Carrying B. & L. Shares has proven to
he the best plant for Shelby and Cleve
land county folks to own their homes.
Come in and let us tell you more about it.
If you want a home, start your shares
now, build later. By having your shares in
advance helps to get your loan through
more quickly.

it would cost you $10.98 per week to car
ry loan to maturity—-this includes inter
est and dues—at the end of 332 weeks,
the loan will be paid up in full, and you
will have paid on loan including interest,
$3,645.36—You can’t beat it.
