First Bank in Indiana. Started at Vmcennes and had a Branch in IMew Harmony. There was very little specie or paper in circulation m I ntrna before its admission in 1810. The period iri.ni 1X07 to 181 G was the worst era in our history l-.r witd cat banking. Paper money at this time ranged in value all the way from the notes of the .Ui.ichusetts banks, worth 20 per cent above i.ttional treasury notes, to the counterfeits thatdel iirtnl the country. A Western bank in those early days was a very simple affairs. Any man inclined to start a bank i.iivJ an engraving company to print him a few thousand bills and than opened an office in some consent town. Since these banks rarely received deposit and only served the one function, a place to discount notes, they were opened usually one day in the week or two half days- either all day on Saturday nr Tuesday and Saturday afternoons. If business prospered and banker floated much of his money at a lair price, he remained. If the situation did not prove lavorable he packed the capital in his grip, and wight a m )re favorable spot. This might be called the Nomadic Age of banking. The earliest Indiana banks, at Brookville and New Harmony were of this kind. A law enacted in IS 17 created a state bank at Vmcennes with fourteen branches, one of these branches was to be at New Harmony with Frederick Rapp, Thomas E. Castleburg and Tomas Gibson as the organizing board. The capital stock was to be SW.uiM). The plan to establish the bank in New Harmony was not successful which was the same in number of other cases. Banks of that time was of very little use. There was very little money in the state and scarcely 75.000 inhabitants Ninety outof onehundred men were foreigners and intent only on meeting the payment on their homesteads and as the government gave them liberty terms they did not need to borrow money.

The trite comment upon success of any sort that "there is everything in knowing how" is particularly applicable to the business of advertising. Merchants generally advertise tlimr KiiQinoQc hut nnt manv of them regard

advertising as a part of their business; that is I they do not put business methods and business brightness into their advertising. Judicious I advertising pays every time, and he who J knows how to advertise judiciously is a better I equipped business man than is his merchant J neighbor who does not know when and how to advertise. , , f A striking advertisement will run the gamut 4. of popular attention and get into the air like a j popular song. Advertisements have become J as familiar as household words, and remained I advertisements long afUr they had disappear- ? ed from newspaper columns and from advertis- I ing billboards. Who will ever forget the mys- j tie "S. T. 1860 X?" It can no longer be seen in print, nor upon billboards, but the name, ot

asked her dressmaker, whose son

was at college, if he were pursuing a general course or specializing in any particular branch. The answer came promptly, through a mouthful of pins: ".Sanskrit, ma'am. He's specializing in .Sanskrit.

Less reasonable and equally unexpected were the remarks of an old farmer in a remote hill village upon the favorite studies of his son. Jle had always been suspicious of the higher education and was far from pleased when his Joe, whom he wished to keep on the farm, obtained a scholarship.
