We Destroy An Old Fallacy
For years it has been customary to say that investments are a doubtful quantity during the year of a Presidential election.
This may be true of investments other than the building and loan dollar . . . but an election year has no effect upon the earning power of money left with us.
Through the administration of Roosevelt, Taft, Wilson, Harding, Coolidge and Hoover, the building and loan dollar has continued steadily at work earning interest and dividends for its owner.
Our money is loaned on a long-time basis at a fixed rate of income.
Depressions or Presidential election years have never caused us to pass a dividend.
Why not, then, put idle money to work with institutions that are backed by the unquestioned security of Ironton homes?
We offer you the test of a good investment . . . safety and consistent earning power.
