New Year’s Baby Becomes Financial Beacon for 1930
San Antonio’s New Year’s Baby of 1930 could reach over $1500 by age nine with an 8 percent dividend, and about $2000 at maturity after roughly 130 months. The San Antonio Light will contribute $10 toward the Baby’s savings, with the Building and Loan Association paying the final three payments before maturation, while parents add $10 monthly. The piece urges families to start a planned monthly savings to secure a future education and financial security through the association.
