Smallest Bank In the World.

There is a saying among country people that “the smaller the bank the safer the money,” and therefore the Wake County Savings bank, at Raleigh, N. C., should be the safest bank In America, since It is the smallest. Of course, it is a trifle larger than a sock and easier to get money out of than the tin .banks or-the china pig?, of one’s childhood, but It manages to gather in a very great deal of money in the minimum space. As a matter of fact, originally the space occupied by the bank was a hallway into the building back of it. Some changes in the architecture of the place made the hallway unnecessary, and so the savings bank decided, on an “office” there. Now it is a “regular bank,” with an imposing entrance—and that is about all. Its frontage, to be exact, is 7% feet.
