ASSETS $840,000.00 To Prospective Building,& Loan Borrowers; Non-resident Building & Loan Companies arc adver tising the fact that they have reduced the monthly payments of borrowers to $1.3.0 per month on each $100.00 borrowed, making the monthly payment the same as the Mutual Build ing & Loan Association of North Platte. They fail to state that of the $1.10 paid tc the non-resident company, there is only thirty-five cents credited as a principal payment, the balance seventy-five cents being 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 on- each $100.00 borrowed in order to discharge the debt than they would if they were doing the business with this Association.
