A home-buying plan that
will not place a burden on
your heirs
Many men who want homes of their
own hesitate to buy because they fear
that, in event of their death, their fam
ily would lose the home through in
ability to carry the mortgage.
The United Security Home - Buying
Plan removes this fear completely. It
puts your own roof over your head at
a monthly cost equivalent to rent.
Furthermore, it provides that in the
event of your death, the home will go
to your heirs free of all debt.
We shall be glad to discuss the details
of this plan with any one who desires
to own a home or who wishes 4o reduce
a present mortgage. This plan has
been in opcra'tion for thirty-five years
and has opened the way to home
ownership for thousands.
Come in today and talk it over with
Mr. Hekman. Or, if it is not convenient
for you to pay us a visit at once, write
for our leaflet. "The United Security
Ilome-Kuying Plan."
