OUR LOAN ASSOCIATION

The Mutual Loan Association Of thi>
town is now closing up the thirty -niueth
year OF its existance, and the last year has
been one Of the most prosperous in its
history. This association has been a great
blessing 10 many ia the last thirty mine
years, offering safe place for the iAvest-
ment of small earnings, and enabling
stockholders to buy or build for themse!-
yes comfortable homes. 1t would have
been well if some who invested their funds
in foreign Associations, had patronized
the home institution, as thousands OF dol
lars have been lost in the hope of realiz-
ing large dividends, which never materi-
aIiz d, nor did the principal invested.
The lesson has been a bitter one to many
and should be warning to others who
are seeking for q safe place in which to in
vest their hard earned money. This As.
sociation has paid an average of over seven
per cent. The Saving Banks pay an in
terest OF only four per cent on deposits,
while the Postal Saving Banks pay but
two per cent Persons holding stock in
this Association can make stock loans for
the value of the stock, and return the
same at their convenience. The books
are now open for the sale of the fortietb
series Of stock, and subscriptions will be
received at any time by applying to the
Secretary, Alfred 6. Cox, who will be
pleased to furnish any desired informa-
tion,
