BUILDING LOANS PERCENTAGE
OF LOSS is LESS

Omaha-the record of building and
.oan associations in Nebraska is out
standing for their relative strength
during the period Of the business de-
preston according to Kirk Griggs;
president Of the Occidental Building
and Loan Association; in an article
in 1.-THE Occidental News"
"The mutual associations Of Neb-
raska have stood up under the trying
experiences of the economic depres-
sion to such an extent that there
should be no question in the minds of
the public regarding the usefulness
and desirability of the associations
as a place for the investment Of saw
ings. l am not advised of any line Of
business which has caused its owners
so small a percentage of loss as
building and loan associations This
is particularly applicable to such in
stitutions in Nebraska said Mr.
Griggs.
Most building and loan ~associa-
tons in the state are paying divid-
ends and there has been little loss to
stockholders in principal investment.
MANY shrewd buyers have been
going through the state trying to
purchase building and loan stock; or
trade other stock or bonds of less
value for it," said Mr.. Griggs.
MANY times we have warned our
stockholders against selling or trad
ing their shares. AS business returns
more nearly to a normal basis; no
doubt building and loan associations
will continue in their very important
work of providing funds for the
building Of homes and offering a safe
place for the accumulation of savings.
