The Building and Loan associa- '
tions of the State are supervised
from the State Insurance < lommis- i
eioner'e office -in Raleigh. Expert
auditors were sent here to make an
audit of the company. Their report
was adopted as the report of the sec
retary-treasurer to the stockholders.
The report in detail is long, cov 1
ering every item of receipts and ex- .
penditures. It shows 4247 shares i
now in force and unmatured for the
last six series which yield an income
of $4247,00 monthly, not including
interest on loans and fines for fail
ure to pay dues on time.
The report further shows that the
company has 160 first mortgage
loans, aggregating $190,025.00
which yields nearly $1000 per month
interest. In addition to the fore
going there are 26 loans on stock
amounting to $5,650.00.
This company is one of the really
big businesses of the town and one
of the most helpful to the borrower
as well as the investor.
In its 23 years of operation it has
made 407 loans to help build and
improve homes and business houses
The auditors' report as of Feb.
15th shows an annual rate of nearly
eight percent interest which, they
say, "is an exceedingly fine rate,"
and they speak of Mr. Dixon as
"the capable secretary."
A canvass at the close of the
meeting secured 281 shares for the
24th series which opens the 2nd
Saturday in March, but it is hoped
to more than double this ncdtber.
Everyone who can spare extra
dollar per month should take a
share. It cannot be invested so
safely or profitably than with this
company.
