UNIT LOAN CO.
A Trustee System
INVESTORS, whether in large or small sums, will do well to investigate our system.
We make real estate loans on high-class improved property. The mortgages are drawn
to a Trustee (some bank or trusl company), who issues certificate of Units in denomina
tions of $10 each. These Units become a part of the mortgage, bear interest at a current
i rate, mature according to the terms of the mortgage and are sold to the public.
Our System Helps the "Saving" Class
It gives greater security and a greater earning capacity than any other system of saving.
Our System Helps the Home
Building Class
Making it possible for them to acquire a home of their own with a small payment in the
beginning or to those buying Units we will, if desired, give a contract that when they
have accumulated in Units an amount equal to 10 per cent of the home they wish to buy
or build, we will accept said Units as their first payment and build a house like they want,
