This is evidenced by the figures available as
to their activities in the years 1924 and 1925.
For example, the highest peak they ever at
tanned was in 1924 when they increased their
assets eight hundred and twenty-five million
dollars an increase of nearly 2lG over the total
assets reported for the preceding year.
One million three hundred and forty-one
thousand persons became members of such or
CARNATIONS in 1924, an increase of about 1870
over the gain in the preceding year.
1t is significant of the present day popularity
of these associations that it took them over
three-quarters of a century to accumulate as
sets equal to last years growth. The total re-
sources of such organizations now are five
times as large as they were fifteen years ago.
The reasons for such growth are not hard to
find
These associations are devised to meet the
special needs of the masses-those with COM
parativey small means who cannot afford to
lose single dollar and are at the same time
under the necessity of making every dollar
bring them maximum earnings, coupled with
absolute safety.
Every person who becomes a member at the
time of making his first deposit, regardless of
how small the amount may be, shares proper
tionately in all earnings of the association.
These earnings are divided as dividends semi
annually. When such dividends are not with
drawn by the members, they, as consequence,
receive compound interest on their savings.
Because of this arrangements, persons of
small means can through such organizations
receive larger returns on their savings than is
possible in any other way with the same degree
of safety.
The unusual element of safety characteristic
of these organizations also make strong
appeal to persons with comparatively small
funds This safety arises out of the limitations
placed upon the nature of loans which such as
sociations are permitted by law to make and
by the strict supervision to which all of their
methods of operation are subjected.
These figures do not include the members Q
placed in commercial banks maintaining savin,
posts instead of dividends on all earnings of IL

- " LII NAlN IL lx LII MILL
I MANY STATES AS BUILDING AND LOAN
THAN AT ANY TIME IN THEIR HISTORY
Probably the best evidence of the unusual
degree of safety surrounding funds placed in
such associations is the fact that in 1924 the
percentage of loss in building associations
throughout the country was only eighty-four
ten-thousandths of one per cent, based on to-
tai assets.
Apart from the personal appeal of such asso-
Citations to the man who is looking for safe
and profitable place to put his savings, these
associations have exerted a far-reaching influ-
ence in providing homes for the wage-earner,
well as in otherwise contributing to COM
munity development.
For example, during 1924 it is estimated that
savings and loan associations throughout the
country loaned one billion four hundred and
sixty million dollars-an increase of two hun
dred million dollars over the amount similarly
placed in the preceding year. 1t is, therefore,
estimated that these associations in the United
States assisted their members in building or
ing the year l924-a public service of meal
culabe value
In The State of Washington
In this state the service rendered elsewhere
by organizations known as Building and Loan
Associations is performed by SAVINGS AND
} LOAN and kindred associations.
The small investor gets the maximum earn
ing power and also helps the man who wants
to borrow and build home
All securities of the Savings a. \ Loan Asso-
Citations are deposited with the State.
The expense of conducting the operation is
limited by the State to two and one-half per
cent on the average amount of assets of the as
ISOLATION throughout the year.
There were sixty eight Savings and Loan AS
sociations in the State of Washington in 1925,
with total membership of 1883, and total
assets of S68,638, O4986. The increase in mem
bership in that year in this state was H,SlO,
