Rare American Coins.

Coin collectors have long appre-
ciated the difficulty of making a com
plete collection of American speci-
mems. The United States coinage
of 1893 is very rare, and dollar OF
the year 1894 has often sold Tor as
much as 500. A 1876 half-cent Is
SO rare as to sell readily for SIS, and
a half-dollar of the same year Is
worth sixty times its original value.
While the half-cent Of 1904 is com.
mon enough, all the other coins OF
that year are rare, the dollar OF that
particular date being the rarest OF
all American coins. Only eight are
known to exist out of the IS, 57o that
were coined. The lowest price thai
one of these now changes hands iof
is $500. These prices are encoufa6
ing to collectors.

SO the borrower pays a premium
S4O5.0O and gets dividends on the
stock of $4,000 which not only
wipes out the premium paid but
reduces interest to level rate OF i
10 per cent.
In case some one inclined to figure
to "a fine point" complains that he
is paying a little more than above
rate, because he does not derive
dividends from entire amount paid
in, we would reply
Building and Loan Associations
offer You advantages to be obtained
no where else.
1st. The feeling of independence,
impossible were you paying off a
loan to private individual.
md. No bank OF banking institu-
ton, or individual money-lender
would accept these small monthly
payments; only institutions founded
for this express purpose can and will
do this for you.
3D.. The complaint that you are
paying more interest than you would
on straight loan outside is ground
less, YOU do not, often, not as much.
Let us see now how it actually
stands. what the rate really is on
amount you have actually had the use
of. You start out with loan of
$1,000, you pay in as dues on your IL
shares of stock, $500 per month for
SO months OF S49S. This amount you
get dividends upon, and the average
would be S249. Now we have s., 600
less S249=S751, which is the actual
amount you pay interest upon. The
excess of payments over $1,000 loan
is S31S, therefore you pay S31S IN
terest on S751 for seven years, which
is only 6 per cent on amount Dor
rover has actually had the use of.
Does this look like taking advantage
of the borrower as some call it?
Does it pay the borrower to enter
into contract with National Build
ing and Loan Association if he only
intends to run his loan year or so
Answer. Probably not, and we do
not seek borrowers who come to us
only for convenience, to stay year OF
two, as the profits on his investment
stock will not have time to reduce by
accumulation his interest and pre-.

LOAN AND EXPENSE FUND.

All National Associations limit
the amount of expenses. Expenses
are necessarily larger than the g Lo-
GALS on account of its branches,
literature, agents, etc, but as profits
are vastly larger too, the members
are well taken care of, and are always
satisfied. Expense fund consists OF
membership fee and 10 cents per

and dues have been promptly paid,
but as it is more costly to borrower
to run his loan for so short time,
we do not care to enter into contracts
of this kind, for only those who come
to stay, reap the full benefit of the
dividends, we therefore prefer the
latter class of borrowers, and feel
sure of satisfying those who may
come to us on such conditions.

ADVANTAGES OF NATIONAL PLAN Wv EN-
LOCAL.
The Local Association, having a
limited field of operation, begins
with active competition among its
members for advances, which results
in excessive premiums. Many who
desire to borrow are disappointed OF
their purpose and leave the Associ
alton. Later, the active competition
among members ceases and the
premium grows smaller. As the
time goes on the desire of the bor-
rowing members is satisfied and
there is no demand for the money.
The Association then is forced to
compel its investing members to
borrow. And so the borrowers get
their money at unjustly variant rates
of interest, and the investors are
often forced to borrow money that
they do not need.
In the National Association these
difficulties are satisfactorily solved.
Here there is no competition OF
