Shelton, Washington
AUGUST 1971
Most stores in the area are having back-to-school sales,
and the time to outfit your students for a return to classes
is now.
Do some comparing when you shop, to make certain
you're getting the most for your money. This doesn't
necessarily mean the lowest price. An inexpensive article
of clothing may increase it's overall cost in many ways. If
it must be dry-cleaned, or hand laundered, you will find
the cost of wearing it rising. Or, it may not last as long as a
similar article which costs a dollar or two more. (6085)
Wash and wear fabrics are generally the best buys,
because in most cases they resist stains, and need only
touching up with the iron. However, not all "wash and
wear" treatments are the same. It pays to stay with brands
that you know.
When your young ones are at the "growing" stage, and
they're shooting up faster than you can clothe them, it can
pay to buy clothing that's a little longer in the limbs than
they need, and do some hemming. Kids have always been
able to outgrow clothes before they wear them out.
Just as it's important to shop around when making a
purchase, you can also save money in the way you pay for
it. Cash is the best way. You avoid all interest and carrying
charges, and the best way to have cash available is by
having a sound savings program, and collecting dividends,
not paying interest. Your Credit Union paid 5%% on shares
last dividend period. (4753)
If you can't pay cash, then find the most economical
way to use your credit. "Revolving" and "E-Z Pay" charge
methods are generally carried at 18% true annual interest
percentage. Loan companies will charge you up to 36% to
carry a loan of this type.
Mason County Federal Credit Union can loan you the
amount needed for any worthwhile purchase at 12% true
annual percentage or less. Come see us for money for
back-to-school buys.

Along with the new share insurance comes security
regulations, and the Credit Union will be installing new
security devices to protect its more than 3,500 members.
One of our little members is shown here making his own
security check to be sure his records are safe. (114)
EFFECTIVE
ENIN
Right here in black
and white is a good
example of a confusing
statement. It's much like
some quotations of what
credit will cost you.
Truth in lending laws
require that the borrower
be told in writing what
the finance charges will
be, but this doesn't stop
misleading statements
during the course of
conversation. Be careful,
be certain, and get it in
writing- then compare.
This past month, Howard Smith, who is retired from
state employment, Oliver Gray, Oyster Grower at
Lilliwaup, and Sandy Denison, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
John Denison, all missed their $5.00. New numbers are
hidden this month.
