For the convenience of the Jewish workingmen who are employed during the day, the bank is open Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday evenings, and it is a curious and interesting sight to Watch these former subjects of the Rus- sian Csar hand in their books and mon- ey to the teller, who, though unable to speak Yiddish, understands the inter- national Jewish language. Russian, Pol- ish and German are languages with which the officials of this institution are also familiar, and they have no difM- culty In "spelling the Jaw.breaking names that are horne by the majority of their patrons. One of the most im- portant features of the bank, and which 8ppeals very strongly to the foreign Population of the city is the ease and cheapness of sending money to friends and relatives in Russia through its agency, Money Sent to Russia. Manager Gurofsky sald that since the opening of the bank, which took place on Dec. 11 of last year, the sum of $30, 000. was sent to cities and towns in Russia. Most of this money was to en- able the survivors of the Russian mas. sacres to come to Canada. Another re- sult of the opening of the bank, which all thé Hebrews point to with pride, is that it has stimulated the buying and selling of real estate in the Jewish quarter, many of the bank's best cus- Jomers being large holders of real es- e. What surprises the Hebrew visitor from other Canadian cities is that in &pite of the metropolitan city in Can- ada having a Jewish population of three times as great and influential as that of Toronto, it cannot yet boast of hav- ing a similar institution. Depositors Are Increasing, The number of the bank's depositors notwithstanding its. briet existence, runs into four figures, and already the chief officials are talking increasing the already large Staff and enlarging the bullding.
