MAKES BIG GAINS Reports Submitted At Annual Meeting Of Organiza tion’s Stockholders The Cooperative Building and Loan association held its annual meeting here yesterday and gains of some 20 to 60 per cent, in all branches of the association, were reported by the officials. F. E. Lit tle, president of the Wilmington Stamp and Printing company, pre sided over the stockholders’ meet ing and upon conclusion of the ses sion made the following remarks: “Before presenting this splendid report for acceptance, I would like to make some observations which seem outstanding. The nice increase in both investment funds and num bers of shareholders indicate the association’s growing popularity among the masses of the communi ty. The large number of modest and even small deposits are conducive to the healthful growth you have ex perienced. The large amounts paid out through loans and profits from this and other assocaitions have been of tremendous benefit to the community. Your growth in assets, while more than at any other simi lar period, is in keeping with sound conservative policy. The increase of 1 per cent in earning rate for the period is an outstanding accomplish ment, and I doubt if it is equalled by many others. “rrv-,c» ocenniutinn is P^Pfiflllv for tunate in being able to place such nice increases in the profits and re erve accounts, and particularly is to be commended in handling the in creased business at a smaller ex pense than for the same period last year. The small amount of fore closure property shows close cooper ation by the directors and efficient and careful management. It gives me pleasure to preside over the an nual meeting of such an able or ganization." The president’s report was pre sented as follows: “Again I am afforded the pleasure of presenting to you, the share holders of the Cooperativeu Building and Loan A" nation, my report for this for‘- ,nd annual meeting. “The . 1339 has been an un usually a* ive one for your associa tion and as president ,1 take pleasure in stating that the gains shown this past year exceed even those of 1938, which were the largest in history. Approximately $700,000 has been distributed to our shareholders during the year and the records re veal that we have made gains rang ing from 20 to 60 per cent in all branches of the institution. “My daily contacts with the sec retary and his assistants have been most enjoyame, mreresung auu in structive. It is extremely gratifying for me to state that during the year approximately $400,000 was loaned by the association for construction purposes, remodeling and the pay ing off of existing mortgages. But one of the most interesting features of our statement this year is that of the earning rate which appears to be slightly over 7 1-2 per cent. This not only indicates the rapid and careful turning over of our money, but as the records will show, the accounts of the associa tion are in wonderful condition. There are no accounts as much as six months in arrears and we have closed the year with only one small piece of foreclosure property on hand. “It has been my pleasure to pre side over twenty-one directors meet ings during the year at which there has been an average of 89 per cent.

Aftei a careful analysis of the affairs o! the association, and my personal close contacts with the management during the year, I cannot but feei optimistic, not only as to what has been done during the past year, but as to the future. It is extremely gratifying to find the association building up a reserve for possible contingencies even though we have closed our forty-second year main tainir.g our record of never having had a loss.’’ “Respectfully submitted, J, H. HINTON, Pres.’’ Upon conclusion of this report the secretary’s report was then made as follows: “Another year, our 42nd, has come to a close ana Brings me tne privi lege of reporting, in behalf of your board of directors, on the associa tion's performance and the policies which motivated it. From the standpoints of soundness of condi tion, the increase of new business, new relationships with indviduals, and tangible service to the communi ty, the year has been most success ful. New Investments “Money placed for investment with the association by both old and new members amounted to $678, 817.19 as compared to the year end ing 1938 of $491,276.62. an increase of $187,540.57. At the beginning of 1939 there were 1,355 investors in the association and at the close of business December 31, 1939 there were 1,571, showing an increase of 216 shareholders. Our growth in membership is gratifying, not only uueause it. means me expansion or our institution, but also, and more fundamentally, because it indicates that we are reaching out to serve more people. Mortgage Loans ‘‘The other principal way in which we serve the community is provid ing a source of money for those who wish to own their homes. The building and loan associations of the entire United States did a third of all home mortgage lending in 1939. The Cooperative's part in this was $349,124.12 against the previous year of $230,150.00 or a gain over the largest year in our history of $114,974.12. This brings our mort gage accounts to a total of $814, 229.00.

In order to bring you a more concrete pic ture of what the association has none uunng tne year it is necessary to draw comparisons between the years 1938 and 1939. Our assets at the close of business 1938 were $730, 846.00 and at the close of business 1939 were $876,182.96, or a gain of $145,336.96. Number of shares issued during 1938 were 4,469.
