A Century
of Service
The Building and Loan Associations of
this country have enjoyed a most en
viable record ,; . . thirteen thousand
of them have served the public during
the past century . . . made possible hit
ier living for the American people.
Now, while public confidence in all
classes of financial institutions is
undern'oinn4 a severe si rain, Building
and Loan points with pride to its en
viable record . . .there has been but
one dishonest and disloyal worker
anions; the many thousands of men and
women associated with these associations.
On January 3rd, 1831, the first building and loan asso
ciation in this country was organized under picturesque
and dramatic circumstances.
... ' '
During a hundred years of growth, the building and
loan associations of this country have had an interest
ing and enviable history. 1
January 3rd, 1931, marks the end of this century of de
velopment, and, as we in this business look back over
the years, we find a brilliant record of achievements,
brought about by the building and loan associations,
that touch many phases of the nation's political and
economic life.
The .fact that these building and loan associations, by
actual count, have been responsible for the creation of
more than 8,000,000 American firesides, stands as a
record of service to the communities throughout the na
tion where these homes have been located.
