Has 6,136 Shares in Force;
Aided in Building 43
Homes in 1886

In 1912 a new form of savings was
introduced in Henderson with the or
panization of the Home Building &
Loan Association, which began bust
ness on May 3 of that year. It has
grown rapidly, especially in recent
years. and is one of the soundest and
largest and most aggressive concerns
of it's kind in this section of North
Carolina.
The company today has 6,136
shares of stock in force, held by SGT
shareholders, of whom so are colored
citizens of the community.
At the present time the company
holds mortgages in the sum of $751;
1859, represented in investments in
homes in Henderson and it's suburbs.
In 1886 it assisted in the financing of
43 homes.
From the beginning the association
has matured all of its series on time
and always has earned in excess of
six percent fer it's shareholders, even
during the darkest days of the de-
preston.
When the association was formed
in Nav 1912, w. A. Hunt, prominent
Henderson banker, was elected presi-
dent. and has served continuously in
that capacity since, or during the en-
tire history of the association, and al
ways without compensation. Last
spring the association presented him
a silver loving cup in recognition of
his services to the association.

CITIZENS REALTY

Formed in 1914 and Con-
tinuously in Business
Since That Time

1t is an honor and distinction to
be the leader in any field Of activity.
and perhaps doubly so for business

urer. All are dead. Mr.. Harris hav-
ing been killed in France during the
World War. where he was captain
of infantry.

ham took charge of the company and
ever since has been it's president,
treasurer and general manager. His
wife, Mrs. Cheatham, is the vice-pres-
ident and r. E. Clements is secretary.
The company does a large insur-
ance and realty business, writing fire
and liability risks and operating an
extensive rental agency. It's rent col
lections represent many of the largest
property owners of the city.

lent of access and within easy reach
of it's large clientele.

ing the oldest firm in it's field, is
