Address of Pres. E. L. Keesler
To NC. Building & Loan League

As president of the North Caro-
lima Building and Loan League i
becomes my duty to advise you o
the present status of affairs relating
to this cause in our State, and, in
general way, throughout the Union
Twelve years ago, when thi
league was formed, there wer,
about forty associations in the Stat
with assets of two and a half mil
lion dollars, and all of this, say,
approximately 100000 was EN-
ployed in the building of homes. Or
January l, 1914, there were 13S
associations, with assets of more
than eleven million dollars, nine
tenths of which was loaned for home
building within our state and at c
per cent The receipts for the veal
1918 alone amounted to seven and
half millions, represented by 25.-
400 white and 4,422 colored share
holders, with total of 1885, 35
shares. During the year 1918 eight
cen new associations were incorpor-
ated, and nine ceased to do bust
ness. Eleven failed to make their
report to Commissioner Young, so it
is evident that the figures given are
more than conservative.
From 1906 to 1913, inclusive, the
associations paid back to their share
holders in North Carolina, in ma
tured stock primarily, one hundred
and thirty-four millions OF dollars,
and still had more than eleven mil
lions in operation. Commissioner
Young well says that this is a re-
markable showing-in fact second
to that of no state-and very graft
flying, when it is remembered that
the business carried on by these as
sociations is not one that accumu-
lates money to be held, but is con-
tinually, not only receiving money,
but paying out the same on ma
tured shares.
| take pleasure in quoting anoth-
er paragraph from his most excel
lent report for 1918. He SAYS:
THE amount accomplished in en-
abling persons who otherwise could
not do so to build homes is very de-
sirable, but the education of citi-
zens who take out shares in build
ing and loan associations along the
line of thrift and economy, is of as
much, if not more value than the
work accomplished by the use of the
funds loaned"
| am glad to report that our peo-
pie are becoming better acquainted
with the objects, the unselfishness
the successes of these institutions,
and as the great good is felt in this
community, and that. so does the
cause extend it's wondrous branches.
1t has come to stay. The people
have tasted of it's sweetness and
they demand more.
I shall pause just here for mo-
ment to say that this work is grad
ually but surely spreading over the
entire Union. The East and the
great Northwest are fairly alive
with magnificent activity. How
broad and progressive along build
ing and loan lines some of our dis
tant sister states have become just
within a few recent years! Oh, that
North Carolina would wake up in
earnest to it's opportunities in this
wonderful work! Just suppose that

most electricity this fine old state
When the 200 delegates returned to
their homes there would be some
thinf doing in the home building
line. There would be savings begun
that would in the course of few
brief years, convert slow going,
unambitious community into a live,
throbbing town or city-another
Ashville, perhaps, who knows, or a
Winston.
South Carolina is pushing ahead
with remarkable energy and success.
1t has been my pleasure to meet
with the league of that historic
state on a number of occasions, and
much pleasure and profit have come
to me thereby.
Virginia is warming up, and
Georgia, Alabama and Florida, and
other southern states are beginning
to take notice also.
Now, my friends, if even tenth
of the good things which are said
about these building and loan asso-
Citations be true, and surely it's a
theme worthy of highest commenda-
tion and of praise unstinted, why
haven't we three, four or five times
the delegates present? Surely some
of our associations need data, sug-
gestion and advice.
At the directors meeting in my
association recently six delegates
were instructed to attend this meet
ing, that they might learn some
thing for the benefit of our parti-
cular plant, and for the betterment
of our town. And that was not all
their necessary expenses were or
dered paid by the association. This,
my utdl IL iChuS, 10 Tic SplIll that
has made Charlotte the biggest and
best building and loan town in the
whole South. This is the spirit that
made it possible last month for my
association to pass Il pom applica-
tions, 50 in number, and for $685.
ESQ. This explains why it was we
granted loans last Friday for $94,-
$50 represented by "a applications.
That's the reason we received on
Saturday, the 18th instant, through
our receiving windows, the neat
sum of $11 1928, and on Saturday,
the Sth of May, $13,649.96. That's
the way our people have become
prosperous and contented, and hap
py. That's why land is high and
business good. That's the keynote
of Charlottes success.
All, good people, if you and the
many other stay-aways would wake
up from the long sleep and retlize
the potentialities of the building
and loan associations for up-build-
ing of the state it wouldn't be
long before the old Tar Heel state
would be known the Union over as
the state, not only of beautiful wom-
en-, of mountain scenery beyond
compare, Of health-giving climate
unequalled and rare, but also as a
state of homes-homes simple. homes
beautiful, homes where happiness
dwells-and surely that is worth
while
