Since I have been away. . .

I feel the old familiar peace
That comes from going

entertained with several violin
selections. Wayne Leathers
was called upon for some of

FirstLoan is a simple interest
consumer loan. That means you
pay interest only on the amount
you actually owe. Only as long
as you owe it. So you save on
interest every time you make an
early payment. In fact, you can
pay off the entire loan ahead of
schedule and really save money.
On the other hand, if your
monthly payment is not made on
time, there is no late charge.
You simply pay a little more
interest for holding the
money longer.
FirstLoan. When you're ready
to remodel we can't think of a
better way to help. If you'd like
to know more about FirstLoan,
