The board upon this expose Of the state Of the
Institution, have determined to declare divid-
end OF per cent for the last six months. In
consequence of n, cessary expenses attending the
Institution, the profits Of the last six months
have been necessarily reduced. After dividing
three per cent there is still small surplus re-
manning.
This Institution has now been in operation for
one year, and the experiment (if that can prop.
erly be called one, which has been tested all
over the commercial world) has proved success
full. The board OF Directors would respectfully
call the attention OF their fellow citizens 10 the
manifold benefits OF this useful and valuable In
stitution.
II is not Bank, and shares in none OF the
risks of such Institutions, because, We have no
power 10 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 SUN weekly or monthly,
this is a most valuable resource, for besides that
the principle is saved and not spent-lnterest
accumulates upon the savngs,-the poorest man
may 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 obyi-
Gus advantages They do the duties without
nav or emoiument, but 10 the farmer aud Me-
chanic, who wants occasionally small sums for
his bus incss, and to the Industrious man however
