WHAT is AMORTIZATION?
The Method of Providing for the Re-
payment of a Loan


Every now and then the plain man
who has saved little money and
wants to invest it so that he will get
reasonable and safe return runs
against a nest of terms which are be-
wildering and all but meaningless. Pm
afraid he usually passes by without
taking the trouble to understand them
Take the word "amortization."
hold that it's no shame TO any man
not to know what that word means.
And vet to investors the word is highly
important.
Amortization" means simply the
method of providing for the repayment
of loan. Ii you lend me $4,000,
which ] promise to repay in ten years,
you have right to be interested in
my plans for meeting the demand for
the $4,000 which you expect to make
upon me ten years hence.
SO I,say to you;
Il am going to amortize that $40 900
debt in this way: Out of my earnings
every year I'm going to set aside $500.
Each year I will set the 5000 to work
earning something too At the end of
ten years the fund will amount to Just
enough to discharge my debt"
You win find that specialists in
bonds use the word a great deal They
know better than anybody else its i'm
portance. They realize that borrower
of money for long term of years is
very apt to forget to make provision for
repayment.
Certain lenders of money on long
terms insist upon the borrowers taking
out life insurance policy big enough
to meet the debt in case of death before
the debt becomes due. Generally the
longer debt has to run the more i'm
portant becomes the question of "amor-
