tagonistic to that of the Banks. We
hoard no meney-keep none locked
up; as fast as paid in, it goes right
out again in the way of loans to build
homes and pay for homes already
built-to employ labor and pay for
material to build.
All the banks in this county ave
represented in our Directory--one
Bank President, one Vice President,
three Bank Directors, and our Treas.
urer is a Bank Cashier.
We have successfully passed through
these ordeals, having eliminated the
gross premium plan and reduced all
our business to the net tmonthly)
premium plan and outweathered the
storm Of financial distress and dis.
trust.
Having passed successfully through
all these piciSSitudes,
TODAY
the business, though reduced. is on a
sound financial basis. The earnings
or profits shown are actually earned,
and no doubt will be very satisfactory
to the membership.
1--WE knoW whore we are at" Our
present plan we believe to be the best
extant, as it is based on sound mathe.
MATES and exact justice TO all men,
bers. Our Directory will compare
favorably with that of any corporation
in the State, being composed of men
who stand second to none for honesty,
integrity, correct business methods,
and sound fnNuciering, Our stock
holders are loyal to the Association.
Our capital is unimpaired. We would
not exchange our business for an
equal amount percentage OF that OF
any other larger Association in the
State,
We have fine, healthy nucleus
upon which it is possible to build a
prosperous, permanent business. We
can now build upon a rock. The
management earnestly ask the hearty
cooperation of every member.
TIE FUTURE
Of this business is Just what you make
it. The management will leave no
stone unturned to make success OF
this business. Will YOU help?
