THE Ml'COOK lU'il.lllNO AND SAVI.VUS ASSoriAT ION . The annual uieeiiinc of the .McUook Build , ing and .Savings Association was held in the new First National Bank bulldiiiu , Monda.\ evening. Tliero was a fair attendance ot stockholders , almost 000 shares being repre scntcd. The reports and statenients of the several oflicers , the examining committu and of tiie auditing committee wote read and plac ed on file. Thoreportsundstatements offered iialiciite unmistakably that the association is in excellent and most satisfactory condition. thanks to the eflicient work or the officers and board of directors , who have labored earnest ly and incessantly to advance the best inter ests of the association , and that they have succeeded admirably the December state ment , given elsewhere , bears witness. Fol , lowing the reports was the election of a new hoaid of directors. The efforts of the olo hoard were so satisfactory that they were , with but one exception , all almost unani mously re-elected. The board is now coni- posed as follows : Dr. B. B. Davis , T. B. Campbell , Sam. Strasser , Geo. W. Kaime , Frank Harris , C. II. Meeker , Holmes Blair , < 2eo. B. Berry , Dr. Z. L. Kay. The affairs 1 of the association wiil thus remain under good management the ensuing year. Below we give the reports of President B. B. Davis , Secretary E. E. Lowuiau , Treasurer E. V. Ballew , and also of the examining committee and of the auditing committee : KEPOKT OF TIIK IMtKSIDENT. The MeCook Building and Savings As ocia- tion has almost completed it * lii > t year ol ex istence , and now Uiomj of us to whom ha- liccii entrusted the management ot the asso- eiation appear before thestockholders ; to give an aeiMiiiUol'tlu ; manner in which ffc liavn looked afterour interests. A word or two in regard to the difficulties under whicli your iviiring hoard ol direcun.- has been placed , ll has become the duly ol vour fust , hood to omuli-di many minor n lints which in the nature of the case could ti-il.be foreseen at the tinu : of organization. Like the gradual development of the unwi it- ii-ii law of all i-oipor.itt ; bodies , a large jiart ot' our practices sire based upon precedent. For this reason the iir-t vear's work has been beset with many difficulties. All were new at stn-h work.w ( picstions Ii.tve been con- sUuttlv coming b-foiv us for adjustitit'iit. In d-ctl I may say tlmt at almost everv meeting o * the.directors and there have been 41 meet ings since our nrjratiizatioiioine p.itnt his tirisen which had not previously b.-en ruled upon. At such limes two ipiestions have [ been put , "will it iv strictly just to the bor- tower. " and "will it be strimly jit-t to the n > tu b'irrower ? ' ' If an atlirmalive answer could not be given ! o both these question * : , the point at issue h is been changed until strict justice to all parties his been secured af if .is has been in our power I believe Hi it in the past three years no enterprise has been 1 stnrieil in Mc.Cook whicli has done as much to increase her general prosperity as a city and to.nld t" the welfate and contentment I if her citizens than the Mc'Jonk Building and Savings Association. I'hilaitelphia is built largelv out of the funds of such associations. What is there | peculiarahout Philadelphia ? Almost nil the laboring men own Iheirowu homes , and con scquenlly inor. .Jit. . and sobiiely are lite rule among tiietii [ expect to see the same tiling m MeCook. The general prosperit * . of anv : t4iwn may lie indicated by the propoitton of ! tin * inhaliitants who own their own homes. \n effort is lieing made to form a state ; league of building associationThe object of such a league wool t be lo systematize the leanner of conducting locai nssocjations. iFrom time to time we ni.iv need legis ! itive i -nactnients for our mutual protection or we nav wish to defeat b olilrt legislation which ' tiitv tend Jo do us harm. A state league • ' oiild put it in our power to have some influ ence with tin' powers that li \ L shall hope. • o see the MeCiook association take an tictive part in the state league. nccisinn to thank stock- I take this the - • lolders as a whole , for their uniform courtesy during the time I have been their piesiding oflicer.

ECONOMY pronounced another way , In short , the only thing to do , So while "hard times" the people cry , Though rich in bonds , or worldly poor , The Toilet Soaps they should not buy. The " Ivory Soap" they should procure , Let all who buy such Soaps take care Which may be bought from coast to coast , To weigh the cake exact and fair , At sixteen cents per pound at most , And find they pay in figures round And does more satisfaction grant A dollar , more or less per pound. Than all the Toilet Soaps extant. A WORD OF WARNING. There are manv white soaps , each represented to be "just as good as the'Ivory1 ; " they ARE NOT , but like all counterfeits , lack the peculiar and remarkable qualitiel of the genuine , Ask for "Ivory" Soap and insist upon getting it.
