How The Banks Use Money

Savings deposits in the United States increased more than §2,000,000,000 during the -last year. The resources of all the banks in this country now amount to more than $60,000,000,000 and their deposits to over $50,000,000,000. What becomes of this accumulated surplus capital? In loans and discounts the banks have more than $31,000,000,000. These are the short time loans to manufacturers, farmers and merchants to

provide seasonal working capital. They are secured usually by the products the borrowers produce or sell. Business obviously will never need to draw on the total loanable funds of banks for these current needs. The banks therefore must find other ways to employ their funds. In long-term credits in seasoned stocks bonds and real estate mortgages, the banks have ‘placed a little in excees of $14,000,000,000. ; . .

She gaid the Kendallville telephone operator informed the Avilla telephone operator that my hay barn was on fire. The Avilla operator thought it was my Avilla barn and quickly called to George Knauer who was passing by to spread the alarm. He ran widly down the street shouting fire while -enroute to the fire station tg ring the bell. In the meantime the Avilla operator learned her mistake and hurriedly secured another man to run down Knauer before he reached the fire station. Mr. Knauer was overtaken and Avilla's excitement subsided.”—Kendallville News Sun. L
