CHESTERFIELD NOW ORGANIZING
ASSOCIATION FOR 111
THAT PURPOSE a<
, ,
Chesterfield has been awasened by :'x
the call of progress.
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,

langum, W. 1'. Odom, B. F. Teal. U.
1. Therrell, W. J. Tiller, W. P. Swinley
and H. A. Watson.
"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. Hearn Bu
'ere appointed as stock solicitors to ge]
anvass immediately the town. C. 1'. ,
langum, (j) c. Douglas and B. F. ,TU
eal wore made a committee to inves 'n<'
igate methods of organization and do,
nrrying on the business. pej
A 'meeting was called at the Court- .
ouse for next Monday evening, Sepnnben
22d, at 8:20 o'clock, for the 1
urpose of forming the permanent an<
rgnnization and electing officers and He
i rectors. t.|u
The Investigating Committee has
rranged for Thomas A. Marshall, of

organization a success.
All who have subscribed t'or .stock,
e urj?enify requested to be present
; Monday's meeting to form the
. rnmnent organization. Every < iti-1
!ti of Chesterfield, who has the least
ilerest in the the welfare of the
>unty seat at heart is requested just
> urgently to be on hand, 'l'he tneetg
will be an open one and the
re.scnce of everyone is desired.
The building anil loan plan enables
e ower of a lot to eredt a home on
nr.ll monthly payments. A stock
>)d?r may borrow for the purpose of
rhiing Recording to the amount of
ock. he liolds. A stoekhidder may
crease the amount of his stock to
cet his building requirements.
The association may invest in
hidings for retnal, in re;i! estate for .
hidings, in factories, oil mills, eotn
mills, in fact in whatever it may
icide is a safe investment for the ,
itterment and advancement of ih<>
mm unity. >
The immediate object of t ho prcs- :
it movement is to encourage and '
Ip people to build homes in Chesrfield
and to build homes for rental
irposes and for sale, in short to
lild homes in our home town.
That the movement is timely is
tested by the favt that there is-now
demand for at least twenty-five
yelling houses in Chesterfield. I
The Home Building and Loan As- |
ciation can build them if it receives] i
e support it is entitled to.
Building and loan stock is an instinent?not
a charity. You .are '
t asked to give, hut to invest, in- I
st at good interest ami, invest in |
ur home town, the town whose sue- i
ss means your success, whose stallion
