5,000 HOMES BI'ILT IN
THE STATE LAST YEAR
At a Cost of\ More Than $15,000,000.
Said Mr. Wade at Albemarle Today.
Albemarle, N. C., July 19 (By the As
sociated Prpss).—Five thousand homes
were built in North Carolina last year
at a eost of more than fifteen million
dollars. Staeey Vy. Wade, state insur
ance commissioner, declared today in
addressing the North Carolina League of
Building and Loan Associations, in ses
sion here.
. Asserting that records in his office
showed plainly, the state passed through
an unusually prosperous year in 1922,
the commissioner warned the league
nirmbers against "the danger of permit
ting your growth aud demand for ex
pansion to give you such a sense, of
strength that you may temporarily lose
sight of your pledge to your sharehold
ers, to the state, to the basic principle
of the North Carolina Building nnd Isian
nssoeiations v and venture beyond the safe
limits,' of conservative development,
j - "There is a type of individual, foul
scavenger of finance, who preaches spec
ulation; there are certain institutions
[that have lured* thousands into disaster
| with the tempting remark that "•big prof
its do not jeopardize the safety of invest
ment.'" said Mr. Wade.
"They only prostitute thrift, and serve
no better purpose than to poison tlie
minds of people toward safe and proper
investments. Our building and loan as
sociations have done a wonderful work
toward counteracting this pernicious ad
vice amt they deserve more support, more
encouragement, and more honorable men
tion than they get.
"Their influence in this respect is not
i a matter of personal opinion, but has
been proven by a comparison of condi
tions in those states that do not encour
age building and loan associations and
where they are less active than in North
Carolina.

THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
a letter from an official in Texas, deplor
ing the backwardness of his state in a pi'
plying the principle As thrift, and askipg
fer some advice as. to how he could stim.
umte an interest in building and loan
associations. I suppose, after all. that
Texas :s hopeless, for all their mouey
tnust be invested in oil wells, judging
by the efforts they have made to dupe
our people with oil stock and three i>er
cent, loan contracts.
"But for tlie comity which should ex
ist between stare officials I would have
i Told him that we attributed our interest
in building and lonn associations largely
to the fact that we had run out of North
( amiina all those schemes imported
: from Texas which have for their appar
ent object tlie making or millionaires ov
er night, instead of substantial citizens,
and that there even the unborn claim the
rißht of birth in their own home. And.
gentlemen, we have waited too long for ;
the opportunity to serve our people.
“Why neglect them until they Want,
to build a home, wlic n by starting in
childhood they might reach their major
it.v v. s landlords?
“I feel that milch of tlie difficulty ex
pericuced by our associations in meeting
the demand for lohns lies in the fact that
they appeal mainly to the grownups, the
majority of whom take shares purposely
to borrow ami that they neglect to edu
cate and attract the youth who might
lay the foundation of a home even in his
school days. I am confident that if we
concentrated our efforts toward this end.
the incoming generation would have no
housing problem. for every citizen
would own his home, and we be no long
er perplexed by the increasing tendency
rd issue paid up stock as an emergency
treasure.
"This brings nip to the subject of my
address, which simply inquires whether
we shall emphasize the profits of oar as
sociations as of greatest importance, or
their safety as of permanent interest.
"Shall we make ‘safety- first' our rul
ing motto, or shall we work in league or
endeavor to compete with the spell
binding promoter who will stoop to any
level to fill his till with you/ coin?
"I believe that every building and
loan secretary in the state who is pub
lie spirited enough and has the civic
pride and interest in the future citizen

the conduct of a building and loan as- [
Roeiation, is vitally interested also in
awaking it first of all a safe association. |
I "Looking to its safety, then yve must !
consider not only the value of the col-1
lateral upon which loans are made, but j
first whether the condition in the coup I
inunity is such as to demand and sup- ■
port a building and loan association. In
many instances associations are organ
ized as a result of friction among stock
holders of an existing association, where
the limited population of the commun
ity points to a natural lack of support,
and makes ultimate liquidation or trans
fer an obvious consequence.
"in other cases, they qre formed os
tensibly to feed insurance and real es
tate enterprises, without regard as a
teacher of thrift, a builder of homems
and citizens. In all such cases, the
building and loan cause is materially
weakened either by the abuse of its
power, or neglect of the interest of its
shareholders."
Mr. Wade declared officers and stock
holders must be familiar .with the opera
tion of their association and devote full
time to its affairs. Delay in granting
loans, where the applicant is eligible, re
sults in general dissatisfaction, lie add
ed.
I The present tendency, he continued,
jof associations to issue paid up stock
beyond what was considered safe limibi
i was disapproved of except as an emergen
cy measure, when even then it should be
approached with caution and the amount
limited to not more than fifty per cent,
of the instalment shares. The increase
of file bending ability of associations, by
the wider sale of instalment shares, even
in small amounts, firms and corporations
not expected to borrow, was favored by
the commissioner.

The McWade Automatically Sealed Inner Tube Is the Best Value Of
fered in Tubes.
Mr. E. Ij. Womble, Agent, Raleigh, N. C
Dear Sir: , May 3, 1923. '
Yeis, sir, I have been wanting to give you a testimonial ever since
I got my eight'tubes last month. I have talked tubes ever since. Folks
joke and tell me I must be a secret agent. But la.vink jokes aside these
are the best tubes I have ever seen. I would not be without mine for
anything. I have never blown up since purchasing them.
I can certainly recommend the MeWade Automatically Sealed tube
to anybody. My ear rides a lot easier. I have two cars and bought a
set for each, 33x4 and 34x4 1-2. I want people to know about them.
Yours truly,
