THE REASONS WHY

A Deposit in The Knox Building C
Loan Company is absolutely safe.
Il. Every dollar paid to the Com
pany is invested in First Mortgage on
real estate in Knox county.
2. Every mortgage is protected by
an Insurance Policy which pays the
loan in case of fire,
3. Payment are made on loans ev-
cry month and the security therefore
grows better as the loan grows older.
4. Our loans are all open to the
public inspection as every mortgage is
on record at the. Recorders Office.
5. Our business is under State Sup.
ervision and State Inspectors examine
everything in connection with the
Company at least once a year.
6. We make no loans on personal
security of any kind, thus avoiding all
dangers of loss.
z. We loan our money at six pei
cent preferring safety of investment
rather than a high rate of interest.
8. We make no loans without a
careful inspection of the property by
our Appraising Committee.
