Credit Union Is Success Story The Fieldcrest Mills Credit Union now has assets of more than $5 million and has paid a total of $1,012,128 in dividends to members since its organization. The Credit Union has loaned approximately $21 million in over 105,000 separate loans. These loans have helped members in financial emergencies, with medical bills, consolidation of debts, taxes, purchase of large appliances, and a variety of other ways. Even more important than the loans are the employees’ savings made possible by the Credit Union. In addition to having received over $1 million in dividends (interest on their savings) the members own the over $5 million in assets, in cluding their share accounts, plus the interest on their savings and income from investments. The Credit Union for several years has been paying 6 percent interest per annum on savings. While paying the top rate on savings, the Credit Union a few years ago reduced the interest charged on loans from 1 percent to nine-tenths of 1 percent a month on the unpaid balance. From its beginning, the purpose of the Credit Union has been threefold: to encourage systematic savings, to make loans to members; and to help members handle their finances in a more adequate manner. The accumulated savings are used to make low-cost loans to members to make important purchases or tide them over emergencies. The Credit Union is run by its members and is entirely owned by them. All benefits from the successful operation of the Credit Union are returned to the members. Fieldcrest Marketing Division Has Sales Meets (Continued from Page One) a divisional recap and forecast.
