Friends, W here can you find such an investment
Can you purchase a farm or business of any kind, pay one-fifth of its value,
take up other work and com e back in five years and pay the balance, without
paying any interest, insurance, or expenses in the transaction, and all the time
know that it is going to be worth par w hen you are ready to pay for it ?
