iVew Method of Protecting Property 

 from Lightning. 



The Lightning Dispeller. 



Price, $20 to S3 0.— According to size. 



The Patent Lightning Dispeller is a conduc- 

 tor specially designed to dissipate the energy 

 of a lightning discharge, — to prevent its 

 doing harm, — placing something in its path 

 upon which its capacity for causing damage 

 may be expended. 



No recorded case of lightning stroke has 

 yet been cited against the principle of the 

 Dispeller. So far as known, the dissipation 

 of a conductor has invariably protected under 

 the conditions employed.

CHICAGO CITY MORTGAtiES FOR SALE, 



For the convenience of investors we carry from 

 $200,000 to $600,000 of choice mortgages at all times. 

 These loans are made by us after careful investiga- 

 tion of the titles, the value of the securities offered 

 and responsibility of borrowers. In transacting a 

 business of over $70,000,000, no title approved by ua 

 has ever been successfully attacked. 



IN ANY AMOUNr. 

 These loans vary in amount from S500 to S50,000,and 

 bear from 5 per cent, to 7 per cent, interest, payable 

 semi-annually at our office, or at such place as in- 

 vestor may elect. The standard rate on ordinary 

 amounts, say $3,000 to $10,000, being 6 per cent.; 

 smaller loans, Q^ per cent, and 7 per cent.; large 

 loans, on exceptionally strong security, 6 per cent, 

 and 514 per cent. 



AT PAR AND ACCRUED INTEREST. 

 These securities are ready for delivery, and are 

 on sale at par and accrued interest. No commission 

 is charged the buyer, the income named being net. 



INVESTORS' INTERESTS CARED FOR WITHOUT CHARGE, 



We collect all interest and remit to any part of the 

 country free of charge. We see that all insurance 

 policies pledged as collateral security are renewed 

 at expiration, and that the investor is protected in 

 case of failure on the part of the borrower to pay 

 taxes. In other words, we act as financial agents 

 for the investor without charge. Parties buying 

 mortgages securing building loans, where the build- 

 ings are not fully completed, are guaranteed com- 

 pletion free of mechanic's liens.
