Bankers: national bank of new Zealand. Solicitor : mr. c. a. mackeciinie. Manager : mr. George eraser. Thiß Society is established on the MuiUAL Permanent Principle ; its object being as set forth in the Rues, to enable its members 1. To purchase land for building purposes. 2. To purchase or build dwelling-houses, business premises, and public buildings. 3. To borrow money upon the security of land, dwelling-houses, business premises, and public buildings. 4. To redeem mortgages. 5. To invest money, in largo or Bmall sums, without liability. 6. To provide means for the profitable in vestment of savings, and for other pur purposeß, for the mutual benefit of its members. INVESTING SHARKS,. The payments are so fixed that the humblest oan become members, whilst at the same time every opportunity is afforded for the investment of large amounts. Investing Members are entitled to be credited with Interest at 8 per cent per annum, and Bharo in the Profits. BORROWING SHARES. The money borrowed may be repaid by weekly, fortnightly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly instalments in advance. Borrowing members share in the profits, and may, with tht oonsentof the Board, either reduce or extend the period over which the loan was originally made repayable. The following fable shows the weekly and yearly payments required for a given number of years to repay a loan of £100 = five borrowed hares of -20 each.
