Nothing Easier, If He Saves

payment plan otherwise. To begin now

Can you suggest a way In which l might
begin the purchase OF farm right away.
at monthly payments for a long period
B. z.
Answer--All you have to do to buy q
farm at the age Of forty-fve is to save
enough money in the nineteen years
intervening. About the best way is
through building and loan associa-
ton. Each 81 month saved runs into
5000 in about eleven and one-half years
If you saved $40 month for the next
eleven and a half years you would re-
ceive $4,000. If you invested that at
per cent you could pay for second
lot of twelve shares with the interest
and by the time you were forty-fve your
first $4,000, plus the credit your build
ing and loan shares then running would
afford you. would be ample to swing a
modest deal, say a $4,000 place. Do
not undertake to carry more building
and loan shares than you can expect to
go through with, and remember that
you may marry before you are forty
five. That will make your Ray envelope
look smaller. Get the lady to agree
to your savings and-farm plan before
the halter Is tied. Some of them don't
like farms.

Answer-Either Of two procedures
would fit your case admirably, we
thnk-the formation of trust Of your
you as long as you live and the prin-
cipal to go to your heirs, or the pur-
chase of an annuity with your capital,
in which case the company paying the
annuity takes the principal at your
death. At your age life insurance
company would py you $14500 q year
as long as you live for each $1,000
paid in, and the payments would be
safe and sure, in our opinion. If you
wish to leave an estate the first course
is the one to take, because it will re-
lieve you Of ell concern as to coupons
and dividends, and for one OF your
age, physical condition and inclination
to worry we think it is we'll worth the
small cost. If you can die peacefully
without leaving any estate, as your
letter indicates. the annuity is by far
the best, for the 14.5 per cent it Of
fers is much greater than you could
get from any other source. Any OF the
trust companies advertising in The
Tribune will send man to discuss a
trust with you if you will telephone
for one. If you decide on an annuity
we suggest that you consult several
insurance companies as to the rates,
which vary.

Demand for American
Watches Falling Off
Sales This Year Far Behind
Last; Call for Some Grades
Sill Exceeds SunnIy

Abatement in the demand fer high
grade American watches is being felt
by manufacturers. Business during
the first six months is considerably be-
low that for the corresponding period
year ago. Little foreign business is
being done. Although the call for sew
eral sizes and grades of watches still
is greater than the supply. manufac-
turefs experience no difficulty in sup
plying the demand for other descrip-
tons.
Reductions averaging 90 Per cent on
most grades and sizes have been made
by leading watch company, although
other companies have not, as yet, an
nounced any revision in prices. An
official of one of the leaders asserted
that no reductions are contemplated.
Extra employees who were taken on
during the halcyon period are now be-
ing weeded out by one company. Fur
ther than this, labor has not been eur
tailed
