HQW a bank loan portfolio presents a graphic cross sectjbn picture of the business of its^omnnlnity is disclosed by the description which a midweetern bank recently gave of its loans to customers. It revealed also how closely Interwoven with its neighbors' varied lives are the threads of the. bank's financial helpfulness. This description showed, that the bank bad made a loan of $100,000 to a local shoe manufacturer to purchase materials, discount bills and meet current requirements. To a wholesale grocer $95,000 had been advanced fo.r the purchase of in^ ventory, the loan to be repaid over a period ill accordance With specified, terms set forth,In the Joan agreement, AasUtaoceinPersobal MattertKr-;^ 'Another loan -had been 'made fb ft home owner to the amount of $200 for jpaintfng and repairing. This was made in cooperation with the Federal Mousing Administration and was being* repaid In twenty-four monthly instaiir inents of $8.33 each. « A dentist had been loaned $300 to purchase new equipment. He was pay* ing off the debt out of his professional earnings as they came in. To a large domestic refrigerator distributor $30,000 had been granted on warehouse receipts to finance dealer shipments. « A home owner had been "granted a $3,000 mortgage loan to be repaid in three years.

If the typical examples here given were multiplied by many millions of times, the result would represent the total economic cooperation which the banking system ,^f the country as a whole is extending to aid the innumerable personal, professional, industrial and commercial activities which make up the whole business life of the nation. The nationwide total of such loans hi in excess of 20 billion dollars. ; > ' : Goose Gets a Pet BANKS PLAN ADVERTISING Substantial funds have been set aside from reserves of the American Bankers Association to finance the development by its Advertising Department of a service of informative newspaper advertisements setting forth in brief, popular language the methods and policies under which banks operate, their ef. fective practices for protecting their depositors' funds, the^ services they render and the various ways in which they cooperate with business in their own communities in fostering sound recovery and progress. Some 350 banks are now using this material and U is available at a moderate price tor all of the members in ^he association who care to use it in bringing about better public understanding in their own communities regarding banking and its services. It has materially stimulated the use of newspaper advertising among banks. Many favorable comments have been expressed regarding the Informative and constructive character of its messages. It is issued in two sizes: the larger size is 3 columns wide by 10 inches deep, but in some instances subscribing banks have expanded this to occupy full pages in their local papers In order to obtain a more emphatic effect. Four pieces of advertising copy are supplied each month in this service.

POTPOURRI Agate Harder Than Steel ; Agate, gem of fine-grained quartz, is harder than steel but is more brittle.
