A Homo Institution For Home Men

nome INSTITUTION FOR rome Wen.
1t has been said that the neatest
home on Caddo street is the one built
by a share holder in the Peoples
Building and Loan Association, with
money secured from that institution.
Be that as it may, this home is evil
dence of two things, that this associa-
tiOn is help to the one who would
help himself and that it only loans
money on the best security.
The lot upon which the house in
question was built was owned in fee
simple by the borrower and the
monthly payments which he is max.
ing are rendering the security more
and more gilt edged every day.
For a safe investment every day,
one where your money is secured by
steadily advancing real estate values
it would be hard to find a better op-
portnity than is offered by this CON-
pany.
The president of the association, as
well as the secretary is = man who
is known to every one in Ardmore as
a straightforward and an upright bus
mess man. The people Of this city
recognized his integrity and ability
as a business man when they elected
lin their mayor and in the business
world he is recognized as a success.
This can also be said OF the secre-
tary. W. A. Edwards, who will gladly
give any full information upon the
plans and ideas of the association.

The thoughts that occur to me.

That intrudes. Does the whole thing pay I
And the giving still goes on

Brings again the same old cry;
Broke, broke, broke!
