Instead of Paying Rent for years and owning nothing at the end of the term the property is yours, Meanwhile, you have had the home from the first?with the motive to im prove It. Owning one's home does more to make an independent man than any thing elee. A man with little or no property finds it hard to borrow and build. Such men this company provides credit for. There are hundreds of working men in this town paying- rent on houses that are not cosy and comforta ble, they have no conveniences, that are not kept up and that are not im proving in value. Lots in Laurens are cheap. These same men, with tho rent money th aro paying, can all own homes which they will take pride and which will grow more valuable each year. The Piedmont Savings and Invest ment Company is not a building and loan association. Why? Because the contract Is certain and definite. The borrower knows to a day when his debt will be due. Moreover the rate of interest is lower. W. W. BALL and M. L, COPELAND. CUT THIS OUT.
