Working men may obtain freeholds and dwellings by payment of a small sum fortnightly, equal to rent for a few years.

Mutual participation in the profits by borrowers and invesfors. 2nd. Shares may be obtained at any time, dating from the first pay night in the months of May, August, November, and February. 3rd.
