ninety-eight dollars on each share. Should the
member wish to borrow to purchase himself
home, he can do so for thirteen dollars per
month on each $1,000. All money paid to the
association is deposited daily in the Central
National Bank by Mr.. o. T. Thompson, the
treasurer, and once a month the loan fund is
withdrawn and the cash and all securities de-
posted with the trustee of the association, the
American Loan and Trust Company, Mr.. A. T.
Britton, president The loan fund cannot be
touched or withdrawn except on order of the
president, secretary, treasurer, and manager of
the loan department, so that it is plain to all the
funds, which in all corporations is the most
sacred, and the object to which all attention is
paid is most carefully guarded. There are no
colossal salaries to officers to absorb the funds,
no enormous expenditures, and while the
office is convenient and arranged with careful
detail for the despatch of business, there is no
unnecessary outlay nor ostentatious parade. The
shareholders of the Fidelity Building and
Loan Association are the benefciaries and the
participants in the earnings. The office is To-
Gated at Nos. 913 and 915 F street northwest,
Washington, ID. c., where all who are interested
may call and receive all the information they
require.

business men, who have thorough knowledge
of their business. The premises upon which
their prosperous business is conducted COM

supplies.

District. They are but twenty-five and twenty
four years of age, respectively, but are much
older In business experience They were edu-

Academy of Visitation, Georgetown.
TSee Cut on Page 4)

Picturesquely situated on the beautiful
heights of Georgetown, that quaint old place
now section of the National Capital, and
known to-day as West Washington, is the fa-
nous Georgetown Academy of the Visitation,
founded in the year $780, and rich in the mem
.ories of thousands of young girls educated for
noble womanhood. From its foundation the
education of character as well as that of the
mind has been the foremost purpose of this in
stitution Nothing is left undone the doing of
which would advance the interests and welfare
of the pupils intrusted to its care So ii was
that the Georgetown Academy of the Visitation
early in its history became known for such de-
sirable and absolutely indispensable principles
in the education of girls, and that reputation
has been more greatly enlarged every succeed
ing year of its existence. The simple rules OF
the academy, formulated as they are for the
better security and the greater advancement or
its charges, are few in number, but thoroughly
comprehensive in extent, and to this no less
than to the gentle administration of the noble
Sisters in charge is due that graceful and re-
fined department for which the graduates and
scholars of the academy are everywhere known.
The instruction given is material to the utmost
degree, entirely free from that superficial edu-
cation to which the great majority of institu-
tions devoted to the education of girls of to-day
are addicted

Since the organization of The Fidelity
Building and Loan Association its satisfactory
manner of doing business has so won upon the
public that its name has become household
word. 1t has proved itself friend to those of
limited means, by helping them to save their
money and secure homes by easy payments
The gentlemen who are connected with the as
sociation as officers, directors, and advisory are
all business men of probity and discretion, and
men who command the respect and enjoy the
confidence of our citizens The best proof of
this is the eagerness with which the shares are
sought. Each successive month since organi-
zation has shown an increase of business al
most double that of the proceeding. The pros
perity of the shareholders of The Fidelity
Building and Loan Association is assured by
the fact that the loan fund is held sacred for
that purpose, and no loan is made until the
most careful examination has been made of the
security offered thus protecting the share
holders. The shares placed within the reach of
every one, being one dollar per share per month,
maturing in one hundred and two months, at a
value of 5000, the shareholder thus realizing

WILLIAM WALTERS SON,

Carriage Manufacturer and Dealer, 800,
317, and $40 Fourteenth Street. Branch
Shop, 4I6 Eighth Street.
One of the Oldest carriage establishments in
Washington is that carried on in the two build
ngs occupied by William Walters Son, on
Fourteenth street. This concern, where wagons
are constructed suitable for all purposes, and
where the best assortment of buggies, yictorias,
broughams, and phaetons are to be seen in the
new building, was founded some forty-odd
years ago by the father of the present propre-
tor Some years ago Messrs. Fred and Charles
C. Walters continued the business, and about
two years ago Mr.. Charles c. Walters bought
out the interest of his brother, he having since
conducted the business alone.
Last July a disastrous confagration visited
this carriage shop, completely destroying the
building and everything it contained. The
building was rebuilt and within a few weeks
thesmall building almost adjoining has been torn
down and an imposing building has been.erected.
This four-story structure comprises as fine a
sales-room as could be desired. The.reputation

The Swan Lake cheese factory is now,

ing out 800 pounds of cheese daily. On
an average it takes 10 pounds of milk
to make l pound of cheese. We are
told that the state dairy commits
sioner recently informed the manag.
ers of the above named factory that
he had tested their cheese and that it
ranked high in quality. This factory
is the 120th in the state. The boxes
are made at Mankata, this state, of
elm wood. 1t is the intention of the
company to buy the wood, after it is
sawed into strips, and make their own
boxes. BY so doing they will save
quite a little amount in freight. as
the wood Will pack more compactly
than boxes. The company was not
prepared to manufacture boxes this
season, but probably will next year.
The cheese made at this factory finds
a ready market and commands a good
price. Last season most of it was
sold here OF shipped west, but this
season some of it is sold in Minneapo-
lis and St. Paul markets. The facto-
ry is a good institution f2r farmers
and we are plesed to learn that it is
