A business arrangement has just been concluded which may mean much to the upbuilding of the city. The Prudential Insurance company of Newark, N. J., has decided to open a loan department here through which money will be loaned on business and residence property. The establish ment of this office was made primar ily through the efforts of Hodges, Mitchell & Reynolds, local agents of the company, and the Wachovia Iiank & Trust company Is the Institution selected by the Insurance company to act as local loan agent The develop ment of the business and residence sections of the city will not now lie entirely dependent on local capita). A few weeks ago the company sent here L. W. Whtteley to investigate business conditions and real rotate vulues with a view to locating a loan otrice in 'Asheville. He talked with business men and officials of the board of trade and visited various parts of the city. Evidently he was satisfied with what he saw. and with the future of Asheville, since the com pany was not long in coming to a decision in regard to the matter. The naming of the Wachovia Bank & Trust company as the loan agent was made at his recommendation. Before Mr. Whlteley came here the local agents were endeavoring to se cure a loan on local property, and he was sent to Investigate. It was while he was here that the local agents took up with him the matter of hav ing a loan office here. Incidentally they secured the loan. This Is the first insurance company to establish a loan office here, al though others have loaned money on business real estate. It would be Im possible to estimate the amount the company Is likely to place on local realty, but it Is considered one of the strongest in the world. PARCELS POST MATTER - ' w .
