Sue, The only thing I can tell you about the Perpetual Building Association is that my father had a mortgage there in the 1950's.

I would like to thank everyone who responded for help with this. I guess it must be Perpetual, but the second "p" was definitely a "t" instead which is what was throwing me, along with the fact that I wasn't sure of the first letter. I guess this was just a case of him not knowing how to spell correctly ;-) I sure do appreciate everyone taking the time to help. Thanks again!
