| BANK ADVERTISING. The April number
/ of Profitable Advertising contains an article
| entitled Newspaper Space for Banks
| How the Leading Financial Institutions of
/ a Western City Have Progressed from Tiny
Cards to Substantial Advertisements y
The city is Spokane and it is only within
the past three years that the local banking
! institutions, of which there are nine, were
brought to realize the benefits to be derived
| from advertising. The Spokane bank most
persistent in its advertising has shown the
| greatest growth. Three years ago it stood
| fourth among SpOkane's banks, with de-
posts of million and quarter. Today
! with deposits of over four million dollars it
stands first and has distanced its nearest
competitor by an amount exceeding half a
million dollars The writer in Profitable
1 Advertising says that ''bank advertising
has undoubtedly proven beneficial to Spok-
ane N many Ways; that it "has been a
strong factor in making Spokane the imam
cial as we'll as commercial center of the rich
farming, mining and numbering districts
lying tributary; and that it has brought
savings departments in Spokane to the
front. ] n 1902 there was but one savings
institution in Spokane; today every one of
the nine banks and trust companies have
fiourshing savings department, and the
combined bank deposits have grown IN
three years from S7,00o,00o to Sl4,000,oOO.
The three banking institutions of Waldo
county-all strong, ably managed and grow
ing institutions-are represented every
week in our advertising columns. They
are: The City National Bank of Bel
fast, the Belfast Savings Bank, the Sears
port National Bank of Searsport and the
Waldo Trust Company of Belfast. The
latter, as well as the two National banks,
has savings department.
