Two Decades Of Building And Loan Associations In Pennsylvania PDF Download

Excerpt from The Law of Building and Loan Associations in Pennsylvania This book is offered to the public in the hope that it will supply the wants, which the writer believes to exist, of both layman and lawyer for a treatise on the law and business methods of domestic building and loan associations in Pennsylvania. There is no doubt that the public is vitally interested in these associations, both from a civic and financial standpoint The last published report of the Commissioner of Banking (1911) shows that the assets of building and loan associations in Pennsylvania were at that time almost two hundred million dollars, and at the present time they are, no doubt, greatly in excess of that sum. The total number of associations given in that report was fifteen hundred and seventy-three, with almost five hundred thousand shareholders. An institution of such resources and with so great a number of persons interested in their welfare must of necessity have a tremendous moral and financial influence in the Commonwealth. Foreign building and loan associations have been considered only incidentally, except that the act of May 11, 1901, P. L. 153, regulating the doing of business in this Commonwealth by such associations has been published in full in the appendix. The writer desires to acknowledge his indebtedness to Leo G. Bernheimer, Esq., for many valuable suggestions and much help in the writing of this book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
