BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIATIONS
The Building and Loan Associations of
Charlotte nave lent 100000 to citizens
of that place, which money has been in
vested in erecting houses for the Dor
rowers, thus not only beneftting them
individually, but contributing greatly to
the wealth and prosperity of that goahead
and thriving little city. There are build
ing and loan associations in Greensboro,
Raleigh, Wilmington and other towns in
North Carolina which have one much
towards the growth of those places by
furnishing the means to build to deserv-
ing persons who might find it difficult to
raise the means on advantageous terms
in any other way. They have unques-
tionably been a great benefit where they
have been we'll managed, in the commu-
mites where they have been established.
We nave heretofore suggested the organi-
ton of one in Winston, and refer to what
they are doing for Charlotte as an evil
dence of their usefulness.
