We feel that this is a matter for which we can j ustly t ake credit. 3ut this is not all. In addition to hese home getters, we have 86 non !orrowing shareholders, to whom we vili pay in cash $79,376.50 (a'most a- much as all the dividends paid by t e Banks of the City at this time), which is some money to turn loose in the community at one time.

When this Series is paid off, we will have paid our shareholders over $3,000,000,00 and when it is remembered that this enormous sum of money is trie result of , weekly payments of twenty-five cents and upward, it is almost unbeliveable, even to us, who have handled the actual money. .
