RICHMOND BANKS
STAND TOGETHER
Will Not Let Sister Institution &c
Under Money Never So
Easy TO Get on Security.

Money is the cheapest commodity IN
Richmond to-day, and the easiest to get
provided the security is good.
Richmond is in more prosperous con-
dition to-day from a financial as wen
as any other standpoint than ever before
in its history.
The banks are doing a fine business.
They have plenty of money .and are
letting it out in safe channels at re-
markably cheap rates
The banks are doing 3 great deal Tor
Richmond They will not let a sister
bank 60 to the wall. When a BANK
gets into trouble on account of bad IN
yestments or injudicious management,
that institution is not allowed to close
its doors and the report go to the world
that Richmond has bank failure with 4
long list of sufferers. but one OF the
other banks, with al prosperous record
and a bright future will come along and
pick it up, absorb it, take care OF the
depositiors That very thing has been
seen in Richmond not so long ago.
But here is a thing which Richmond
and the entire country is confronted with
Just now, the willingness of people who
have money to invest it or touch it where
it is in bank until after this month IS
out This is more true of New YORK
people than it is of Richmond. a few
days ago a gentleman here found out
how he could place some money in safe
way that would be advantageous to all
concerned, SO he wrote to New York
to business friend and laid the matter
before him. The reply came back that
the gentleman expected to rest during Au-
gust. and he woul DIDO nothing until Sep
TENDER He would be glad to take up MS
proposition after he came back in the fall
for business And this is the substance
of almost every reply that comes from
New York about business.
Richmond never made such strides be-
fore People who live here notice It,
but it is not SO conspicuous in their
eyes as in those who know Richmond
well, but have been away for three or
four years Just such a person is the
Rev. H. C. Garrison, formerly pastor Of
the Marshall-Street Christian Church. Mr..
Garrison is visiting the city after an
absence of about four years. He was
astounded when he beheld the growth of
Richmond. When he came down on
Main Street and beheld the street cars
all crowded with people he could hardly
believe this was the quiet, easy-going
place Of a few years ago. The people
are moving faster along the street, their
looks are intent, the spirit of get there
is upon them. The city has taken the
tide at the flood.
