BIG DEMAND FOR
SAVINGS BANKS
Nearly 1000 Had Been Issued
by Wilmington Trust Co.
at Noon

That the people OF Wilmington have
a tendency to save money and are will
ing TO grasp opportunities to assist
them in saving is shown by the great
demand that has cropped up for the
pocket banks of the Wilmington Trust
Company.
Just 9S3 OF the little banks have been
issued 10 Wilmintgoniens since last
Tuesday at noon and the demand. for
them IS still growing. The public knew
nothing of these banks until the trust
company inserted its advertisement IN
THE EVENING JOURNAL and other
newspapers last week, and they have
gone like wild fire. The sole object
or the pocket banks Is to induce peo-
pie to cultivate the habit OF saving
at al ltimes The banks are locked
and have an opening into which coins
OF any size may be slipped but cannot
be extracted. At regular Intervals the
holder takes his bank to the Whining
ton Trust Company's offices, where an
Official removes the contents ana cred
its It 70 the holders savings account.
1t is expected the number Of banks
distributed will far exceed 1900 by to-
night.
