Were you aware that there wras never a better time to
make money than at the present time? Values are at
rock bottom If you have real estate' on which you
can obtain a FARM LOAN it would be very wise for
you to do so Money will probably be very tight for at
least a year and perhaps longer A farm loan on your
land will enable you to have funds to buy at bottom
prices We can get your loans through for you with
the least possible delay Come in and talk the matter
over This is perhaps about the only way to
money at this time
