Five Per Cent. Non Red Tape Farm Loans.

W. B. Austin continues to make a majority of all the loans placed to Jasper County. In a given period of time Mr. Austin placed 86 loans and all other land agents placed 89 loans. Here are the Reasons: First; his rates are the lowest of the low. Second; he makes quick loans—from one hour to 2 days being the longest necessary to complete a loan. Third; there is no red tape about his loans—You don’t have to give the color of your grandmother’s hair in order to have a good title. Fourth; he loans “home money” so* that if you can’t meet your interest the day it is due you don’t have an attorney fee to pay.
