men now that the wigmakers are
manufacturing inexpensive one
man tops.
Wigs are better than your own
hair when you get used to them.
It's great convenience to be
able to hand 1t to the bellboy in
the hotel and let him take 1t
downstairs and, comb 1t for you.
II you live at home you can part
1t before you go to bed at night
and hang 1t in the hall next to
your hat.
But most men are sensitive
about their toupees. One guy
bought some extra hair the color
of his wig and sprinkled 1t on his
coat so that his friends would
think 1t was falling out.
This same guy was mortified to
death once when he went down
to the docks to see his girl Off.
The boat started to leave and he
thought he. was tipping his hat.
but he was waving his hair.
OF course, there are several
ways of making these toupees

Answer-The Straus plan for lend

Answer-The Straus plan for lend
ing on real estate places the primary
emphasis on the earning power Of
developed properties S. w. straus
d. Co, attempt to make loans on prop
critics that are in direct line of growth
OF cities. Because they endeavor to
select exceptional properties they lend
tar larger proportion of the total
value OF the property than the old
1ashloned mortgage companies and
savings banks. Accordingly. the po-
tential or theoretical risk involved is
relatively enhanced S. WM Straus &
GO. seek to offset this by a scientific
plan of amortization by which paw
ments are made by the borrower each
month. not only for interest REQUIRE
ments but also to reduce the principal
sum through serial redemptions. Thus
the total amount of the principal sum
OF the loan is progressively lowered as
time goes on. S. ". Straus & Co. have
shown good judgment in the selection
OF properties and have a good record.
Each underwriting, however, must be
Judged on its own merits and the i'm
portant factors to consider are the
ratio of the loan to the total value Of
the property-the known earning
power and the possibilities of depreci-
alton.
