The Mutual Building & Loan Associa
tion Reduces Interest Rates.
The reduction of interest rates made
by this association March 1st, will re
sult in a saving to borrowers, so that on
a new loan of $1000.00, it will require
the payment of $G8.00!oss money to pay
a loan of $1000.00 in this association
than it will in any competing associa
tion; the borrower in each case paying
the required minimum payments. This
is due to the fact that this association
makes a lower interest rate and pays a
bigger dividend than any competing as
sociation. Thos. C. Pattekson, President,
Samuel Goozee, Secretary.
