In the credit field a wide variety of losns-busness and personal
are available. Ever seeking to properly serve the credit needs of u
community. The Bank of Wilmington actively soicits all types of con-
structive loans: Commercial, Collateral, Real Estate, Automobile,
Aircraft. Morris Plan Comaker, Modernizaton, as well as many 9TH
es. The bank also handles all types of sales financing for automo-
bile, appliance, and aircraft dealers.
One of the most popular types of loans is the FILA Title T Mod
ernization loan. This loan came into being in 1898 a S a result of
governmental desire to iberaHze credit so that property improve
ments might be made which, of course, meant that building materials
moved and men were put to work.
The Bank of Wilmington qualified at once to handle these loans
and since 1888 has extended approximately $500, 900 modernization
credit to property owners without the necessity of requiring a mort
gage r other collateral or endorsers.
FILA Title I financing is beneficial to both the builder-contractor
and the property owner. The contractor gets MS money Immediately
his work is finished-and the property owner has a. long as SO months
for payment in convenient monthly installments.
Quite often the entire credit arrangements are made by the con-
tractor.
The simple short application form is filed and approved, and
the note secured only by the signature of the property owner is dis
counted for the contractor upon his certifying that the work is COM
pleted, without the necessity of the borrower even visiting the bank.

In MemOriam

In loving memory of our mother
and grandmother, Mrs. Anna E.
Gromann, who was called to her
eternal home one year ago, Novem-
ber s, 1916.
Some may say we are not lonely
When at times they see US smile,
Little do they know the heartaches
That we suffer all the while.
She bade no one last farewell,
She said goodbye to none;
The heavenly gates had opened
And a sweet voice said come.
We think of you in silence,
No eyes can see us weep,
But deep within our aching hearts
Your memory we will keep.
Sadly missed by daughter
and grandchildren,
Mr.. & Mrs. Cleon Henry & children,
Margaret, Morris & Allen Groman.

THREE NAVAL OIL RESERVES MAYBE
 up FOR LEASING
Senate Committee Make! Suggestion for Addi-
 lion, Public Domain

WASHINGTON, Feb. l. - The Senate Oil Investigating Committee suggested that the three Naval oil reserves in this country be turned back to the public domain for leas- ing.
 The reserves are Teapot Dome in Wyoming and Elk Hills and Buena Vista Hills in California.
 A fourth reserve, in Alaska, was not included because exploration there has only started"
 The Committee said in it's final report that the three western re- serves are estimated to have 376,- 900 barrels of recoverable oil.
 Tt is obvious the report said, that the amount of oil producible daily from these modest reserves would constitute but slight assist ance in the event of war.
 The huge supply requisite for war purposes can best be assured by the existence of a strong pri- vate industry which is already in full operation when the emergency CcCms."
