With Happiness and Security

OLD COLONY SAVINGS PLANS

Monthly Savings help you save systematically for college, travel, a home, retirement.

Convenience Savings enable you to save any amount at any time for big expenses, emergencies, etc.

Income Shares are a profitable "in- come investment" for lump sums.

Pre-Paid Shares are a safe "growth investment" for reserve funds.

In All Plans, your savings earn gen- erous semi-annual dividends, and are insured up to $10,000.

THE 12-POINT MORTGAGE PLAN

When you buy a home, you make a reasonable down-payment, then repay your mortgage loan monthly, like rent, over a 10-to-20-year period. The low interest rate is further lowered by re- ductions of 1/2% each at stated intervals.

When you build, Old Colony ad- vances funds as construction pro- gresses. No monthly payment on prin- cipal is required until you move in, if this is within 6 months of the date of the mortgage.

Please!

Do Not Lend Your CITY DIRECTORY

IT COSTS YOU MONEY-Every Time it Is Loaned

The practice of lending your City Directory, in a great measure, is responsible for the increasing cost of Directory Service.

The reason is :-

There is a definite cost involved in the making of the DIRECTORY of Your City.

THIS COST MUST BE ABSORBED BY THE SUBSCRIBERS-BE THEY ONE-OR BE THEY 1000.

If there were but ONE SUBSCRIBER to the CITY DIRECTORY-THE ONE SUBSCRIBER would of necessity have to absorb THE WHOLE COST.

If there were 100 SUBSCRIBERS-each one would have to absorb 1/100th PART OF THE WHOLE COST.

If there were 1000 SUBSCRIBERS-each one would have to absorb 1/1000th PART OF THE WHOLE COST.

From which it is obvious that the GREATER the number of subscribers -the LESSER the cost to each.

And

It is also obvious that the LESSER the number of subscribers-the GREATER the cost to each.

Every time you loan your City Directory the LESS NECESSITY THERE IS FOR THE BORROWER TO SUBSCRIBE FOR THE SERVICE.

MORE BORROWERS result in FEWER SUBSCRIBERS which means IN- CREASED COST.
