Stability of the Mortgage

One of the greatest hindrances or
drawba to any country is the
mortgage system of doing business.
1t brings about business depressions,

that does business strictly on a
cash basis and we will show you a
community or county that is pros
porous. A mortgage is the hardest
thing to get rid Of mortal man ever
encountered. High water never
washes it away. 1t may uproot

down into the next state, but when

the next county, but when the blow
is over it is always found that not
even the corner of the mortgage has
been Jared. Thieves do not come
in and steal it; the sun does not
warp it, and 1t does not wander off

from a mortgage is indeed lucky
