The call was sounded last wee!: c< when a number of the town's promi- at nent citizens determined on a con- ,n certed move for the relief of conditions arising from the shortage of dwelling houses. : Realizing that the growth ar.d r'e- Ji,n velopment of Chesterfie'd is h"ing held, at a standstill by the impossi-t''1 bility of securing1 residences iorfcl families wishing to come here to I.ve, i meeting was heW at the Courthouse . ni last Monday night to discuss and drt- 1 /ise means or meeting the situation. 1 *,L It was dcciued that a building and ')l oan association offered the bfest solution of the problem. The rapid '' arrowth of many of our neighboring nties in North CarolinjCwas cited as co in example of what this method of ?ncouraging and assisting the home v milder has done. Wadesboro ami ae Monroe undoubtedly, owe much of *c heir civic welfare, progress and J)U irosperity to building and loan or- ')l1 animations. The cotton mill and nitting mill.of Cheraw were financed , n this w;?y. I a By inquiry and investigation it has *'v >een ascertained that the building ind loan plan is responsible in a large so Measure for the flourishing condition if every town or city in the South, ; md, in fact, in the-United States, Nt* hat has attracted . attention by its n<) apid progressive strides. Several of Chesterfield's wellmown and highly successful business ce nen got their first homes and na ;ot their start through joining a 'a luiiding and loan society. It was therefore decided at last ilonduy night's meeting that Chester- ^ ield should have such an organizuion. A temporary chairman ^vas lected and Mr. C. C. Douglass was TL nude temporary secretary. The following gentlemen, upon oil call, subscribed for stock in the imposed association: W. 1). Craig, C. C. Douglass, A. F. )avis, Rev. 11. J. (luess, A. W. Hurey, F. G. 1 learn, 1*. If. Hearn, C.

"The Home Building and Loan As- Ij ociation" was decided upon as the lost appropriate name, the object ? cing to build homes in the home own. C. C. Douglass and F. G.
