The Commercial Building and Loan
Association \v s organized by enter?
prising men of the community to fos?
ter systemata saving, to encourage
more people to build and own their
own homes, thereby having more and
better citizens, and to general?
ly promote the commercial interests
of the city and county. Already it has
met with unusual success and bids fair
to become one of the most helpful
of the many institutions already or?
ganized here for the encouragement
of those trying to put aside a com?
petence for the future. Probably no
(Aber organization has such a widely
representative gathering numbered
among its stoc kholders. From both
the ? ity and county requests for mares
have come in and even now sub?
scribers are being added daily. The
association will be run on the same
plan that has* oroven eminently suc
ceasful in Chi lotte, Columbia, Wil?
mington, Atlaiaa, and other cities, and
bids fair to prove just as successful
in Sumter, with the cordial support
of the people of Sumter city and
county.
The capital stock, as authorized, is
one million dollars divided into 10,000
shares at the matured value of $100
each.
The people ?f Sumter could not do
a better thing for Sumter than to en?
courage this association in every way
and to give their patronage as the
upbuilding of Sumter adds to the
happiness and prosperity of every
citizen.
