Seattle and Springfield, Mass. officers of various Industrial Ranks were tfsk ed concerning the institution, and re plied with Hie strongest of endorse ments. Realizing that the time is rl for such un institution in Concord, sever al local people who will lie joined by others from distant cities, will short ly apply for a charter lo nMn one here. The borrower secures the endorse ment of two of his fellow workers showing thnt he Is a reliable person, secured the amount of money needed, provided that it la an ninount which cWes within the class of small bor rowings, and then to secure his loan, he takes out a cert i Ilea to i of stock, pays tt specified amount each week and then nt tbe expiration of a year, the union nt iar week lieing arranged so na tis meet the amount of the note after a. yeavjtkaivhe Ja-Mnrwlto Tff tShrfh nWTne M is paid in advance. Taking for illustration, a $o0.00 loan is made as follows: The liorrower gives his note, (with two co-workers) for $n0.00 dtie "ii weeks later and pays (! per ceat. in terest in advance and a fee of one dollar. He then agrees to purchase til the rate of $1.00 a week for .TO weeks, a Class "One" certificate of Invest ment. This certificate, which as a rule liears no interest when hyiiothecated is assigned as additional collateral for the loan. At the end of 50 weeks I he liorrower has imiil tflO.OO on this cer tificate: two weeks later his note be comes due: he can then withdraw tin1 IfS&M) pnid on the certificate, pay the note and the transaction is closed. Books of subscription are opened for this hunk and the necessary capital is furnished by the subscribers, ($25,000 lieing the minimum allowed by the State), puyment for the shares sub scribed to lie called for as' needed. An annual dividend is guaranteed on the stock, which Is divided into shares of $100.00 each. The surplus derived from the earnings is credited to this stock, making its book value, and a dividend not exceeding (i per cent. Is paid upon this hook value annually The book or sole value of the stuck increases each year, hence the stock holders get increased dividends each year. The safety of the investments are secured by this enforced neeniuu latlon of a surplus. All Industrial hunks earn at least 10 lier cent This industrial system of hanking which cupittilixes the earnings of the lalKH-er, is not. strictly n eo-npenitlve bank. II lends money on personal In dorsements, thus taking the moral risk. Actual tangible collateral Is not required, no chattel mortgages or the like lieing taken. A remarkable fea ture of this institution which does not secure Its loans as other Institutions do, is that its losses are negligible. The Norfolk company, during two years has lost never a cent, while the Atlanta company has lost hut ortuj small loan, this being due to a forgery at the beginning, of business, 'fhe Washington, Baltimore and other com panies have experienced no losses. Kach week the Industrial Bank re ceives from Itorrowera, in imyment on the Class "One" Certificates purchased and pledged as collateral, nn' amount of 2 per cent, otnhelr loans. There fore in addition to loaning out lta ciinital stock at fl per cent, the Indus trial Bank re-loans 2 per cent, of Ihls capital each week, earning na nddl tional 0 per cent, on this; it also re loans at (1 per cent, two iter cent, on each new loan ; ami also reloans all the Interest deducted on advances.
