MW, property. In all cases where the title is perfect, the cost will be very slight to the borrower. As I am acting both as Agent and Valuator for soveral Companies there can possibly be no publicity in the transaction. If the title Is perfect the money will be aid here in two weeks after making applica- ion. 1 il JAMES LUND, , Broker, &ec., Parrish's Block, Cor, Brock and Bascom MONEY TO LOAN.
