Gere Outlines Savings and Loan History for Rotarians
Jim Gaza, president and manager of First Federal Savings and Loan, spoke at the Rufus Garrett Hotel to Rotarians about the savings and loan movement. He traced its origins in 1931 Frankfort Pennsylvania, noted the first loan of 375 dollars for a house, and described the growth to about 6300 associations with assets over 120 billion dollars. Gaza explained that savings and loan associations are not banks, insure deposits with the FSLIC, and must maintain seven percent liquidity. He cited Arkansas as having 57 associations with about 620 million in assets. He added federally insured institutions member banks increasingly compete for savings and home loans. The meeting also included introductions and a topical note on theft at a Fort Worth church event.
