e. Loan Association has paid
its fifth consecutive quarterly

4 per cent since the start of
1858, President Martin A. Cook
announced today.
The latest quarterly dividend
is for the period ended March

the association books. 1t
amounts to $269,661. Enter
prise was not included in a list

months will amount to around
$50, 900, Mr.. Cook reported.
"It is expected, therefore. that
profit for this year should be
over 5000, 1000 or a 20 per cent
increase from the previous
year." he added.
Assets of Enterprise Federal
Association have reached a
new record of more than $31
