Then And Now
Six months ago, taking our
cue fpm. the News and Ob
server but dispensing with
italics The Advance said:
"More than ordinary interest at
taches to the announcement that the
Albemarle Building & Loan Associ
ation is about to open a new series
of building and loan shares.
"The building and loan associa
tion Is no ordinary business enter
prise. It is a home building institu
tion and as such commands the sup
port of every good citizen.
"That is why in various towns of
the State, in which the housing prob
lem Is acute, there have been cam-, $
paigns recently, hinniMneu u.r
chamber of commerce or other civic
organizations, for the sale of build
ing and loan shares.
"The Advance wonders why some
organization cannot be effected to
make a thorough canvass of Eliza
beth City for the sale of shares In
the Albemarle Building & Loan As
sociation as this new series opens
"No more hopeful sign of Eliza
beth City's future is to be seen than
the number of new homes that are
eolne ud in better residence sections
where houses are owned by those
who live in them. The Albemarle
Building & Loan Association has fos
tered this movement and contributed
more, The Advance ventures to as
sert, to the era of home building in
which the town now finds itself than
any other single factor.
"If some plan could be devised
whereby every wage earner or sal
ary worker In the city could be ap
proached while this series Is open
and given an opportunity to sub
scribe to ibullding and loan shares It
would be one of the biggest things
done in a decade 1,0 Insure the fu
ture Krowth and well being of Eliza
beth City."
The suggestion bore no fruit
at that time but The Advance
is delighted that the Chamber
of Commerce has decided to
help along the sale of shares
of the sixteenth series of the
Albemarle Building and Loan
stock. Here's hoping that the
Chamber will throw itself into
this campaign without reserva
tion and with an enthusiasm
that will win hearty co-operation
and ready response
throughout the city.
We have just received another shipment of Oriental
and Domestic Rugs and we are anxious that our cus
tomers call and look them over. We are confident that
we can please you both as to quality and price.
