. WHY BANKS? . - LESSON I P o By 1 H. PUELICHER. Chairman, , Committee on Public Education, American Bankers Assoclation. Banks are defined .as “institutions chartered to receive deposits and make loams.” What is a bank deposit? What is a bank loan? - BANK DEPOSIT = money or checks left with &

_ - bank to be kept safe from . . . thieves,. fire or other loss; : .to earn interest, if in a savings account;”to be conven- : . . ient for the future use of the s o depositor; to be loaned out to edrn the expenses of the bank’s services, and interest e for the depositor when in an : o - interest bearing account. BANK LOAN = advance of money to help business . . enterprise so that business may S again help the earner and saver * by giving employment.

In the Middle Ages safes were very few. Goldsmiths kept their jewelry in strong boxes, and also accepted for safekeeping, for a fee, nq‘onej{ packéd and marked with the owner’s name. In those .days money saved lay idle; today it is put to work by banks for the benefit of the depositor and the community.

THE COMMON ENEMY

A conference of bankers and farmers of the Fifth Federal Reserve Dis trict' held recently at Raleigh, North Carolina, under the auspices of the American Bankers Association Agricultural] Commission, adopted the following principles: “In order to encourage and promote a safe, sane and ‘constructive system of farm practices, the Banker and Farmer Conference of the Fifth Federa] Reserve District would make the following recommendations with reference to the activities of farmers an{] bankers on which to concentrate efforts during the coming year: ‘

“1. Encouragement of loans by bankerg to bright and deserving young men and young women: who wish to go to college to study agriculture and home economies. o : “2. Promote in a ratiofial and conservative: way the economic increase in the productiveness of the soils of the district so that a larger unit of crop production may be secured. Small unit yields of necessity are expensive while moderate to large yields of crops are generally the cheapest. Larger yields per acre coupled with a reduction in the acreage, when advisable, should and usually will be more profitable and when handled properly will not lead to an over-production.” : : “3 Encouragement of a proper system of diversified farming in which farmers will grow as far as practical all the food and feed crops necessary for feeding the family and livestock of the farm, and to keep on the farms the requisite kinds and amounts of livestock best to meet the economic needs of farming. e ' “4. To formulate and put in motion definite plans for carrying out this prograny, it is urged that the Agricultural College of the District put ‘a county agent in every county and that a banker-farmer conference be called to meet early in the fall at the agricultural college of each State.”

NATION’S SAVINGS _ PLANT TRIPLED

Savings banks and banks having distinct savings departments, - not counting branches, have grown in numbers in the United States from 5,376 {n 1912 to 16,709 in 1922 or an increase of about 210 per cent in ten years, says the Savings Bank Division of the - American Bankers Association.

WHAT ADVERTISING DOES America has the best life on this earth because it has the best-adver-tised life, says Colonel W. G. Edens of the Public Relations Commission, American Bankers Association. Hae goes on¢ “American health is the best in the world because American people are best informed in the ways and habits of health, largely through advertising, American business is the largest and most successful in the world because it uses advertising the most. American business men enlarge their business institutiong in proportion as they advertise them. American buyers -become more shrewd in spending their money in proportion as they read advertisements. “The press of the United Statesg is regarded by many as the most powerful of our {nstitutions. It must be numbered with the schools and the churehes as one of the trinity of most. powerful creators of knowledge and patriotism. L “Advertising is what it is today largely because of the power and success of the daily paper. Nevertheless, it is true that the daily paper is as successful as it is today because of advertising. “The banking business has been benefited largely by advertising within the last dozen or fifteen years.! Banking institutions have done more advertising than ever before. They have installed advertising - departments which acquaint their communities with facts formerly regarded in the light of institutional -secrets. The banker .publishes facts which bufld up confidence in his institution. ‘ “The result has been that millions of people who formerly would not place their money in the care of bankers, but who hoarded it at home, entrusted it to friends, or invested it in wildcat speculations, now regard the bank as the safest place in the world. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been brought from their hiding places and placed in circulation, much to the advance of America and American institutions, as well as American business. Newspaper advertising has done more for American banks in the ‘last dozen years than any other single agency.” : ,

TRUST COMPANY GROWTH 1 Nearly fourteen and one-half billions of dollars are the total present resources of trust companies in the United States. Institutions reporting number 2,478, as compared with 2,372 a year ago. The actual figures for the year ending June 30 last are $14,441.500,000 resources, as compared with $12,739,600,000 in 1922, representing a gain of $1.701.900.000.
