1t is a National Savings Bank, offering a
higher rate of interest than any other, and
the best security. Any savings bank which
pays its depositors in U. S. Notes, considers
that it is paying in the best circulating me-
dium of the country, and it cannot pay in
anything better, for its own assets are either
in government securities or in notes or bonds
payable IN government paper.
1t is equally convenient as a temporary or
permanent investment. The notes can al
ways be sold for within fraction of their
face and accumulated interest, and are the
best security with banks as collaterals for
discounts.
