Building & Loan Association
for Cambridge

Believing that Building & Loan
Association will be beneficial to the
community, we have decided to re-
organize the old Cambridge Building
& Loan Association, and as we have
had considerable experience in this
business, we will have our organi-
zation in shape to start business in
very short while.
The Building and Loan Associa-
tions encourage the saving habit, as
it will bring larger returns to its
members and they will make more
make the small weekly payments,
which is required of them, than they
will If left alone to deposit in saw
ings banks. where they do not have
to make regular deposits.
It will also enable persons of small
means to secure homes and pay for
them in small weekly payments.
which will only amount to about as
much as they are now paying rent.
The Cambridge Building and Loan
Association was very successful in
stitution during its existence, and
many of the present stockholders of
the Eastern Shore Trust Co. owe
their holdings to their building and
loan savings.
We request all those who feel in
terested in this proposition to call on
the undersigned for information,an and
would advise you to do SO at once,
as we will call a meeting In few
days to elect directors and other
wise perfect our organization.
