That means a weekly income of $202.25 from the last series alone, which will enable us ot make two $500.- 00 loans per month if we only had the 28th., to back us up. But we have about 900 other shares, and we average making one $500.00 loan every week. We said when we came here that we would double the number of shares in force within a year, but we've done it in less than six months. That's going s>>me for Forest Cit'y. But listen friends, within a year we'll have one of the largest Building and Loan Associations in western North Carolina. This is the place to invest your spare change. Buy prepaid shares at $72.50 if you desire to invest it in lump sums. That pays you six per cent. You Can Buy Shares In the 28th Until February 8 Forest City B. & L.
