the unsecured debts will exceed

of living indirectly caused the fail

Brown, manager of the New York

more difficlt every day to sell the

search for securities that would

afforded by bonds.

Building Association Yields.

But at the same time 1t did not desire
to stand in the way Of the natural devel-
opment of Woodward & Lothrop's estab-
lishment, and, realizing also that the pro-
posed change in the location would be to
the decided advantage of the Equitable,
it was concluded to close with the
offer. In this way the additional
space needed by Messrs. Woodward &
Lothrop will be secured and the Equitable
will have another location that will be
equally as good on + street for it's pur-
poses, with the great advantage of new,
up-to-date building suitable in every way
for the transaction of its business and
which win be ample to meet the require
ments of future growth.
The Equitable has been doing business
for the last thirty-one years as a building
association. During that period 1t has
loaned more than seventeen millions of
dollars to members to secure homes, of
which they have repaid or settled over
fifteen millions of dollars. This large
sum has been loaned, 1t is a remarkable
fact, without the loss of dollar.
1t is looked upon as appropriate
that an institution which is as closely
munity as the Equitable, and the vol
umes of whose business has reached such
large proportions, should continue to
have as its place of business a build
ing that will not only be distinctive and a
contribution to the architecture of the
city in it's commercial section, but will
also supply ideal facilities required for
conducting the business of a building
association.
