BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIATION.

The Sentinel has on several oc-
casions suggested Improvements
and necessary facilities to the inn
provement of Winfield, and has
suggested Building and Loan
Association as one of the best
means of improving the town.
There is no town in the state of
the size and population of Winn-
field that has not Building and
Loan Association in successful
operation. These associations
not only build homes for the cit
liens, but become the savings
banks for the laboring men,.
We will venture to say that a
majority of the homes in the
growing and prosperous cities of
Monroe. Shreveport and Alexan-
dria have been built through the
aid of Building and Loan Asso-
Citations, and hundreds of labor
ing men, clerks, mechanics and
ladies have found the Building
and Loan Associations the best
of saving banks. A minor or a
married woman can deposit their
savings and it will be safe and
yield them large dividends. The
writer can call to mind within his
personal knowledge many fami-
lies who would today have been
without home. that now own
their homes unincumbered, and
in several instances they were
paid for in monthly installments.
which were less than the monthly
rent would have been; and 4 num-
Der of young men and women,
who by making the small deposit
of s. a month, have in the period
of eleven years drawn 1000.
The Building and Loan Asso-
citation is good for the borrower
because he gets home on small
monthly installments. It is good
for the man of small means as 40
investment. There is nothing
that equals il. One can take
stock as an investment and it be-
comes his savings bank and at
any time before its maturity he
can borrow aud the time his stock
has run only shortens the length
of time for his loan to mature.
To build . home through the
Building and Loan Association
one must own a lot unincumbered.
The building and loan association
will build house on the lot to
suit the owner for small monthly
payments.
The city of Philadelphia was
the pioneer city in the United
States in inaugurating this plan
of home building and statistics
show that today there are more
individual homes owned in that
city than any other in the United
States of the same population.
Let us organize = building and
loan association in Winfield.
