The Hyattsville Building Association
offers you loans on approved rcal-eStatC
in the State of Maryland, at fifteen dollars
per month on the 81 900 This is s pei
month less than the requirements of any
National Association we know Of. or OF
any neighboring Association.
Eight dollars of the fifteen goes to re-
duce the principal of the loan 1.-TWO dollars

Two dollars only 90 to premiums tprofit>

rover has pro rata share.
While the Association can not guara n
tee that payments of fifteen dollars pei
thousand will wipe out the advance in
less than seven years, we believe it will dc
so. 1t can and does guarantee that
economy in expenses and promptneSs OF
