RIG GAIN IN SAVINGS OF SMALL DEpOslTORsI

BANKERS in Atlanta Thirty Per Cent.

One well-known banker estimates

are negroes earning small wages.
However, the proportion that ac-
cumulates any considerable amount
is small. The tendency with the ne
gro is to save up, say SIS or 500,
and then draw it out. This is ac-
counted for as the result of the i'm
providence of relatives OF the de-
positors, sickness or the desire TO
travel. AS a general thing, however,
once a negro gets into the savings
bank habit he keeps it up, drawing
his money out, but later starting a
new account, and repeating this OPP
GRAFTON from time to time.
The amounts accumulated by ne
groes are nothing like that OF the
whites, even where the salaries or
wages are about the same, but the
bankers assert that, from obserya-
ton, the negro who saves at all
even a very small amounts a bet
ter citizen than the one who does
not.
OF white factory hands the
amount saved is small. This is east
ly accounted for. Wages are COM
paratively small, and, as a rule, the
families are large. Clerks, both
male and female, earning from 500
to $50, are as a rule imbued with
the desire to save, once they start it.
Atlanta is remarkable for the
number of women who earn fairly
good salaries as clerks, stenogfa-
pliers, dressmakers, etc, and they
are extremely careful of their saw
ings. AS a rule, although there are
exceptions, these young women have
families partially or wholly depend
ent on them.
In the vast majority of cases it
has been che experience of those who
have made a study of the question
that the person who saves eventual
ly is promoted in his or her calling,
be it ever so humble.
