Point Pleasant has two flourish
ing building and loan associations.
They have greatly aided the work
ing class in this place. There are
many homes now owned by work
ing men, and they stand out as
monuments to integrity of the as
sociations. Many of the houses
that are now erected would not
have been built had it not been
for the building and loan associa-
tions of Point Pleasant We hope
they shall always prosper. They
deserve to, as they aid many peo-
pie in an honest manner.
