NATIONAL BUILDING SOCIETY.
At the annual meeting of the National Building Society held last week, the Chairman, Mr. George Elkington, after referring to the anxieties attending both the crisis in this country and in other parts of the world, commented--with ample justification—upon the many successful efforts which had been made during these difficult times to foster thrift and the part played in such a movement by Building Societies. Many of the members of these societies, he said, had not only kept their heads during the crisis, but had kept a roof over their heads, and the wolf from the door. He was also able to point out that whereas some two years ago the " National was among the first twelve of the larger building societies in this country, it had now risen to the fourth position. During the year under review, which was an eminently successful one, Mr. Henry Johnstone, for so many years the able Secretary of the Society was made General Manager, the Secretaryship being now filled by Mr. R. Bruce Wyeherley.
