Old Ideas and
New Ideals
By OSCAR SCHMIDT

The Saving G. Loan Association Is
not a new idea or experiment. The
first great exponet of the plan In
America was Benjamin Franklin and
it has had the endorsement Of great
men Of every generation to the pres
ent day when Herbert Hoover openly
expressed a desire to see the IN
stitution encouraged by public
spirited citizens throughout the
country.
There are three main objects con-
stantly in view in the administration
Of a Saving & Loan Association. First,
the safety OF invested money, second
ly the lowest possible expense to be
incurred in the carrying on of the
business, and thirdly the highest rate
Of dividend possible.
It is readily seen that the one OBJ
ject is contingent upon the other with
SAFETY ruling ell. What other In
vestment. safe beyond question or
doubt, will yield the depositor per
cent?
