The first group are every day Americans--neighbors, so to speak --engaged in numerous lines of business. They have had the enter- prise and the courage to contribute from their accumulations to the funds which form the bank's capital. Their object is the same as that which prompts any one to take a business risk and embark in a business--to make their saved capital earn legitimate profits. The second group is that very large body of citizens from high and lowly walks of life who de- posit their precious funds in the bank for safety, convenience and profit. Safety, because funds about he home, in pockets, or even about a business institutions are in constant i BS BS = Javimer Qonvenienias, because the WINNETKA eid for tansmiting fon. TRUST and Profit, because in the case of sav- SAVINGS BANK ings, interest is paid on deposits-- enough, if left long enough to double amounts originally set aside. The third group is composed of ELM STREETAT CENTER hail HET T Who Is a Bank? directors, officers and working staff. The stockholders who own the bank's capital elect directors from their number. These directors select managing officers, who are responsible {o the board. The of- ficers choose and supervise the working staff. A Bank is not composed of brick, steel and concrete, with wood or marble fixtures and me al grills with piles of money behind them. The human element predominates here, as in every successful busi- ness enterprise. Banking is not a monopoly. When the need of a bank exists in any community there is nothing to prevent persons with proper qual- ifications,--character, capital and experience--organizing one in con- formity with the law. To say that the thirty thousand or more Amer- ican banks are controlled by any invisible government or influences would be as absurd as to say that the general stores or the shoe shops are similarly controlled. For these banks belong to the plain, enter- prising ciizens of their home com- munities who contribute their capital, and who have in their own "hands their choice of management. 8 HEATING) BATTERIE. 9 ACCESS ORIE i Goodrich Tires WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT well worth considering.
