OWN YOUR OWN HOME. A SAFE INVESTMENT. The seriousness of the housing problem in Wellington is fully realised by all, and great interest is being paid by the community to the various Government and municipal schemes designed to ease the situation. However, it is clear that these schemes meet the needs of only a limited number. But all classes, are. offered an. opportunity of acquiring capital to finance a home, through the establishment of The Wellington Starr-Bowkett Building Society. The first group of shareholders is now being formed. For a. subscription of Is per share per week a shareholder becomes entitled to a loan of £100 per share free of interest, the loan being repaid to the society in 12^ years at the rate of £8 per year for each 1 £100 lent. A shareholder taking 10 shares therefore obtains a loan of . £1000. The advantage is seen when the interestfree loan is contrasted with an ordinary mortgage, bearing interest at the current rate of 6 per cent. The order in which a, shareholder obtains his interest-free loan is determined by ballot, but if a shareholder desires to anticipate his loan, he has the opportunity of doing so by paying a premium to the society for the money. A free booklet, entitled " Financing a Home," and all information is now available. Applications should be made to the secretary —Mr. D. G. Johnston, Public Accountant, 39, Johnston-street, Wellington Advt.
