that has more than bigness and
more than intimacy; it has soul.

it runs the full gamut of entertain

of romance, a wealth of pathos, a
wealth of comedy There are spec

1888 WAS EXCELLENT
YEAR; VERY FEW
DELINQUENTS

Redwood Falls Building and
Loan association was incorporated
May 26, 1924. It's charter expires
May 26, 1854.
Members of the first board of
directors (being charter men,
bers) were w. C. Weldon, E. l..
Gallea, D. w. Gold, c. H. Schultz,
George A. Barnes, w. M. Smith,
R. A. Cooper, J. w. Inglis, c. H.
Baldwin, Fred Orth and F. w.
Stanton.
First officers were, r. A. Coop
er, president; c. H. Schultz, vice
president; F. w. Stanton, secre-
tary; E. L. Gallea, treasurer and
George A. Barnes, attorney.
Their first real estate loan was
made in August 1923 and granted
to Mrs. Anna E. Ward and Harry
w. Ward. The first loan for the
new construction of home was
not made until May 1928. 1t took
four years of earnest work on the
part of directors to get our people
interested in building new homes,
but since that date the association
has helped in the financing of 80
new homes in Redwood Falls and
in adjoining towns.
Another valuable feature of our
building and loan association is its
savings department, monthly pay
ments ranging from $1.00 month
to $4,000 a month. We allow in
terest on these savings at the rate
of per cent credited every six
months. We have paid to members
on matured stock and Withdraw
ais over $4,000 since our organ
ization. Many parents have had
the school money for their chill
dren when they were ready to go
away to college or the university.
1888 Was Good Year
It is pleasure to report to the
members and friends of the Red
wood Falls Building and Loan
association a most constructive
year in serving the public inter-
est. A building and loan associa-
ton, possibly more than any other
institution engaged in the gather
ing and disbursement of money,
is carrying on great public SER
vice, making possible things vast
majority of people ought to have.
Such is the responsibility which
your association accepted when it
was chartered Is years ago.
Our assets increased during
1888. We advanced large sum of
money to borrowers. Our favor
able cash position has been main
tanned. There has been a substan-
tial addition to reserves. We have
distributed earnings at per

rowing and investing side of the
association to give serious thought
to the trend of taxes and interest
rates. There has been continual
bombardment of interest rates for
the past six or seven years. Year
after year the saver is expected to
get along with less and less return
on his investment, in order that
the man borrowing money may
have better advantage The rate
of taxation on real property re-
mairs one of the chief reasons
why many people do not attempt
to own their homes. They feel that
it does not pay.
If you are contemplating build
ing a home, buying a home, re-
pairing or remodeling your home,
come into the Building and Loan
office and we will gladly give you
our loan plan and assist you all
we can. We have house plans that
may help you. If you want to start
a saving fund for yourself or the
children come in and learn of our
wonderful savings plan, or if you
have idle funds seeking invest
