Fund OF $4,000
GREATER PROFITS THAN ANY BANK EAST OF
The MISSISSIPPI RIVER


Attention is called to the sixth an
rnual report of the Five Mile Beach
Building and Loan Association pub
lhshed in this issue. The association
has had a prosperous year and earned
al little over eight per cent. Its securi-
ties are all in mortgages here on the
island and much care Is exercised by
the directors in making loans. Taking
stock in a good building association is
ONE of the best methods of saving
money, a fact recognized by State
Comptroller J. Willard Morgan, who
has Just taken 25 shares in the Wild
who'd association. "
Fhe board of directors of the Marine
National Bank placed $4,000 from its
undivided profits to its surplus fund

$40. 900, or two-thirds the amount of its
car.ital stock. One of the national
bank examiners is authority for the
statement that this little bank on Five
Mile Beach has show n a greater profit
in proportion to its capital than any
national bank east of the Mississippi
river.

A couple of weeks ago when Thomas
Martindale returned from the forests of
Maine, where he spent a month hunting
moose and other big game, there was
something doing right away in his
home town of philadelphia. The street
car question was opened up immedi-
ately on his return and his controversy
with George II. Earle, the noted finan-
cier, is a matter of public record, the
views of both having been fully exploit
ed in the public press. Mr.. Martindale
is now mentioned as oneof the eligibles
for Mayor of Philadelphia, and should
he be chosen next February for this
high office in that great city the people
can rest assured that he will conduct
an honest and fearless administration.
Goodness knows, Philadelphia needs
it. Mr.. Martindale has a summer
home in Wildwood and has spent his
summers here for the past four years,
making a host of warm friends who
hope to see him elected Mayor OF the
Quaker City. His latest visit here was
only last Sunday when he was a guest
at Willard Hall.
Two sisters of Mrs. Bertha Hackney,

Grace married Edward William
Dorsey, of Virginia, at Atlantic City
on Thanksgiving day. The two brides
resided at Cape May Court House and
