Federal Savings And
Loan Association Is
Explained by Pate

The following address was deliv-
cred BY Robin Pate, vice president
OF the Brownsville Federal Savings
and Loan association, before Valley
women attending The Brownsville
Heralds Happy Kitchen Cooking
School last week at the junior col
lege auditorium.
In June. 1888, congress passed
an Act creating Federal Savings
end Loan associations, this was done
in order to provide a means NIiC.S
people could invest their funds
safely and likewise. to assist in
sound and economical financing OF
homes.
In June, 1894. congress, through
its wisdom, passed the National
Housing Act, the purpose OF which
u TO encourage improvement IN
housing standards and conditions.
and TO provide a system OF mutual
mortgage insurance.
Now what does the passage OF
these measures and the organiza-
ton of the Brownsville Federal Saw
ingS and Loan association mean 10
you wives, mothers and sweetheaTtS
assembled here today?
In Just a few words, 1t simply
means that there Is now located III
the Valley, an institution capable OF
making loans for the purpose OF
building new homes, remodeling
homes, or refinanclng existing
loans on homes, or within certain
limits, We will loan you the money
with which TO purchase a home.
There Is now no reason why you
should not be able 10 renovate your
homes, build that home which so
many Of you often desired, or TO
refinance your home al a lower rate
of interest, provided OF course tnat
you are not already paying a low
er rate than seven per cent.
This is the object OF the Nation
al Housing Act. and one purpose
OF the organization OF the Browns
Vile Federal Savings and Loan As
ISOLATION.
although this association IS al
the present time interested mainly
in ~remodeling and constructing
homes. the main purpose OF the
association is TO provide Tor the IN
weston. both large and small. a mu-
tual. local thrift institution based
upon sound time-teSted financial
principals.
IF YOU are in reality that house
wife which YOU want TO be, as DEM
onstrated by your attendance mere
today, there should be some place
in your household budget for regu-
lar and systematic savings.
1T has been some time since
most OF YOU have heard a talk on
thrift and savings, but ! am gong
To devote the remainder OF my time
TODAY in discussing the federal
way to thrift and home ownership.
Thrift has for years been the
outstanding virtue OF the American
people. and IL Is due TO this one
sterling characteristic that has en-
abled our government 10 withstand
the assaults of war. internal dis
ruption, and depression.
Most OF YOU who have made
savings in the past. have zen them
fade into darkness. and you are
starting over again. Most people
have found BY e~.2e;r.'ce that the
easiest way to aNe money Is 70 put
away a definite sum each month
that is. they desire TO build their
own financial independence on the
irstallme2t plan. Our association
offers installment thrift shares de-
signed precisely for this class OF
investor. Not only do we offer
these shares, but we pay a bonus
