EEA 8 1261 "41 AVIN "AVAINLVS MIVIL A TXIIM VILANNIM "FINANCIAL COUNSELOR Where Individuals May Have Their Money Problems Solved. | ----n J By EDGAR TAYLOR WHEELOCK. | (Copyright, 1921, American Press League.) Would you like to own your home? | Go to your community banker and: learn how to open an account that will prove to be the first step toward free- dom from rent-paying. Are you thinking of making an ef- fort to accumulate capital for invest- ment in a paying business? Your banker will explain how this can be accomplished. Invest Savings With Care. Have you been solicited to invest your savings in the stock or bonds of some industrial enterprise? Before doing so ask your banker to look up the character and financial standing of the company offering the securities for sale. Are you in the market for a mort- gage, or is it necessary for you to mortgage your property to meet press- ing obligations? Go to your banker with the problem and he will explain (When she will go there to attend her how you can solve it to the best ad- vantage. Do you want to discount your bills in order to take advantage of the op- portunity thus afforded to make a sub- stantial saving? Your banker will tell you how you can make the turn. Bankers Are Human Beings. + Thousands of persons who should take their financial problems to the banker are prevented from following that course by the mistaken notion that the banker is something of a business aristocrat, a sort of super-businessman with about as much warm blood in him as a cash register, a comptometer or the multiplication table. As a matter of fact bankers are hu- man, precisely like the rest of us. In money matters they are forced to be cautious because every smooth swin- dler in the land is out to get the better of them. They are handling other people's money and dare not take chances. This makes them safe coun- selors. It is the banker's business to furnish financial counsel to individuals who may have enough common sense to ap- peal to him when occasion requires. The merchant who wants to borrow money to discount his bills; the farm- er who is thinking of buying a new | reaper or a registered bull; a profes- sional man or wage earner looking for a safe investment for his savings; the man who is determined to cut out some foolishly extravagant habit and , open a savings account--all these peo- ple, natural clients of the community banker, should cultivate intimate rela- tions with him. Revival of the Thrift Spirit. We are told that the industries of this eountry must be reorganized and restored to a normal basis before fu- ture prosperity can be assured. This can be accomplished only by a revival of the Thrift Spirit which enabled us to finance the great war and, to the end that the greatest measure of sue- cess may be attained, tne panks must be made the center of the movement. PREVENTION BEST REMEDY Prevalence of an epidemic of "private stock burglaries" in Kenil- worth has led the village officials to appoint four policemen to help Capt. Patrick J. Murray in fighting this pe- culiar departure in crime. Captain Murray has been successful in round- ing up the culprits in. several in- stances but a situation developed too big for one man to handle with the result that officials augmented the police force in the determination to stamp out the evil practice. Rangers in the government service in the Yosemite national park are among the former service men to re- ceive charters for posts of the Am- erican Legion. The post, which will be known as Yosemite No. 258, is the first to be organized in the National Park. The next state convention of the California Legion will be held in Yosemite valley.
