BANKS AND ADVERTISING.

The New York Financier a class paper
of high standing in financial and business
circles, publishes an article by John c.
of Braddock. Pa, on the merits of adver-
Using in relation to banks and financial
institutions. The article was written at
the request of the Financier. There have
been many notable demonstrations of the
efficacy of advertising in the mercantile
and other branches of business, but here
we have one, furnished by a banker, show
ing how it operates in the banking bust
ness. Mr.. Kelly says that for fifteen years
past he has been drumming for business
His plan has not been to exploit the special
merits of his own bank SO much as to
educate the people in sound banking meth
DDS and convince them of the superiority
of banks as repositories of money over old
stockings. mattresses, chimneys or any
other hiding place. Incidentally he has. of
course, given facts and figures showing the
condition of his own bank. In the pursuit
of this plan he has, from year to year.
printed leaflets, sometimes I'm several diff
every house within business range of his
bank. After a wide circulation of these
leaflets he says: I'VE noticed results almost
Immediately. People came in with the
books in their hands and asked to be
allowed to open accounts" For the first
twelve years after the bank began to adj
vertise Mr.. Kelly attended to that part of
the business himself but for three years
past 1t has been in the hands of regular
agent. Fifteen years ago." he says, when
the bank began to advertise, we had COM
paratively few depositors. and a surplus
of $4,000 Now we have over five thousand
depositors and surplus of $4,000. During
the last year We have opened from 225
to 260 new accounts every month, and as
the majority of them savings accounts.
deposited for at least six months. the ad-
vantage to the bank will be realized. even
though many of the deposits are not for
large amounts
The Financer comments editorially on
strong approval and expresses its belief
that the business of almost any bank can
be materially increased by judicious and
persistent advertising Banking is only a
business says the Financier 1T is a
dignifed calling, but frigid reserve, aloof-
ness. self-complacency and a magnified air
OF individual Importance are not the only
essentials I'm making 1t successful" Diff
ferent conditions would, of course, require
different methods of advertising, as a mode
that would prove successful in small
town would not succeed in a city. In a
large city where daily newspapers are pub
lished they offer the best and cheapest
method of advertising. The point is that
the banking business car be benefited by
advertising just as any other business can,
and that. other things being equal. the
bank that ''hustles' for business will get
the lions share. Bank officers who shiver
at each call of the controller OF the cur
rency because the law requires them to
print the name of their institution in a
newspaper are behind the times.
