District Second to New Jer-

Per Capita.

Assets of building and loan associa-
tiCns in the District total S179.56 per

State of New Jersey. according to Nor

League.
Five States and the District have re-
sources in their home- financing insti-
tutions averaging more than 500 per

Massachusetts,, s124.10. Maryland

several States and their resources as

Mr.. Bodfsh points out that all but
three of the States in these groups have
had building and loan associations
since before 1870. and thus have had
the opportunity of long period in
which to build up their home mortgage
resources.

Not Lending Associations.
TOO many people in all of the States
think of the association only as lend
ing institution. They do not realize
that more than Is per cent of the
entire savings Of this country are in

tions. In the States where the citi-

to lift this average for the country.
First, the Federal Home Loan Banks

resources available to the building and

Saving and Loan Association funds set
aside by the United States Treasury

the building and loan associations

The National Association Of Real

The corporation will accept any exist
