MOVES TO NEW HOME
The firm of Carter and Trotter,

their new location on the corner of
Main and Innes streets.
The firm is composed of J. R.
Trotter and Sam Carter and began

tk-n, 112 North Main street.
TTie building to be occupied has
been completely remodled and new
composition floor laid, and many
other improvements added that will
a d the firm in having one of the
most up to date drug firms in the
state.
B. & L. Groups May
Extend Maturities
Building and Loan associations in
North Carolina are now considering
and may soon adopt a plan of ex
tending maturities of budding and
loan stock over a greater number of
years, thus permitting the man with
a small income to get into the class
of home owners at a smaller cost,
O. K. LaRoque, director of the
Bunlding and Loan division of the
state insurance department, states.
Heretofore, the associations were
required to have the money on hand
for investors who are not borr iwers,
then their stock matured in some
less than seven years, but the Home
Loan bank, soon to fee established for
this district in Winston-Salem, will
provide them with these needed
funds and permit them to carry for
longer periods other share holders
who are paying for homes, he said.
Illustrating, he said that 2S shares
of building and loan stock r"i-ire
payment of $25 a month, or if a
loan for that amount is taken out by
the share purchaser, the interest of
*12.50 brings the total payment to
$37.50 a month, in order to mature
it in slightly less than seven years.
Plan Longer Maturities
On the other hand, the share pur
chaser who borrows to pay for or
build a home, could pay $25 a month
I
$12.50 on the loan and $12.50 inter
est, and mature his shares in appro
ximately 12 years. The point Mr.
LaRoque makes is that if some of
the shares of building and loan asso
ciations are so timed as to mature in
about 12 years, instead of about sev
en, the payments would be reduc
ed about one-third and a large class
of citizens, unable to pay the prin
cipal and interest payments now,
wouild be brought into the group
under the reduced payments of home
purchasers and owners.
Mr. LaRoque has been advocating
this plan and numbers of the asso
ciations are looking upon it with
favor, now that the Home Lean
banks are soon to be permanent ad
juncts and will be prepared to sup
ply the associations with the fund.;
needed, thus permitting them to car
ry the share holders over a longer
period than they could have done
without the Home Loan bank help.
$300,000,000 INSULL LOSS
U. S. District Judge Lindley told
stockholders of the Insull utility cor
porations last week they may as well
write their investment of $300,000,
000 off as a loss. Creditors of the
Corporation Securities company and
the Insull Utility Investments may
receive a dividend, he said, but the
stockholders can expect none.
