The Home Owners

Figures of the activities of the
building and loan associations of the
United States are always interesting
because they form an index Of the
prosperity and progress of the people
of the country in moderate circum-
stances. These associations, as every
body knows, finance the building of
homes by persons who are unable to
pay cash. Of course there are now
many other methods of financing the
building and purchasing of homes,
but the building and loan associations
occupy very important place in
home financing and their activities
are always significant from the stand
point of the modest home owner.
According to H. F. Cellarius, of
Cincinnati, secretary of the national
association of these organizations,
100000 American homes were bought
or built last year on mortgage loans
secured from building and loan asso-
Citations. There was a thirty per
cent increase in residential building
in the country during the same year.
There are more than 10000 of these
associations in America and their
assets amount to more than five and
a half billion dollars. Ten million
Americans hold stock in these or
CARNATIONS and the increase in as
sets during 1925 amounted to S743,-
23S,957 or 1876 per cent, while the
growth of membership in the asso-
Citations was 1,332,645.
The growth of institutions of this
kind is indicative of the prosperity of
the workers of the United States. So
long as the number of home owners
increases so rapidly there is little
danger of bolshevism in America.
The American worker is rapidly be-
coming a capitalist, and he is going
to be slow to risk his assets and his
opportunity for betterment for the
promise of Utopia which he knows
has never yet been made possible in a
world of human shortcomings.
