His Career from Farmer Boy to
Banking Expert.
BY James II. Morrow.

The National City Bank Of New York, has
a capital of S25 100000. and deposits of eight
times as much. Frank Arthur Vanderlip is its
vice-president. Being asked what use wage
earners should make of their savings, Mr.. Van
derlip replied:
IAN answer TO that question would be long
article in itself Every man Should put away
something He ought TO begin to-day. not to-
morrow or next week. There are savings banks
in all cities which pay 3 or per cent interest
on deposits The money will be safe in them.
In the mean time. don't listen to those who
promise SO for 81. If such chances We're pos
sible they never would be advertised. When
any wage Garner, a carpenter. b0Okkeeper, clerk
or clergyman, has saved 500 or less, there Is
no reason why he cannot become the partner Of
Mr. Morgan in the United States Steel Corpora
rion or of the Vanderbilts in the New York
Central Railroad. or of Mr.. Hartman in the
Union Pacific The shares Of all those coTnpa-
MES are for sale
But they fuctuate in price"
Surely but If a blacksmith or a school teacher
will go to the banker who has his money and
ask If the purchase OF a certain stock at Il
certain price would be a conservative invest
r1ent he will get an honest answer. The
banker usually knows what IS going on. and
his Judgment is trustworthy. But really the
wage Garner ought to know the value of stocks
himself. He knows the prices of flour, meat and
shoes Frequently he can tell you about the
batting records of ball players If he can mas
fer the mathematical details Of pitchers. catch
ers and race horses, he can comprehend the
complexities of the stock market. Moreover, ii
would engage and centre his mind on some
thing worth while. I wouldn't have him specu-
late but 7 would ike to see him invest his saw
ings in sound stocks and become interested in
the great business enterprises of the country.
