National Banks.

Have proved to be the safest banking
institution in the world; but few have
ever failed, and that few have paid 7s
per cent of their total liabilities
This exceptional record of stability
has established great confidence on

them the greater part of the banking
business, wherever National Banks are
located
One feature of National banking laws
in particular has added to their strength
viz-the public reports of condition,
which show the depositors in such banks
