Oh, How They Hurt.

F.. Neuralgia pains are often so acute,

Salvation Oil will instantly relieve and

SHOWS STEADY PROGRESS
PERMANENCE OF MECHANICS AND IN.
vEsT0R'S UNION DEMONSTRATED,
The Fourth Annual Report Shows Gratifying
Successful is Well Differed and Managed
Upon Permanent Plan of Value.

1t is pleasure to direct attention to
the annual statement published in this
issue made 10y the Mechanics and In
vestOrs' Union of Raleigh.
This is the fourth annual report. the
company having been organized in the
summer Of 1S93-the year of the grea
financial panic. The fact of this com
pany being able to survive the troubles
of the past few years, proves the valuo
and stability of its plans, and also the
ability of its managers.
The secretary says "Permanence of tho
organization, with full protection for the
widow i'm case of death, together with a,
fair and certain profit Tor the investing
members, were matters of careful ar
rangement; the plan provides for the
return to the stakeholder at maturity
all that he has paid, together with a pro,
fit of fifty per cent"
The report gives a clear statement of
assets and liabilities, and shows a
handsome profit This statement Should
give satisfaction and pleasure, not only
to the stockholders and borrowers, but
to every business man in Raleigh. The
company has distributed q large amour
OF money to builders in this city and in
other places, and claims to be prepared
to make loans on real estate, or to make
advances On its own stock ON demand.
The officers, who are also large stock
holders and men of ability. are all well
known business men of Raleigh. and
they will no doubt be able to carry out
every promise made. Our citizens who
desire to make investments will do well
to carefully examine the monthly pay
ment plans, and the fun paid coupon
stock of the company. We trust that
the Mechanics and Investors Union
will continue to prosper, and that their
ability to erect homes may be greatly
increased during the coming years. The
office of the company is in the Pullen
building where the secretary can be
found.
