State Savings Banks Fine Years
Record

The State Savings Bank, of Owosso
has just celebrated its first anniver-
sary. 1t was organized early in 1907
but not opened until June 3, of that
year, the delay in beginning business
being attributable to the desire OF
the officers to have a home of their
own before inviting patronage.
The capital of the bank is $4,000
and in the year which has elapsed
since its opening it has paid six
per cent dividend to its stockhold-
ers; in addition a surplus of $4,000
has been accumulated and the total
footings Of the bank reach $3.50, 900.
The officers believe this to be a
greater growth than has been accom-
plished by any bank in the state in
city of the size of Owosso.
The bank is housed in two-story,
iron clay, fre-flash, pressed, brick
building, 22xS5 feet in dimensions,
occupying a prominent corner in the
city of Owosso. The exterior OF the
building is trimmed with copper, and
it is a strictly modern banking office
in every respect. The Office furni-
ture and fittings were specially made
for the bank, the interior finish being
IL mahogany, Swanton Verde antique
marble, American PavannaZZo mar
BILE, with mosaic floors, and the gen.
eral color scheme in green and ivory.

The assistant cashier of the new
bank is NJ. Miner.
The remarkable success of The
State Savings Bank of Owosso has
not been duplicated in a town of its
size in Michigan within recent years.
1t entered the field with a good deal
of competition, and had to make its
way by making a new clientage and
new friendships. Yet the policy of
the bank has been so broad and lib
eral as to attract to it large CONNER
cial and savings accounts. The. State
Savings Bank has achieved the posi-
ton of being one of the biggest of the
smaller banks in Michigan.
The city of Owosso, the home of
The State Savings Bank, Is located in
the center of Shiawassee county, one
of the most productive counties in
trial center. 1t boasts one of the
largest beet sugar factories in the
state; a 'casket factory, two furni-
ture factories and the Ann Arbor
railroad shops. Her big industries
will be added to in the near future
as two large plants are in course Of
erection, one for the Independent
Stove Company, and the other for
the Reliance Motor Truck Company.
Both of these industries are moving
from Detroit to Owosso, and ex-
pect to be doing business in their
new quarters within three months.
These factories do not comprise
all of industrial Owosso. There are
many otter smaller industries, which
help to make Owosso a live city

Is there enough attention paid to
elderly people to cheer them in their
declining years, Mrs. Hammond
thinks there is not, but she does not
think they do it on purpose-it is
done carelessly; Mr.. Sherman says
to hang a looking glass or a piece OF
bright tin in the cornfield, where the
sun can shine on it win drive away
crows.

recitation, Dorothy's Mistake.
Mrs. G.. Potter gave reading,
Texas is Called the Lone Star State,
which was enjoyed by all.
What is the weight of the human
soul, and how do they obtain the
weight. No one was certain about
this, but thought it was from one
to three ounces, and was obtained
by weighing the body just before
death and Immediately after death.
Miss Adelaide Fauth favored us
with a recitation, Little Miss Lucy
Lee"
How and what can we do to cheer
and brighten the life of the sad and
broken hearted. Mrs F. Love thinks
you can be cheerful and make things
pleasant.
Who was the first Methodist in
the world? Mrs. Hammond said
John Wesley was the first Methodist.
Mrs. Fauth said the U. s. minis
we're located at Philadelphia, Pa,
San Francisco, Cal, Carson City, New.

the elimination of the competition

employment of convicts in the prep
aration of road material and where
practicable and desirable in the con-
struction of state highways.
