FIRST FEDERAL
 LOAN ASSOCIATION
Protected Savings Ac= counts Has Made Local
 Company Popular

Less than two and one half years since the opening of its office at 129 West Main street, the First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Waterbury reported assets of over $720,000, as of May 31 1888. Asked to comment on the growth of the association Harold w. Smith secre- tary, said that the plans of saving and home ownership sponsored by the institution were evidently meet ing a local public need.
 Y think it Is now generally known" said MT. Smith, "that the First Fed eral is a local, mutucl association, operating under federal charter and federal supervision. The fact that each savings account is protected by federal insurance up to $5000 has undoubtedly been a factor in in creasing public confidence in the institution. Dividends have been paid at an attractive rate since or- ganization, and the various savings plans, owing to their fiexibility have proved suitable for all types of n- vestors.
 First mortgage loans are made by the association to finance the construction and purchas, of homes" MT. Smith explained "and some re- financing is done as well. Money thus loaned provides for employ ment of building trades and building material workers. and goes to many other groups and enterprises stimu- lating business of the community and further aiding its citizens. Long term, low cost financing is essential today in promoting home-owner- ship. and it appears that the monthly payment system offers the best solution to the financing prob- lem"
