THOMPSON FARM MORTGAGES 



are first mortgages on improved 

 farms, where the value of the 

 land, exclusive of the buildings, 

 is from two to four times the 

 amount of the loan. Perfect title 

 is shown by an abstract and an 

 attorney's opinion. You can 

 know all about your farm mort- 

 gage investment. Every loan is 

 accompanied by an application, 

 which fully describes the land, 

 shows its location, distance from 

 markets, amount of improvements, and the actual value, together with my in- 

 dependent examination and appraisal. The interest is collected each year and 

 remitted to you in New York exchange without expense or bother to you. The 

 most approved forms of papers are used, including coupon first mortgage note. In 

 no other form of investment is there placed in your hands such complete informa- 

 tion regarding the security. My Farm Mortgages appeal especially to the small 

 investor. He gets the same ample security, the same complete information as to 

 that security, and the same at- 

 tractive rate of interest as the 

 greatest capitalist or corporation 

 in the land. Let me send you 

 my list of mortgages, varying in 

 amounts from $100 up. 

 If you have funds for investment, write me.
