Why A BUYERS' GUIDE?

It is customary to include a Buyers Guide in the City Directory because:

It gives business firms the opportunity to elaborate upon a description of their products and services impossible in the limited space of regular Alphabetical and Classified listings.

THE BUYERS' GUIDE IS A NECESSARY SUPPLEMENT TO THE REGULAR LISTINGS; IT IS GOOD CITY DIRECTORY INFORMATION . EXTENDED

COLLATERAL LOAN CO.

Incorporated under Special Charter of Massachusetts 1859

This Company was established by Special Charter by the Legislature of Massachusetts and placed under the supervision of the Bank Commissioner, with the in- tention of making loans on diamonds, watches, jewelry, gold, silverware, etc., at lower rates of interest than made by pawnbrokers and other money lenders on col- laterals of this description, and to afford absolute pro- tection to the borrower.

An experience of over ninety years has confirmed the wisdom of the organization, and the company con- tinues its usefulness to borrowers on this kind of personal property.
