are being
made all the time, but large deals are
not being registered as frequently as
in the spring. The mortgage-loan bust
ness, however, is active. Some Of the
loans are to replace amounts that are
due, some are being placed to improve
property. and other loans are increases
on the old amounts to take care of ad-
ditions and betterments. e
The rates run from AZ to 6 per cent.
The. best business loans are often taken
as low as the bottom rate. The rate
advances until residence property is
reached, when 6 per cent is the aver
age maximum. The loan business is 50
active that real-estate men who have
made a specially of the mortgage bust
ness find it a profitable department of
