BANKS As ADVERTISERS.


Evangeline Banner.
Not many years ago it was generally
considered that bank advertising had
no special value and these institutions
contented themselves with a small
card containing the names of officers,
capital stock, etc. But with all its
conservatism the bank has come to
realize the value of advertising and
to-day the weekly and daily papers
of the State contain bank advertise
ments that are as timely and as
cleverly prepared as any other line OF
advertising. At present the many ex.
changes coming to our Office show
that the banks throughout the State
are carrying on an advertising cam
paign that is not only certain to in
crease their deposits, but is educa-
tional and helpful to the whole com
munity.
The educational value of such ad.
vertising, carried on as it now is in
all parts OF the State, can not be over
estimated. There are thousands OF
people who will be made to think of a
deposit in a bank, savings, state or
national. 1t is habit easily acquir-
ed and habit that grows. Let man
once get the first 800 in the bank and
he develops an ambition to make it a
81 900. And there is no habit that is
more helpful. Thousands of people
go through life saving nothing. A
little thought given to the matter
would enable them to have at least a
small bank account against times OF
adversely. 1t would be to them and
to their families the most comforting
thing in the world"
Let the campaign of education 60
on. 1t is one of the best ever under
taken in the State.
