th* Bank a Financial Fewer Heuaa
te the Community,
I< v
By Fetor Radford.
One of the greateet opportunltlea th
the buelneea life of the nation Ilea
Ig practical co-operation of the eoun-
trjrbanka with the farmer in building
agriculture and the adventure la laden
with greater poaalbllltlea than any
forward movement new before the
American 'public.
A few bankera have loaned money
to farmero at a low rate of internal,
and ofttlmoe without cotnpenaatlon, to
buy blooded Itveatock, build alloa,
fertilise the land, aecure better need,
their producta for a betetr mar*
price, etc. The banker In con*
bating toward improving the grade
of Uveatook; the quality of the eeed
and the fertility of the noil, planta In
the agricultural Ufa. of the community
A fountain of profit, that, like Tenny
ana'a brook, ,runa on and on forever,
gemmunlty Progreso a Bank Aaset.
The time waa when money loaned
On aucb a baeia would .severely teat
tfi* aanlty of the banker; such trans-
actions would pain the directors like
0 blow In the face. A cashier who
Would dare -to cast bread upon waters
tjbat did not return buttered aide up
In time for annual dividenda would
have to give way to a more capable
man. This does not necessarily mean
that the bankers are getting any better
pr that the milk of human klndnessa is
going Imbibed more freely by our finan-
ciers. It Indicates that the bankers are
getting wiser, becoming more able fin-
anciers and the banking Industry mord
competent. The vlalon of the builder is
crowding out the splHt of the pawn-
broker. A light has been turned on
a new world of investment and no
usurer over received as large returns
on the Investment as these progres-
sive bankers, who made loans to
uplift Industry. The bankers have
always been liberal city builders, but
they are now building agriculture.
A Dollar With a foul.
It ,1s refreshing In this strenuous
commercial life to find so many dol-
lars with souls. When a dollar Is ap-
proached to perform a task that does
directly yield the highest rate of
t, we usually hear the rustle
eagle’s wings as it soars up-
when a dollar is requested to
at the option of the borrower,
-Uy appeals to the Goddess of
for Its contractural rights;
a dollar Is asked to expand In
_____s to suit the requirements of
' Industry, It usually talks solemnly of
Its redeemer, but soul material has
entered Into the vaults of our banks
and rate, time and volume have a
pew basis of reckoning in so far as
|he ability of some of the bankers
permit them to co-operate In promot-
ing the business of farming.
God Almighty’s Noblemen.
.. These bankers are God Almighty’s
Noblemen. HeaVen lent earth the
A Spirit of these men and the angels
V Will help them roll In place the
cornerstones of empires. They are
hot philanthropists; they are wise
bankers. The spirit of the builder
jbas given them a new. vision, and
Wisdom has visited upon them bust-
neat foresight.
The cackle of the' ben, the low
of kiue and the rustle of growing
crops echo in every bank vault In the
nation and the shrewd banker knows
that ha can mora effectively Increase
hts deposits by putting blue blood In
the veins of livestock,' quality In
(be yield of tbo soil and value Into
Agricultural products, than by bual-
bass handshakes, overdrafts and
gadtty calendars.
Taking, the community into part*
harshtp with the bank, opening up a
tedger account with progress, making
thrift and enterprise stockholders and
the prosperity of the country an
Asset to the bank, put behind it
stability^ far more desirable than a
letterhead bearing the names of all
the distinguished citizens ot the com-
munity, The bank Is the financial
power house of the community and
blessed is the locality that haa an
up-to-date banker.
