Safety, Convenience and Profit in the Nation’s Capital OTH large and small investors have much to gain by using our Investment Savings Plan for buy- ing 64% and 7% First Mortgage Investments. Under this plan, large investors, who usually wait until they have an even amount such as $1,000, $2,000 or $5,000, can avoid loss of income by getting 614 % or 7% on an odd amount, such as $300, $1,250 or $3,875. Small investors, on the other hand, can get 614% or 7% on any partial payment of $10 or more. In neither case is it necessary to make regular monthly payments if it is more convenient for the purchaser to pay at longer intervals. Ten months are allowed for the purchase to be com- pleted, after a first payment of 10%. We give A MONEY BACK GUAR- ANTEE of principal and savings bank interest should the purchaser, for any reason whatsoever, be unable to com- plete the payments, The SAFETY of our First Mortgage Investments is proven by our record of no loss to any investor in 50 years. Their CONVENIENCE is proven by our Investment Savings Plan, by a choice of maturities from 2 to 15 years, and by denominations of $100, $500 and $1,000. Their PROFIT is proven by the interest rates of 614% and 7%, and by the State and Federal tax-free features.

A “Fool Market Steadies” by Theodore Williams HE suppEN death of President Harding furnished the bears in the urities market with no valid ammunit The change of personnel in the executive office was offset by the promise of no change in the policy of the Administration. The new incum- bent having the country’s confidence, there appeared absolutely no reason, political or economic, for disturbance of values on the exchanges. But neither were there such reasons in many in- stances when prices broke on mere rumors and vague distrust. The sane contingent in the financial district was glad to find that quotations held their own. The “fool market,” as a prominent financier aptly termed it, seemingly began to mend when the flags went half-mast. But the market only partially _re- erted itself for the time — being.
