.Notes.
The "Southern" of Knoxville is the old
est and by far the largest general association
in tne soutn, ana is also the largest associa
tion in America.
It has 600 bra iches in 18 states. It is, in
street, a league cf 500 local associations. All
these assocUtious most f il bbfore the asso-
ciution can fail. Therefore, failure is im
Dosaible.
The 'Sonthern ' has turned over from the
expense fund to the loan fund $172,000 iu
five years. No other association has even
aDDroximated such a tecord.
'ihe actual running expense per share is
kt than, in any other association, and on
cash bandied much less than the majority
of the large financial institutions of the
country.
The feature of an anapportioned reserve,
providimc against losses an-i insuring the
perfect equality of all stockholders, will be
appreciated, for the interests of tne many
cannot be sacrificed tor tne Decent oi a lew.
The by-laws forbid the sale, or the use as
collateral security, of any of the securities
belonging to the association, and require all
securities to be kept on deposit in the nam i
of the association with the State Treasurer
or approved trust companies.
