A True Story '
About 23-ycars ago there was a fam
ly living In North Platto whoso month
ly expenses' usually balanced tho fam
ily income. About that time the good
wife of the family turned oyer a new
leaf and by retrenchment saved $10.00
n month out of tho family income nnd
placed It with the Mutual Building &
hoan Association.
In 128 months she had paid ln $1280
and In that time her dividends nmoUnt-
ea $720 hiaturlng ton shares, en
titling her to draw out $2000 In cash.
Instead of drnwlng out this money,
she took paid up stock for that aomunt
paying six per cent Interest, amount
ing to $10 per month. This interest
money she applied ln tho payment of
ten moro shares and In 128 months,
theso paymonts with tho dividends
made her another paid up stock cer
tificate for $2000.
She then had $4000 ln paid up stock
bringing an Income of $20 per month.
This Interest money she Is now apply
ing In tho payment of 20 shares of In
"ment stock, which when It ma
tures will make her another $4000 or
!000 in all, upon an Investment of
rnly $10 per month for 128 months, be
ng a total Investment of $1280 of her
noney. All tho rest has been made for
r through tho dlvlddnds paid by the
association.
This Is not an exceptional case.
''ere are hundreds of pcoplo In North
'atte who have had like experience
vlth this home association.
