Georgia State Savings Association offers a six per cent deposit rate
The Georgia State Savings Association of Savannah is a large, seemingly sound institution established in 1890 and chartered in 1909. Depositors are protected by $3.6 million in mortgages and $4.11 million in time and savings deposits backed by capital and profits. The six per cent rate is deemed fairly safe, due mainly to long term real estate loans and auditing by state examiners.
