POSTAL BANK BAN REMOVED Out of Town People May Make Deposits. The ban against non-residents mak
ing deposits in postal savings banks (
has been raised by Postmaster General Hitchcock. An order to that effect was received yesterday by IX A. Campbell, postmaster of Chicago. It read; "Instructions to postmasters at de-' posltory offices which provide that postmasters will accept deposits only from persons who are patrons of their , postoffiees are hereby rescinded." "The new order will be of great benefit to the downtown postal bank," Mr. Campbell said. "It will nermlt out of-town people and those living in suburban towns to make deposits. The old rule prohibited this. j This will enable residents of various' portions of Lake and even f Porter counties to become depositors of the Gary, Indiana Harbor and Hammond postal savings banks and the ene to be established In Tolleston. When the Gary postal savings bank, which began business May 1 last year and which was one of the' first to be operated in the middle west, was open ed. people came:Jrom Chicago and surrounding Indiana ana Illinois points;
and begged to be permitted to place
their money on deposit. As a result of the new order the local postal savings banks may expect to build a large lint of suburban and rural depositors.
