1 CHANCE FOR YOU TO ! MAKE SOME MONEY

You don't have to be J rich to make good investments in Canada. AH you need is one or two hundred dollars, and even that may be divided upon so that a little saving each month will take car of the payments. And the prospects to double or triple your money are just about as certain as the sunrise tomorrow morning. ' It would be safe to say that no one ever put his money Into carefully selected lots in boom towns in Canada and did anything else but win. The reason is that Canada is developing so fast by means of its new railroads. Calgary, starting with a population of a little more than 4.000, sprang into the limelight almost immediately after the Canadian Pacific opened it up and in a few years boasted of 40,000 souls, while lots which could have been bought for $150 to $200 at the beginning, quickly commanded $1,000 to $2,000, and now choice corners can scarcely, be bought for $30,000 to $80,000. The same thing has been true in proportionate measure in Edmonton, Prince Rupert. Fort George and numbers of other Canadian cities. A rich opportunity, just now coming to the front, which you yourself can easily take advantage of, is in Fort Frasjr. This townsite is directly on the main line of the registered right of way of the great new Grand Trunk Pacific and promises the most attractive future of any townsite which has developed in Canada for a long time. It is the logical center for not only one but ten railroads and, indeed, even now has an established reputation as a century-old trading post. Since the new Grand Trunk Pacific already has grading camps within a few miles of Kort Fraser. the boom is due to arrive almost at once, but there is yet time to get in on the original low prices if you act quickly. Ixts may be had for as little as $100 to $200 and up on easy terms, as low as 10 per cent down and 5 per cent per month. No interest or taxes until lots are fully paid for. The British Columbia government itself guarantees the titles. Write to Spence, Jordan & Co., Dept. C. Marquette Bldg.. Chicago, who are the official representatives of the townsite.

The Whiting Savings and Loan association gained the best points of Its method from the famous Home association of Dayton, O. The genius who presided over tne destinies of that organization altered its conduct of business to emphasize Safety and Convenience rather 'than mere profit. Safety was gained by building up a strong contingent fund, and convenience to both borrower and lender was secured by a change of bookkeeping methods whereby an investor was permitted to deposit as much or as little money as he desired without fines or restrlc tions. Withdrawals were made easier in order that the investing member might have more freedom. The borrow er too was given the privilege of re paying just as much of his loan as he wished at any time. The balance due on his loan was always shown plainly on his pass book. These advantages became exceedingly popular and soon made the Home one of the largest as sociatlons in-the world. HENRY S.
