DeWEESE, BUFFALO, N. Y. Checking Results ot Bank Advertising There may be bankers who have some doubt as to the value of the newspaper in educating people regarding the functions of a bank?but the president of the Wash ington Mutual Savings Bank of Seattle is not one of them. Of course, there is no way of checking up the returns from bank advertising. It isn't in the same class with ordinary merchandising, neither is it a mail-order business?although we have a number of savings institu tions in this country that re ceive deposits by mail, and the only way they can get de posits by mail is through ad vertising. A bank hasn't any thing to sell but Service, and in order to sell that Service it has to educate the people as to the uses and functions of the bank. After spending money and time in this edu cational work many banks have found that they have made business for other banks a? well as for them selves. They have inculcated the idea of Thrift among wage earners only to find that many of them have drifted into other banks where they happened to know one or more of the of ficers and have started a sav ings account. But similar results attend nearly all kinds of advertis ing.' Every manufacturer and j every merchant who adver tises makes some business for his competitors. It took O'Sullivan a good many years to educate the people to wear rubber heels, and now a lot of other rubber concerns are reaping a harvest. You could not do any educational work in Advertising without mak ing some business for your competitors. It is the same way in banking. In speaking of his own experience Mr. Raymond R. Frazier, presi dent of the Washington Mu tual Savings Bank of Seattle, says: "Taking hold of this insti tution when it had resources of $300,000 and when it was just ready to die from what one of its distinguished trus tees designated as 'dry rot,' it was determined to breathe into the business a new spirit and then tell the people about it. Since that time our busi ness has grown to over $14, 000,000 in resources?an in crease of 4,500 per cent in fourteen years, or at the rate of 321 per cent per annum. From this it will be seen that our publicity appeals were sufficiently strong to enable us to build up in this far northwest country, within a comparatively short period, a $22,000,000 mutual savings! bank. All of this business | was acquired by publicity? i the printed word." When this bank began ad vertising it had 514 accounts. Since that time ? twelve! years ago?the bank has opened 51,472 accounts. These' new accounts were not se-| cured by solicitors, by prizes, or any other methods of this character, but just through educational publicity. It is a rare thing to find a bank president who has the dig nity and poise of a "captain of finance" combined with those human qualities and that business astuteness that enable him to see the place of advertising in banking and to use it in building up a banking business. So much for the financial "brass-tacks" of bank adver tising. Bank advertising pays ?there is no mistake about that. Now if we consider the educational power of bank advertising?its ability to in culcate thrift and to imbue salaried men and wage-earn ers with the saving habit? we quickly perceive that there is no way of measuring the influence of this kind of advertising, which extends far beyond the tellers and cashiers of a bank. It means ' increased purchasing power for the entire community? and that means increased business for merchants and manufacturers. The ability i to save and accumulate means the final purchase of things worth while. It gives greater solidity and greater profit to merchandising. And so it follows that the bank president who knows the value of advertising not only builds up his own bank, but builds up the industrial wealth and prosperity of hia own city. | TRUMAN A. DeWEESE.

"This decy?ion of the Supreme Court emphasizes the need for an Investigation of trading In futures," said Hefiln. "My proposed investi gation would b" to determine proper legislation to safeguard the rights of producers p.f grain and cotton." "It wns a great disappointment to me." Senator Capper said, "when Chief Justice Taft knocked out sec tlon four of the Future Tradings act, thereby practically nullifying th? law. It was a great disappoint ment, too, to the other champions of this legislation It means we have lost round one In the battle to curb the evil practices of the grain exchanges of the country. It does not m?an, however, that the fight is over. "We had supposed," Capper con tinued, "that bv means of the tax ing feature of the bill, we had found a method by which the evils of fu ture trading could he abolished Slnc? the Supreme Court holds that this nYethod cannot be employed we shall h.ive to find some other means of accomplishing our ends."

Washington domestic brewers, it has been learned, are too anx ious to quaff forbidden waters, and drink their frothy concoc tions almost as soon as they make" it. Dr. T. M. Price, chemist of the District Health Department, said today that the beer is real ly undrlnkable unlets it is al lowed to sit for some weeks and ripen. "The German brewing mas ters," he said, "would not allow their beer to be put on sale until after six months, but American amateur brewers are drinking the stuff a day or so after it is made. New beer con tains a great deal of carbon dioxide?too much, in fact. It is more important to let beer ripen than whiskey or any other liquor." Fred T. Rose. Washington dry agent, conferred with a pro hibition office chemist and re ported that "green" beer is ex tremely bad on the stomach and the nerves. the road, whether or not the vehi cle Is at a terminal. The second ordinance makes It unlawful for any vehicle whether horse-drawn or motor to park at the left side of the road or to use r sidewalk while unloading mer chandise. It also provides that all vehicles must park parallel to curbs. Fines for violation of either ordi nance are set at 12.60 as a mini mum and $100 as a maximum. Figaro Prints Page In English. PARIS.
