Winship, secretary of the BuDding and Loan Association pf Evanston, which was incorporated November 18, 1927, at 513 Davis street, Evanston. -The Evanston association is di&er~nt," says M:r. Winship, "froiD any and all other building associations in this state. It is so different that the organizers found great difficulty in getting the desired by-laws adopted; for the laws of this state favor rather the old old-fashioned 'Serial' plan for su'Ch companies." · "Many communities in Illinois are sure to copy the plan of the association in Evanston, for our plan is the most efficient practiced in the states where building associations do the most busi· ness, for example in Ohio." · "Another example is in New Jersey "!here the association organized oft the ·optional Pa)'ment' plan average in size more than twice that of the ·serial' associations. . "Although only six weeks old, the Building and Loan association of Evanston has made two loans and has sold over a thousand shares. "There is a strong deniand for loans on our terms," says Mr. Winship. ·'Just as fast as we get the money we 'Can place it. If' we can loan $10,000 pe-r month this year, we can pay five percent dividends. Thereafter the profits will · be greater. The average dividend of building-loan · associations in Illinois is more than five and a half percent." The directors of the association in Evanston are N. M·. Hokanson, president.; Herbert C. Jenks. vice president; Horace D. Bent, H. Morton Bodfish, C. P. Hod~son, John A. Kappelman, David C. Malin, Victor Ortlund, Meyer J. Sturm. The treasurer is Charles J ..
