The new series of the Gardiner Loan and
Building Association begins the first of Jan
uary, and as that time will soon be here those
who are desirous of investing their money,
whether wage Garner or capitalist, where it
will return them handsome interest and help
along the prosperity of the city, should be
thinking of taking shares in the association.
What the association greatly needs is new
subscribers, ard as January will soon be
here the citizens of Gardiner should take
hold Of it, To the laboring man the asso-
citation has proved the greatest OF blessings
as men who had never hoped for home
have been enabled to build them one, and
pay for 1t at their own convenience, while
the man who is doing large business and
wanted little money to help him when
crowded, has also been granted the same
privilege and been enabled to meet his bills
when due. During the past three years,
since the associat on was started. some eight
or ten buildings have been erected, and there
are more to follow. The greatest trouble so
far has been that there has not been ough
money to supply the demand which has been
made In the series just closed one hum
dred and fifty-ive shares have been taken
and the ASSOCIATION very much desire that
before the ns xt series shall be closed there
will be at least three hundred.
