One- Year Railroad Bonds 

 Netting Nearly 7% 



We offer for sale a limited amount of the One -Year Bonds (maturing 

 April 1 , 1 909) of a railroad corporation which has paid regular dividends on 

 its capital stock for the past five years. 



Most short-term securities are in the form of notes; that is, secured only 

 on the general assets of the Company. The bonds offered are a direct hen 

 on the entire property of the Company, subject only to a First Mortgage issue 

 representing in amount only about one-half the actual cash cost of the Com- 

 pany's property and equipment. 



We will furnish a special circular on request.

THOMPSON FARM MORTGAGES 



Life Insurance Companies invest the money you have given them in 

 Mortgages secured on farms like this because they are the best investment 

 known for those seeking absolute security with a just but attractive 

 rate of interest. Are not these mortgages worthy of your own funds ? 

 Let me tell you about them.
