The board upon this expose of the state Of the
Institution, have determined to declare diyid-
end Of 8 per cent for the last six months. III
consequence of nt cessary expenses attending the
Institution the profits Of the last six months
have been necessarily reduced. Alter dividing
three per cent there is still a small surplus re-
naming.
This Institution has now been in operation foi
one year, and the experiment (if that can prop.
erly be called ore, which has been tested all
over the commercial worldly has proved success
full. The board Of Directors would respectfully
call the attention OF their fellow citizens to the
IN anifold benefits of this useful and valuable In
stitution.
1t is not Bank, and shares in none Of the
risks Of such Institutions, because, we have nc
power TO issue notes, but merely loan out on ca
sy terms what money is deposited.
Those who have small sums lying by them can
in this institution get interest upon their money,
which would otherwise produce nothing, lying
idle For those who out OF their income can al
ford to lay by small sum weekly or monthly,
this is most valuable resource, for besides that
the principle ia saved and not spent-interest
accumulates upon the savings, -the poorest man
NAV feel the benefits of this institution.
The Officers have no other motive IN recon-
mending it to the notice and patronage OF their
fellow citizens than firm conviction OF its obvi-
Gus advantages. They do the duties without
pay or emolument, but to the farmer and Me-
chanic, who wants occasionally small sums Tor
his bus ncss, and TO the industrious man however
poor, who wishes to save the small earnings OF
his honest exertions, the Savings Institution of
fers the only safe and certain mode Of being ac-
commodated, on the one hand by loans-or get
ting interest upon his money deposited.
