Association's Growth Rapid;
Offices Are Attractive
ly Furnished
In five years the State Savings
and Loan association has grown
to fill an important place in the
financial institutions of Salem
and the Willamette valley. Organ
ized in the latter part of 1924 it
began business in the Becke and
Hendricks real estate office on
January 1, 1925. Under the same
official personnel it has been con
tinued. Its expansion forced 'it to
take independent quarters in the
Oregon building and later in the
First National Bank building. Now
it is moving to ground floor offi
ces at 142 South High street near
the Fox Elsinore theatre. ' ,
The new offices have been at
' tract ively fitted up. A special
front- was installed with marble
base, large plate glass windows.
New furniture has been placed
and the floors covered with lin
oleum in pleasing pattern. A vault
was built for the protection of
valuable records. The association
will open for business Wednes
day, January 15 in its new quar
ters. The State Savings and Loan as
sociation is strictly a mutual en
terprise. It was formed to supple
ment existing facilities for financ
ing of those acquiring homes and
to afford a safe investment for
those desirous of saving money.
It loans only to its members, the
loans are repaid on the monthly
installment plan. Directors serve
largely as a "labor of love." The
rapid and steady growth of the as
sociation attests the aggressive
policy of the management and the
field of useful service which the
, institution has been able to occu
jiv. From resources of $10,000 at
the end of 1925, the first year, the
a? cciation has reached a position
T'ith resources of $391,179.62 at
the close of 1929.
Very few changes have occur
red in its officers and directors.
Karl Becke was originally a direc
tor. Lloyd Farmer, recently de
ceased, was also a director. Ja.
Nicholson was added to the list
of officers and directors since the
nrst organization.

a number of years past been show
ing a most remarkable and con
sistent increase in assets. At the
close of 1928 their investments,
largely mortgages on homes,
amounted to a little over eight
billions of dollars, one-half of
which was accumulated during
the preceding five years. This
large rate of increase will not,
however, be fully maintained for
1929 on account ot unusual con
ditions which developed during
the last half of the year. The pre
vailing abnormally high interest
rates and the credit stringency
prior to the stock market col
lapse, as well, as the speculative
fever which appeared to have
seized a large portion of our pop
ulation, and which caused heavy
withdrawals of funds from build
ing and loan associations, restrict
ed their operations to a consid
erable extent. Notwithstanding
these unfavorable factors, how
ever, the building and loan asso
ciations ended the year showing
a fair-sized increase In their total
resources.
Advance reports received, from
the various states giving carefully
prepared estimates of the total
acy of South Salem. Mrs. McCarty
is Mr. Bernard's only daughter.
William O'Neill and family who

there -are eight billion six hun
dred and six million dollars now
invested in these associations in
the United States, which is an In
crease for the year of four hun
dred and ninety million dollars or
about six per-cent. The estimated
membership is twelve million
members, which is just a' slight
increase over the number report
ed for 1928.
The funds which building and
savings associations accumulate
are loaned out on mortgage se
curity on homes, which is recog
nized as the safest type of invest
ment vhich can possibly be made.
The money disbursed remains in
the immediate locality in which
the association does business and
is employed in building up the lo
cal community. During the year
1929 it Is estimated that the
building associations of the Unit
ed States made mortgage loans
to the amount of one billion,
eight hundred and fifty millions
of dollars, which enables over
five hundred thousand of their
members to enjoy the blessings
of home ownership. In 1928 the
sum so Invested by them amount
ed to two billions ot dollars.
The consistent growth of these
associations during the past 20
years is well shown by the follow
ing comparative figures, by ten
year periods:
Year No. of Assns. Total As.
1909 6,713 856,332,719.
1919 7,788 2,126,620,390.
1929 12,340 8,606,000.000.
Estimated.
Building and loan association
officers have pointed out that in
the northwest for example where
many bank failures occurred es
pecially in farming regions, not a
single failure of a savings and
loan association was reported. In
the recent stock market slump
investors in savings and loan
companies suffered no loss what
ever, pointing to the stability of
their investments.
