own home where you and little ones
listen for the familiar step of the head
of the house, and where in loving
companionship the household is gath
cred in the serenity of their castle
Chowever humble), where none dare
to molest or enter without being bid
den SO to do.
The subject I am here to talk to you
on, is what is known as the System
Of Local Building and Loan Associa-
tions, and to give you a clearer under
standing Of what position these Insti-
tutions have sustained in the indus
trial, and economic affairs of the
world. I will briefly sketch an out
line of the origin and history Of these
institutions.
My friends, it is not easy to fix up
on a date when and where these socie-
ties originated. The earliest authentic
information which we have is that a
society for the purchasing of dwell
ings was formed in Birmingham, Eng
land, in 1881. They were found to be
so beneficial, and grew in such popu-
lar favor, that England has to-day per-
haps, no less than $4,000 such insti-
tutions, with a capital in subscribed
shares of probably over billion dol
lars, and a membership of two million
stockholders.
In this country Pennsylvania was
the original home Of the Building and
Loan Associations. The first was or
ganized in 1881 at Frankfort, now a
suburb Of Philadelphia, and to-day
over 100000 homes in Philadelphia,
and it's environs, stand to the credit
of the great home building" idea.
In such favor have Building and
Loan Associations grown in many
states of this Union, where their ben
efits have best demonstrated, that in
some States special favorable legisla-
ton has been enacted, among which
the exemption of taxes and usury laws.
1t no doubt, will surprise you to learn
that while these Associations receive
their life and have their support chief
ly from the Wage Earning classes, by
the payment weekly Of the small sum
of 25 cents per share, that the COM
bined amount of subscribed shares up
to latest authentic information, is no
less than the colossal sum of $780,
100000, and from a money standpoint
these institutions are second only in
volume to the combined paid in capital
Of all the National Banks in the Unit
ed States, which then was s75O,OOO,-
600 or only s1O0,oOO,OO0 more
Of the several States Standing high
est in the rank Of number of Associa-
tions and subscribed shares and
amount per capita, we find:
New Jersey with 362 Associations,
81 million subscribed shares, and $27
per capita.
Ohio with 731 Associations, 116 mil.
subscribed shares, and $25 per capita.
Pennsylvania with 1,196 Associa-
tions, 1913 million subscribed shares,
SIT per capita
New York with 300 Associations, "A
million subscribed shares, and So per
capita.
Let us now come to our own State.
There were in operation in this State
four years ago but 27 Associations,
with shares subscribed of but $1,75O,-
900, or about one dollar per capita, but
at that time some of the most active
Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1907-05-02

Building and Loan men conceived the
plan that North Carolina ought to
have a State League Of Building and
Loan Associations Gas most of the
States in this Union have); for the
purpose of disseminating the beneficial
effects of these Institutions, and the
result is that to-day there are in op-
Grafton in North Carolina no less than
100 such Associations, with subscribed
shares amounting to $4,000, 10000, or
$5 per capita.
Now let us come nearer home, and
see what Building and Loan Associa-
tiOns have accomplished for your little
running mate, otherwise known as
the City of "Charlotte"; which in some
Of its lesser details are reducible to
| mere figures, but in the larger reckon
ing upon the lives of people, individ-
ually and collectively, the amount can
only be told in the clearing house
of results; but allow me, ladies and
gentlemen before entering upon the
formidable array of figures, in show
ing the results for Charlotte through
its Building and Loan Associations,
to say, that its officers claim no con.
cealed secret, nor do they WELD the
Magicians wand in the achievements
I shall state; but I desire to accent
uate the fact that every Building and
Loan Association, in this or any other
town or city, can accomplish the same
results by simply employing the same
methods: namely, by PUSH, PLUCK
and PERSEVERANCE, honest and
! foiY 1iYo hIrt toly il
into its confidence, AND A LIBERAL
USE OF PRINTERS INK.
A City which can boast among it's
citizens, men who have graced the
highest position within the gift of the
people of this commonwealth, men
who have graced the Judicial bench,
and among the men of affairs and bus
mess you have Royal, We'll, Bordens,
Rosenthal, Wrenn, Griffin, Dewey,
Norwood, J.
There is no reason excepting that,
this method had not heretofore been
fully presented to them in all its beau
tiful and beneficial results, you here
should not in the near future, reap
proportionately the same good results
We have in Charlotte today sub
SCIlUGu S1dl S0 Ill lOICO OO,UUU, equal 10
one-haf of those of the whole State,
of the par value of $10O per share,
equal to $3,300,00O, which based on
Charlotte's recently extended boun-
daries, giving population of thirty
five thousand, we have the gratifying
and amazingly significant fact of $95
subscribed for every inhabitant as
against but SIS by the State at large
The people of Charlotte have paid
cash on said subscription list the enor-
nous sum of $1,20O,O0O, which makes it
about s36 for every inhabitant, white
and black, old and young. There have
been issued to date in that city by the
three Building and Loan Associations
100000 shares, equal in a paid up
value of $10,OOO,OOO.
But let me now speak more in detail
OF the institution in that city, namely,
the Mechanics Perpetual, of which 7
have had the honor to be its presi-
dent since it's organization, "a years
ago; and my friends, follow me close
ly in my statement of the most graft
flying results. That Association has

Hence 33c more per week than his
rent and in 1-3 years makes $4,000.
This much more than the rent during
that time. Now let him take two
more shares and borrow from the
Building and Loan 5000 and pay up
in full the purchase money. This new
loan when the shares mature will
cost him with interest $241; total,
$3.50.
Now le+ Us count 1-3 years
