Cooperative B.-L. Association
Receives Insurance Certificate

Wilmington have at some time or
other asked for the home-financing
facilities of this institution, it was
said.
Not only has it set up such a
fine mortgage lending record for
the community but it has provided
exceptional thrift facilities over the
AZ. years without any investor eyer
having had a loss. With the open
ing of the new building, the as
ISOLATION decided to add still fur.
Their to its thrift services by pro.
viding the protection of the FEEDER
al Savings and Loan Insurance
Corporation.
MI. Fallon congratulated the Of
ficers and directors of the associa-
ton for their decision to obtain
this insurance. The association has
for a long time been a member
of the Federal Homie Loan Bank
of Winston-Salem and thus is able
to make use of the vast resources
Of the nationwide Federal Home
Loan bank system.
