FINE SHOWING MADE
BY COLOREO ORGANIZATION
Peoples Building and Loan Associa
ton is Economically and
Well Managed.

The regular meeting of the Peo-
pies Building and Loan Association,
OF Hampton, was held last week, at
which time the old directors were
elected to serve another year, and
the secretary rendered report of
the business OF the year.

report was the evidence it gave uf
the strict economy with which the
concern is run. The total receipts
for the year were $51,2i6.S6; gross
earnings. $ll.2S0.i0; outstanding
loans, Sl3S.357.9O; the volume Of
business indicated by the foregoing
figures was transacted at Il total
expense of Sl,700.iS for the twelve
months, which is only per cent OF
the total receipts, and 10 per cent. Of
the gross earnings for the year.
The net earnings for the year
amounted to $9,579.92. representing
a dividend of more than per cent.
on the associations paid UP capital
of $lS0,oS5.S2. After paying Z per
cent. dividend OH all stock in force
there remained $iSS.T7 to add to its
reserve fund which now amounts to
$S,S34.91.
This organization has been in
business nearly eighteen years, and
Is probably the largest building and
loan association controlled by negroes
in the United States.
