The Thrifty Nations.

The department OF Commerce ana Labor has
been making certain investigations which
throw considerable light upon the thrift OF
many of the leading nations of the world and
from the reports made many interesting facts
may be CLEANED.
The total of individual savings deposits in
banks in the United States Is greater than that
OF any other country, reaching the enormous
total of s3060,000000. In number of depositors
the United States ranks sixth among the
twenty-three nations reporting, the number
Of depositors In this country being reported as
100000, or about one in ten OF our population.
This would indicate that there is still field for
the wide awake banker to solicit new business
and to bring home to the other nine tenths the
Importance and necessity of saving something
against the proverbial "rainy day." IL you are
one of the nine. tenths you ought to be think
ing about starting YOUR bank account and
while you are thinking about IL, why not de-
eide to send your first deposit to the Granite
Savings Bank and Trust Company, Barre, VT.
Write for booklet, Banking by Mail.")
The average deposit, too, Is greater in the
United States than in any other country; the
average being slSl.s9 But when we consider the
deposit per inhabitant the amount falls to 1878
and there are nine countries that make better
showing; little Denmark taking the lead with
fs6.4l for every man, woman and child within
1t may be OF interest at this time to compare
the saving propensties of the residents of Russia
and Japan. The average deposit in Japan is
the smallest of any country reported-S5.4S.
Russia's average is $500. On the other hand
Japan has 7,467 900 depositors-160,OO more
than the United States-and Russia has only
4,s50,000. So that Japan with q much smaller
country and a much smaller population has
90 per cent more deposits in her savings banks
than has her gigantic adversary. The total saw
1ngs IN Russia, however, are more than ten
times those reported for Japan, the figures being
Russia, s445, 10000, (only seven countries re-
porting larger amount) and Japan, $4,000, 900.
The average deposit per inhabitant In Russia is
S3l6 which Is exceeded by IS countries, while
Japsn's average is only ninety cents per inhabi-
tant only one country, India, reporting small
er average.

THE WAY THE NEwSBOY DID IT.
An Illustration Of Persistent Saving.

Anyone who has the will to do it cansave.
Anyone who is willing to make a modest
beginning, adding dollar after dollar as
they can is on the right road. Every boy
and every girl ought to start a bank
account as soon as they get dollar to-
gether; and they ought to be early taught
the value OF persistent, systematic saving.
In December, 1903, 4 very small boy
came into certain bank and said he
wished to open an account. He was a
very small boy indeed His head barely
came to the top of the counter. The de-
posit, however, was bigger in proportion
than the boy. There were quarters and
dimes and nickels and pennies, the whole
amounting to ten dollars. The question
was asked, "where did you get all this ~
And the reply was, "sellin' papers," II
developed that for several weeks the boy
had been saving his pennies and other
coin until finally it occurred to him that
he would like to deposit his money in the
bank and accumulate a little interest.
Since that first deposit fifteen months
ago the account has steadily grown.
Every little while dollar or two has
been added until at the present time the
account amounts to more than sixty-six
dollars-and the boys head isn't level
with the counter yet.
Now il that little news boy can save s66
in year and half don't you think ii
might be worth while for you to make a
beginning Don't you believe that Won
spend good many dollars fooIishly that
you could save and never miss them
The Granite Savings Bank snd Trust
Company, Barre, VT, would be glad 10
send you a pass book in exchange for a
dollar and to care for every dollar you can
save. Deposits may be safely sent by
mail. Better do it NOW.
