The average amount per share of such
q bid would be $50 43 The time of
$50 As loan would, by the rates OF the
association, be three years and ten
months. That is, the above bid of small
and large discounts would be averaged
into time of three years and tan
months for the 1923 loaned on the seven
shares. At forty cents insta'l.nrGt PIT +
week on one share, the weekly
Installment on seven shares would
be So so, which in three
years and ten months would be
in round figures $500. D.duct the
principal received and the total interest
paid would amount to $137, or say $50
per yeer interest on the loan.
This illustration Is made tor the pur-
pose of explaining the ratts so that
bidders can see that they need not hesl-
tate to bid q heavy discount on some
shares if they secure other shares at a
light discount, as tho effect is simply
the entire loan. Many combinations of
time and interests may thus be made.
The plan is designed by its fiexIbilIty
and uniformity to meet all
individual Interests as nearly as
possible, all borrowers paying the same
rate of interest per 500 for the same
rate of time for which they borrow.
Stock is issued continuously So that
new members who have just purchased
shares by payment OF the registry fee
and the first installment of % cents each,
can bid for loans on the same terms IS
If they had begun at the beginning OF the
association. Hence the loans are prac-
ticslly open all the time from year to
year to the entire community.
These advantages should be kept be-
fore the public so that all, newcomers as
we'll IS old citizens, may have the infor-
m ltion and avail themselves of the ad-
yantases OF this method Of borrowing
money. especially for the purpose of
building or buying homes end saving

Purchasers OF stock who do not Dor
row their shares can call for the money

bends thereon. This affords continu-

TO begia al i save money at the rate of %
cents per week or multiples thereof.
