some of the plausible reasons for the
important step.
1t all goes to show that in a world Of
change and progress system as appar-
entity immutable as that of banking

covers that it, too, is subject to, the
eternal law of advancement.

self hardly second as a financial inter-
est to that Of banking; but with the eX-
ception of the fact that insurance com
panies have grown and are still grow
ing 10 vast proportions, there has never
been anything in their history so pro-
nounced as this consolidation trend Of
the banks. The life companies are GER
tainly not consolidating. They do not
need to, for they grow individually so
steadily that fusion of any sort is quite
unnecessary. Even the so-called Small
er" companies with assets running from
a dozen million dollars upwards, are
much larger institutions than many Of
the banks will be after consolidation.
Indeed. they seem, of all the con-
serving institutions to vary as little in
their general plan as any in existence.
Even savings banks are included IN
the consolidating disposition mentioned,
and they are proverbially conservative.
But, as noted, the life companies hold
straight on, secure in the good will of
the world as evinced by the adhesion
of hundreds of thousands of old policy
holders and the securing of a plentiful
array Of new ones. They seem to change
mainly in the sense that more members,
more assets and more general good
words from an admiring world means
change, and they have been changing
in that pleasant fashion for long time.
