I send this testimony with the fervent prayer that it may be the means of bringing to some care-burdened reader the relief and peace of mind and gratitude that were mine when the message was brought to me that there was a way out of my difficulties.

Everything I had in the world, my entire widow's mite, was invested in a four-apartment building, and my family lived in one of the apartments. Owing to an overbuilt condition which suddenly became apparent in our city, I was unable to keep my apartments rented and consequently was unable to meet the monthly payments on the building as they became due.

Cancellation of my contract was threatened repeatedly, which meant not only that I would lose the entire investment in the property but that my family would be left homeless. I appealed to various real estate dealers, endeavoring to sell or exchange my equity at any price I could get, in preference to a total loss. I was told by each of them that, owing to the deflation in property values prevalent at that time, what I had considered quite a substantial equity had been practically swept away.
