An Old Colony Construction Mortgage The Key to Home Ownership

OLD COLONY 12 Point

MORT

PLAN

IGAGE

Old Colony has financed the building of thou- sands of Rhode Island houses. Just note the details of its new, advanced 12-Point Mortgage Plan:

One Old Colony mortgage finances the house economically, both during and after construction. Old Colony pays the charges for title search and recording fees. Old Colony's preliminary counsel and its in- spections during construction can help you to get what you pay for - a home soundly built as well as properly planned.

Your commitments may be made on a. vacant site and the loan closed before building starts. But, note carefully . . . interest begins only when advances are made and only on the sums advanced for labor or materials . . . not on the entire amount or when the loan is closed. Besides

. . . there are three reductions of 1/2% each at regular intervals during the term of the mortgage. These features save you . real money!

Your first payment may be deferred until you move in, if this is within six months from the date of the mortgage. Here again, if you let Old Colony consult with you at the very start, a schedule of pay- ments that your budget can easily carry without strain can usually be worked out. After that, one regular monthly payment like rent, covers steady, direct reduction of principal, as well as current interest figured only on the lessening balance due.

All this means home satisfaction and independence . . . for you. See Old Colony . . . first! G. 7. Loans for Service Men and Women

Out of Sight! Out of Mind! Out of Business!

The importance of keeping firm and prod- uct names in the public eye is recognized by all business men. It is astonishing to see how a firm or product, however meritori- ous, will slip into the limbo of the forgotten if not persistently advertised.

The City Directory is the natural medium for keeping a business or product name in the spotlight. Insist on being well represented in its pages.
