New Loan Association
Opens in Anchorage
The First Federal Savings and
Loan Association of Anchorage
is now open for business, Ross
Kinnamon, president, announc
ed this week.
“We have received our federal
charter from the Federal Home
Loan Bank system, and our cer
tification from the Federal Sav
ings and Loan Insurance Corpora
tion which insures all savings
accounts up to $10,000 each,’’
Kinnamon stated.
Savings accounts in the First
Federal earn three percent, and
dividends are paid twice a year,
he added. Deposits made by the
10th of the month earn interest
from the first of the month.
“Savings deposits made by
Palmer and Valley residents in
First Federal are specifically
earmarked for mortgage loans in
the Valley,” Kinnamon said
“Thus your money stays in the
Valley and works for you”, he
added.
The association president said
that the directors and officers of
the First Federal of Anchorage
believe that aiding home con
struction and improvement
through long-term loans will do
much to expand and stabilize the
economy of Southcentral Alaska.
“We want to stress”, Kinna
mon pointed out, “that we are
non-competitive with local banks.
We do not handle checking ac
counts or securities, and are, by
Federal charter, geared to Vho
home mortgage market and home
improvement loans”.

2. Power conumers should have a voice in
spending MEA funds . . .
3. MEA money should be spent in MEA Terri
