ASSETS $840,000.00 To Prospective Building & Loan Borrowers; Non-resident Building & Loan Companies are adver tising the fact that they have reduced the monthly payments of borrowers to $1.10 pcFmonth on each $100.00 borrowed, making the monthly payment the same as the Mutual Build-4 ing & Loan Association of North Platte. They fail to state that of the $1.10 paid to the non-resident company, there is only thirty-five cents credited as a principal payment, the balance seventy-five ccnts'fyeing taken for interest. Of the $1.10 monthly payment to this association on each $100.00 borrowed sixty cents is for interest and fifty cents is credited as a principal payment." ' This difference in the amount credited the borrower will result in the borrower in the non-resident company be ing compelled to pay not less than $25.00 more oii each a $100.00 borrowed in order ,t,o discharge the debt than they would if they were doing the business with this Association. i .- Mutual Building. & Loan Association OF NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA. -IT" Land Values Average value per Average value per iThe Us S.
