FOR EXCHANGE.
An opportunity to get a 10
per cent investment.
Why not convert your
dwelling house or vacant
property into something
that will pay you 10% or
12% net. We represent a |
number of apartment houses
that can be traded. The
owners will trade the equity
in them subject to a rea
sonable mortgage and take
clear dwellings and lots as
payment. There are many .
persons owning dwelling *
houses valued at from $6,- ?
000 to $20,000 who do not
receive over 4% or 5% from
the rentals. These houses
may be very desirable as
homes for the owners, but
when it comes to renting
them they do not pay at all.
W7e will give you an oppor
tunity to convert such hold
ings into equities that will
pay you 10% and 12%.

Better Than a Government Bond
As Safe as a Mational Bank. ?
Equal to the Best Life Insuranca
It is a well known and established fact that an investment in Real Estate
made in years past has proven a better investment than stock or bonds of
wild cat companies, or any other speculative proposition, and with the pros
perous times promised (with every prospect of fulfillment) what could be a
better investment than something along the following lines:
SUPPOSE a man should make the following proposition to you:
THAT he would sell you a fine building lot. in absolutely the most beauti
ful suburb near the city of Washington, D. C., for two hundred and fifty dol
lars (and well worth the money today) for ten dollars cash and ten dollars
monthly, and when at the end of twenty-five months he gives you a deed to
the lot you have paid for, he promises to return to you within five years from
date of your first payment the two hundred and fifty dollars with six per cent
interest payable semi-annually and you keep the lot that has been deeded to
you. And if you should die before completing your payments the money you
have paid in with interest, together with the lot, will be given to your lawful
heirs.
FURTHERMORE; That promise to return the money is secured by a
deed of trust to the United States Trust Co., Trustee, on over three hundred
thousand dollars' worth of property, the title of which is guaranteed by the
Maryland Real Estate Title Co.
Send to us for a pamphlet pertaining to our plan, at the same time make
an engagement to go out to our property in one of our automobiles, and we
would be pleased to take one or two of your friends along.
