This personal experience in and
knowledge of Chicago property and
building values has enabled us to per-
sonally supervise and train corps of
able men in the selection of the best
properties on which to make bond
issues, so we may recommend them
not only to those who are as well
posted on values as we are, but also
to those who depend entirely on our
house to advise them correctly in their
investment matters.
Considering the growth of this city
and from personal experience and OBJ
servation of increase in values as
above related, we firmly believe there
is no safer investment than mortgages
and bonds secured by well located and
improved Chicago real estate. As evi.
dence of this fact we point to the fact
that we put our own money into these
bonds first, but only after carefully
considering every feature that will
properly secure the bonds, including
the Guaranty Policy and Trusteeship
of The Chicago Title & Trust Com
pany.
Those not residing in Chicago can
depend upon our selections of bonds

to leave the matter to us. This is truly
"A House Service" Every possible
