AT NORTH ST. PAUL.
A Building Association That Is
Doing Great Good.

The North st. Paul Loan and Build
ing association was taken hold of by the
citizens of North st. Paul about the 1st
of January. 1889. As is the case with all
building associations, its growth at first
was very slow, but as each month
passed loans were made as fast as there
was money enough in the treasury to do
so. There have always been more loans
in sight than the association could en-
terrain. If the association could double
or treble its stock It could more than
double its business, and consequently
increase its profits at no more expense
than it now takes to do its business.
