Diary OF Father Time

While the desire OF thousands OF
people TO buy land and lots through
building associations and other CO
operative schemes may seem to be a
modern craze. / remember how these
building associations existed and
fourished several hundred years be-
fore the Christian era. These socie-
ties were first established IN China.
By Pong Koong. a man OF great
wealth. during the Hon dynasty They
were recognized institutions in that
country as early as the year 200 B.
c., having some OF the prominent
features OF later building and loan
associations. such as payment OF dues
and interest at stated periods, re
payment OF loans on installment plan
fines for non-payment and the equal
division OF profits
In England such societies existed
60 early az 1871 and building clubs"
wore known In Birmingham as early
