HOUSEHOLDERS' MORTGAGE , AND INVESTMENT Preliminary Capital , 50 . 000 Z ., in 10 , 000 Shares of Si . each . T HE objects of the Company are the Purchase of Reversions and the Granting of Loans , for long or short periods , on the mortgage of real or household pro ' - , perby , bank , railway , and other shares , to be repaid by periodical instalments . Its operations will be restricted to advances on positive security only , by which all risk of loss will be avoided . . ., ,, The advantage to the public of borrowing on gradually redeeming mortgages has been proved to be extremely acceptable , in preference to borrowing on mortgage returnable in one sum , because the borrower , who can easily pay interest , and a portion of the principal , if allowed , is seldom or never able to accumulate the full amount borrowed . A system , therefore , winch admits of the gradual liquidation of a mortgage is obviously desirable . The investments of the Company are calculated to pay a dividend of at least 8 per cent . ..,,.., * „ The liability of shareholders is limited to the amount of their shares , and all the advantages of the recent changes in the law of partnership are made available . _ The Company offers , as a guarantee , the investment or its funds upon securities of the first order only , and that no Director or Officer of the Company shall become a bor-TOWQY * ' ¦ ' ' " A half-yearly statement will be issued of money received ( specifying sources)—money invested , ( specifying securities ) —general summary of business to date , and profit and loss to date of statement .
