HOW BANKS INCREASE
BUSINESS.
Des Moines bankers are learn
ing to advertise. This is the
great reason that Des Moines
banks are growing so rapidly.
Advertising in the banking busi
ness is a new departure, but it is
accomplishing wonderful results.
A local banker who has been us
ing page after page of display
advertising in the local newspa
pers recently said:
"Through our advertising I
believe we have increased our
number of depositors one-third in
the past few months."
Pittsburg banks are spending
about a million dollars every year
in display advertising. The big
newspapers of that city contain
more advertising from the banks
in towns than from the depart
ment stores. The success that
has followed their efforts has led
Des Moines men to follow in their
wake. The enterprising bankers
of the city are quick to see the
possibilities of advertising in ed
ucating the people to save. The
others will soon be forced to fol
low in their footsteps or suspend.

Move the Galena Court?
The Galena correspondent c
the Joplin Globe claims to hav
discovered a mare s nest, or an
African gentleman in the fue
supply. He says an attempt is
going to be made to move the
Galena end of the district court
or, rather, to aboiisn it. we
lave not heard of the scheme
from any other source and really
don't think there is anything to
it. The correspondent has prob
ably been eating something that
doesn't comply with the pure
food law, and has been having
bad dreams. Those bad dreams
ought to make him a better boy.
The Galena court is a necessi
tv. " and we do not believe the
people of the county want it
abolished. Of course, we may
sometime be in favor of having
it located at Baxter Springs, but
until such time we shall be in fa
vor of leaving it at Galena.
