The importance of keeping firm and product names in the public eye is recognized by all business men. It is astonish- ing to see how a firm or product, however meritorious, 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

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 life 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.
