Mutual Building
and Loan Asso-
citation Duly
Incorporated
Public Meeting Called for August 10Th
VIII Effect Organization at That
Time

\ charter has been obtained by
Francis A. Cooch, Frank Collins
I'D !, E. Dougherty for the pur-
pose of operating a Building and
Loan Association at Newark.
A public meeting will be held
Tuesday evening, August 10th, at
o'clock at the Farmers Trust Co.
Building for the purpose of or
ganiZing.
Said one of the incorporators in
discussing such associations in
reueral, and the Mutual Assocla-
ton in particular:
The business of building and
loan association is entirely mutual
among it's stockholders, and its
members in building or buying
homes of their own.
ANY one desiring to own his
own home, which desire, we are
glad to say, is very strong among
the American people, can obtain
very substantial assistance from
his building and loan association
For example, a member desiring tc
build or buy, provided the build
MO and loan is satisfied with the
margin of safety offered, woult
loan say $4,000 to a member. III
would pay $4,000 a month due
and interest, very little more thai
his present rent, and at the EN-
Of about 111a years, his hom
would be entirely clear. In thl
case he would be paying $500
YEAR. If he borrowed $4,000 on
straight mortage, his interes
would be $500 year and for III
Years would amount to S345O-a
most as much as his entire lndeb
edness. and he would be still OWN
$4,000. AS you will see, under tt
building and loan plan, his lnte
est amounts to approximate
$1,000, against S3450 under IL
straight mortgage plan, a saVll
Of over $500.
"A number of people who do n
desire to borrow, take out bull
ing and loan stock as a savln
proposition. Five dollars p
month paid on 5 shares Tor IL
Years represents an outlay
$500, which would be worth
that time approximately Slo
making a very attractive inve
ment. .
Such a plan will senc your I
or girl to college; provide tuf
to liquidate a mortgage; prov
for the replacement of machine
provide insurance FOR old a
etc.
"At the meeting to be held Iu
day evening, August 10th, v
cordial invitation is extended
any one who may be interested.
that time subscriptions for st
will be taken and officers and
rectors elected, one vote be
given for each share or stock
scribed and paid for.
THE home question here
Newark is a very serious one,
ANYTHING which may help the
uation should be very caref
considered"
