[ SERVINGS AND oh]

Surprising what a difference a new roof, or a new paint job, can make in the appearance of an old house—to say nothing of the added protection and length of life such improvements give.

If you are, thinking of “fixing up” your house this Spring—or of adding a new kitchen, bathroom or garage—an ARSENAL Improvement Loan will solve the financial problem for you. Loans for such improvements are quickly arranged here at ARSENAL, and easily repaid in small monthly payments. Come in any time for a friendly talk—without the least obligation.
