BOUTTHEDAYT0N PLAN

In the making of Fort Worth 1t is
probable no single element has been
30 potent for good as that OF building
and loan associations. These have
encouraged to small savings and
prompt Investments, which have re-
suited in the building and owning OF
homes by the worklngmen OF the town.
These associations have been organ
lied and differed by men of character
who have had the good of the town
and OF its people at heart. They have
been managed with both llberality and
conservatism, which combination has
wrought most favorably for all con-
cerned.
The Oldest of these Ii the Fort Worth.
with X. NJ. NanZandt as president; and
the youngest is the Mutual Home and
Savings association, with ]. w. Spen-
Ger for president, and Ben o. Smith for
treasurer. This association though less
than II year old, has proven itself so
popular that its capital stock has had
to be increased from Sl50,000 to 100000.
Its constitution emDodies some features
new to Texas associations and which
are proving most attractive.
one serious objection-and the only
objectlon--to such associations hereto
fore has been the forfeiture feature.
The Dayton plan, adopted by this an
ISOLATION, allows one to take stock any
day he chooses hold it while he wills.
ana dispose OF II Mt the real value any
day he desires to do 50. On the old
plan new series of stock was issued
twice year; the new plan proposes
new Jssue of stock every day.
