IN TEN YEARS, HOMES FOR A POPULATION OF __ 1 5 5,9 6 4 C|j For over half a century the home owners of Marion County have enjoyed the aid of building and loan associations. In this fifty-seven-year period Marion County associations have financed thousands of homes. In the ten years from 1921 to 1931 alone they financed either the building or the purchase of 38,991 homes . . . enough homes for a population of 155,964 people. This amazing fact helps us to realize, in a measure, the social value and remarkable stability of these institutions. The foundation upon which they grow is man’s love of home. It is largely due to their sincere desire to encourage thrift and home ownership ... to a spirit of genuine friendship and helpful service .. . and to their proved safety . . . that Indianapolis is famous as a city of beautiful dwellings, owned by the people who dwell in them. The sum which the association lends on the home is reduced by monthly payments . . . and, as a result, the first mortgage security is constantly improved. The best security available to an investor is improved real estate . . and the money invested in a building and loan association has always earned dividends at the highest rate consistent with safety. For facts concerning these associations . see an Indianapolis building and loan officer .he will gladly give them to you. M Records of the past are M the best indexes to the \ M future.
