For Savings and Home Financing See Old Colony First

Profitable Savings Plans

Old Colony Monthly Payment Shares help you build up funds for retirement, the down-pay- ment on a home, college expenses for your children, or any worth- while purpose. You may buy any number of shares you please. Even small amounts grow rapidly; for example - $5. per month to $1000. - $10. per month to $2000., etc.

Old Colony Savings Shares enable you to save what you can when you can. You may open a Savings Share Account with as little as $5. It's the easy way to accumulate cash for such yearly expenses as taxes, fuel bills, in- surance premiums, and other lump-sum payments.

All Shares earn liberal dividends compounded semi- annually.

Low Cost Home Financing

When you buy a home, just make a reasonable down-pay- ment-then repay your 12-Point Mortgage monthly, like rent. With liberal loan periods from 10 to 20 years you can choose a repayment schedule to fit your budget. The low interest rate is reduced by 1/2% three times during the term of the loan.

When you build, Old Colony advances funds as construction progresses. Thus you have ready cash for advances to the con- tractor and for materials. No monthly payment on principal is required until you move in, if this is within 6 months of the date of the mortgage.

A 12-Point Mortgage cannot be called while your monthly payments are up to date.
