ON THE DAYTON / A
Something About the Billings Building
and Loan Association.

800
One of the most noteworthy addi-
tons to the financial institutions Of
our city is the recently incorporated
Billings Building and Loan associa-
ton, which has it's offices at No. Z
North Twenty-eighth street.
This association is founded on the
%well-known Dayton plan, with such
slight notifications in the working
details as were found necessary to
meet local conditions.
There are no series; individual ac-
counts are kept with each member;
10 bidding for loans; in short, it is a
savings bank loaning money to it's
depositors and at the same time pay
ing them twice as much interest as
ordinary banks ever do.
The system is the result of the in
vestigations of expert financiers into
the faults of the ordinary building
and loan societies, and is the most
secure, satisfactory and economical
mutual savings and loan plan ever
evolved.
The roster of officers of the Billings
association is a guarantee of its
strength and honesty of administra-
ton.
