ing and loan association and the only
expense he is put to is having the
title continued, tax certificate an !
q new appraisement, all OF which
amount to a nominal expense. Pay
ing for the house In this way also
teaches the purchaser the habit of
thrift. After he has hquidated his
loan, he finds that he has been able
to set aside that amount each month
and has acquired the habit OF saving
and, In a large percentage Of cases,
these people who have been borrow.
ers for years, become investors; and
instead OF paying interest, receive
interest on their building and loan
association shares.
The building and loan associations
collect dues on savings and pay
ments on loans in small month "
payments from their shareholders in
small amounts and deposit them in
banks in large amounts.
When money Is Withdrawn or loans
made. the association draws its
check ON its bank. Their accounts
are among the most desirable the
banks have, because in the turnover
Of business large balance is usu-
ally carried in bank. From 1918 to
1925 the building and loan associa-
lions were heavy borrowers from
the banks because their monthly in.
comes have been insufficient to meet
the demands tor loans.
Their NOTES for discount are one
OF the safest loans the bank makes.
because back of the note are assets
secured by first mortage on real
estate many times the amount of
their obligation to the bank.
In April, 1921, when President.
elect Herbert Hoover was Secretary
OF Commerce, he said: Your as
soeiations, true peoples hanks, popu.
larly controlled and locally managed,
have sprung up voluntarily through
out the country. Through the sys.
tenn of weekly or monthly deposits
by their shareholders they encouf.
age thrift throughout the nation.
Through the system OF amortization
in which the building and loan as.
soeiations were the pioneers, they
have made their assets sound and
worthy OF confidence. Through
loans principally upon homes they
are an instrumentalitJ not only in
solving the housing problem, but in
developing self.reliance of our Ell.
zenry. 1T is my earnest desire that
the building and loan associations
Of the United States should be en-
couraged by the pubiic-spirited citi
zens in every locality"

Three Fundamentals
Among the things that industry

there are three outstanding funda-
mentals Transportation, or railroad

says Mr.. Beardslee. And land that
can offer these things has high
value but 30 important are each Of
these factors that the absence Of

and brain and lungs Of successful
industrial location and the industry
deprived OF any one of these ele-
ments is ruined at the beginning.
1t il the degree in which each
OF these fundamentals Ii present in
an area, in which an industrial site
is located that influences the value
OF that site. In other words. many
industrial sites In a city may have
transportation facilities. which means
railroad facilities for the delivery of
raw materials or distribution of fin
ished products or both: but some
sites or perhaps one site may have
better transportation facilities than
other sites.
Importance Of Overhead
'The reason for The Importance
Of all these fundamentals in Great
ing industrial property values lies
In the Importance OF overhead in
modern business. Every expense CON
nected with the manufacture Of any
product increases the overhead, adds
To the cost OF delivery TO the con.
sumner, and cuts down on the profits
Of its makers. And with the sharp
competition that now exists In al
most every industry. manufacturers
must keep down costs or be UNDER
sold.
And the cost IL distribution OF
q product is becoming more and
more q determining cause Of success
or failure of industry.
If site is inaccessible to rail-
roads and a manufacturer locating
on 1t must pay trucking charges to
have his raw materials hauled from
the freight station TO bis plant and
the finished product hauled hack
for distribution. then these costs
show up in the cost Of his finished
product.

Renewal Assured
In borrowing from a. building and
loan association. there is no anxiety
about his loan being renewed in
three to five years from the date 1t
Is made, as the association cannot
call the loan as long as he keeps the
payments up on it. The payment on
his loan Is very low rent for the
property. and in this way he pays
