Own Your Own Home
Did you ever hear of a joy
institution which pays its em
ployees on the happiness they
can get out of inducing their
friends to have what they here
tofore have in the habit of
throwing away? I get no salary
nor no thanks for the work I for
the Raeford Building and Loan
Association. i
This is a business which pays
joy and pays,you in profits by
sawpping you a dollar for every
seventy-eight cents you in vest,
and that lends you your own
money back at the same time at
the annual rate of only .021 per
for term of six and a half years.
Your own home-town bank
won’t do that for love or any
thing else. If you want to save
your money and build you a
