Tho attention OF the rri.trs IF the Philadelphia
Merchant i. respectfully directed to the SAviS'-
Fun of thu National Salty Company, in Walnn
street souhwes; corner of Third, which has been
tor long TIME and continues TO be, QUE Of tho
most prosperous and successful institutions in
Philadelphia. and WE may add at the same tim.
one Of the most useful. 1t was chartered in 1871.
by the Legislature of PcnnSyl, nnia. and since its
| "rgnnis dion has steadily pursued the ohJ"c $ for
VIII it WAS Incorporated The unprecedented
success which has attended it, Operations; afford,
| good illustration of what skill rnd perseverance,
rightly directed can accomplish. The amount az
deposits and humber of its depositors has gone
on -tca lily increasing from year to j" un'ilth"y
now gscatly exceed the amount received by any
rh'r Institution of the inc Kind in this city
The people Of Philadelphia are proud OF it, and
point to II as presenting al instanc" Of successful
clcrpriee. and ut the same time nhoriing the
means OF otletIins great public good by faNorins
the promotion of economy and industry amongst
every ciaS. Of her citizens.
There j. no gum too small and nd sum too lar:.
t" he received there and il is not surprising there
fore, that this SAVING FCND has a great number OF
depusors and has received n very l,r.e amount NJ
money. People Tho call there find that the Sccrr.
tary and his ssstan's are kept constantly employed
from morning till night. and twice ii week until
1T hour in the evening in receiving the money
brought by people who nr. ANXIOUS to put il III for
the double purpose of having it safely kept. and
that they may be able Mt the same time to get i'll
tcrrst for it
We are well acquainted with the operations Of
this Saving Fund. We have oursclves frequently
deposited large sums in it-arc in daily personal
intercourse with its officers and directorA great
many of our friends also have put their money i'll
it. and add to it from time TO time until the suns
deposited, with the accumulated interest. shall
enable them TO purchase a house or to accomplish
some other important and profitable object. We
hear every one of them speak of it with the high
est Appreciation ON account of the careful manner
in which its business is conducted. and they all
refer TO it perfect model for all similar in.ti-
tutons
We have reason to believe that large sums of
money are kept in private hands both in the city
and country whore it proves II constant source OF
anxiety and real danger to the owner. There Is
scarcely day passes in which there is not some
account in the public papers of money having been
lost by fire. and still more frequently by robbery
often attended by murder. The possession OF
very small sum has frequently lcl to the commits
sion of both these crimes. These caialniticS arc
not confined to our cities but in proportion TO TN"
population. are even moro frequent in the country
There is reason To believe that a great many href
which have occurred both in the city and country
have boon preceded by robbery and the fire Great
cd for the purpose of concc,lingit. It's tbcrei"r"
a great public benefit to have an trtat"h nv
which any sum of money, large or small, can W.
placed with interest while it remains ana from
which the owner can get it back again III Sod NJ
any moment he p'e,scs to call for it. Precisely
such an institution is the Saving Fund OF the NJ
tional Saving Company. and we feel confident that
people who put their money in it instead OF keep
ing it in their houses subicc, to DO lost vt any
time from fire. robbery and other accidents which
80 frequently happen. will ho relieved from great
load of anxiety and will always be kcher by tho
amount of interest they get for it while 1t remains
there
People who have the largest sums laying idle in
their own hnHcs Of course feel the greatest ankle
ty. and would focsiyc most boncft by placing it in
| this INSTITUTION. We have understood that many
| people Who have large sums have come from a
great dissancc to put their money in this Saving
Fund on account of the superior safety and con
| veiienoc It Affords, and consequently have been re
leycd from tho care and anxiety inscparab.c from,
| keeping it in their own houses.
| 1t Ray be proper also 10 state that the money
placed In this Saving Fund is carefully invested in
| Mortgages. G!1md Rents, and other first class Sc
curites which prevents the possibility Of los. and
! further that by the rules of tho Company none OF
the Directors or Officers can directly or indirectly
use or borrow any ot its money
