How you can ease
he tight money marif
in North Carolina! ^
Today there is very little money available for
making home loans.
Money is tight!
You can help relieve this “tight money" condition
by saving at your local savings and loan association.
Sound too simple? Not at all! You see, on the
average, 98 cents out of every dollar saved at a sav
ings and loan association in North Carolina is put to
work in your community.
It provides jobs for Realtors, home builders,
plumbers, carpenters, masons, electricians, landscape
gardeners, retail merchants-just about everybody.
These people, in turn, buy groceries, clothing,
contribute to your local tax dollars, churches and
United Fund which starts the cycle all over again.
Sound simple? It is-because we control our own
economy. The way to ease the “tight money" market
in North Carolina and the way to provide for new
homes, more jobs and more purchases in our local
stores is to save at your local savings and loan
associations.
