BANK

Takes pleasure In announcing to the public that its
new system of scent deposit stamps is about ready
for general use, and will be introduced contempt
raneous with its magnificent steel burglar and hre-
proof safedeposlt vault that is nearing compile
ton.
This depost-stamp system has proved marked
success In England and Germany and in its present
form has reached its most perfect development In
Frankfort. 1t has also been shown to supply long
felt want in such of American cities as have had
time to learn of it and to introduce it, notably in
Detroit, where the cashier writes to us, $50, 900
stamps sold In the first seven weeks by the
Citizens Savings Bank.
The Peoples Home Savings Bank has been watch
ing its operation for some time, and has corre
sponded with foreign Consus for fuller Information
of its workings and has learned that the beneficial
effect claimed by ConsuGeneral Mason in the March
Consular Report, pages 4S1-4S6, is even under
stated, and that this simple system has done Won
ders in encouraging small savings and in pleasantly
intoxicating in youthful minds valuable lessons of
thrift and economy. AS Mr.. Mason says:
The Frankfort Savings Bank has enjoyed from the
first substantial and constantly augmented
1t began in 1928 with 294 depositors, the ag
gregate of whose deposits was S693i marks. In
1870 the deposltors numbered 2,3l4 aud the capt.
tai OF the bank had risen to 7743.SS2 marks. From
that date Its prosperity increased rapidly, and
still further augmented by the opening OF the penny

drawn by depositors 5,l51,602 marks
Our new stamps are beautiful specimens OF the
steel engraver's art direct from the printing ONCE
of the United States Governments stamps, and Will

agents in all parts of the city in any quantities de-
sired, full list OF agents appearing shortly in
these pages.

any girl or boy, small or large, any grown person
that desires to deposit in the bank, and will give
such depositor free, on purchasing at least two

stamps This book bears number, and each leaf
the same number. The number of this book, with
the name. is sent b. the agent to the bank. When
ever any depositor has filed sheet with twenty
stamps it is mailed by he agent or by the depo5itor
to the bank and then the first dollar is entered on
your regular saviDgs-bank deposit book and your
money begins at once to earn the regular ordinary
