What A Bank Should lie *,
*-
THE relation between a bank and its de- *
posltors is different from that between ^
other lines of business and t heir customers. +
And a bank can be useful to its clients beyond *
the mere depositing, paying and lending ot *
money. A bunk stands in confidential rela-
lion to its depositors. It has opportunities to ^
help them and it has opportunities to take ad- ^
vantage ol' them. It becomes lamiliai with +
their financial transactions. It knows what *
deals they are planning and making. Not *
only their money, but their business secrets ¥
are in its hands for safekeeping. Further, the *
bank is the support behind a man, upon which *
he can call for help when he needs it. It is *
like the reserve troops which a general keeps
to use when lie gets in a pinch. *
Your bank to be really useful to you should *
have a strict sense of honor. It should be ab-
solutely safe. It should be big and strong en- *
ough to furnish help when it is called tor. ^
Where can you find such a bank? *
