Let's Make It We're talking about savers. Kings Mountain Building & Loan association enjoyed a big growth during 1955 in both the volume of savings accounts and in total number of persons on our savings list. During 1955, the number of persons holding savings accounts in this association increased to 893 compared to only 715 at the end of the previous year. That means we only need 107 to reach the 1,000-mark. Of course, we don't want to stop there, but that's our immediate goal. Why open a savings account? There are many reasons. Among them is the advan tage savers get by establishing a fast-growing nest egg which enables them to make down payments on new homes, new cars, or the youngster's education. Another reason is to prepare an umbrella for raising on a rainy day. Another reason is to earn additional money through our liberal sharing of earnings. Just last week, the association paid dividends for the last six months of the year totaling $19,647.56. Our current dividend rate is 3%. Join our growing savings group today. You'll be glad that you did. SAVINGS DEPOSITS MADE BY TUESDAY. JANUARY 10 Earn Dividend Credit From January 1
