POSTAL BANK AT WORK

Sioux City Journal: AT Bessemer,
Ala, the new postal bank has been
beseiged by would-be depositors from
other towns. Under the terms of
the experiment deposits cannot be
accepted only from residents of the
town in which the bank is located.
The eagerness of the outsiders to
get In on the good thing, however,
goes to show that there is real need
for postal savings banks in Alabama
This will encourage the department
to go ahead with plans for extending
the system, until every town that
wants one is supplied. Another en-
couraging sign came from New Eng
land which is already well supplied
with savings facilities. There was
much interest in the opening of the
new banks and the first day witness
ed an unexpected large number of
/ small deposits. At Leadville, Colo,
at the close of the first days business
| fifty accounts had been opened, many
of them by children. At Olympia,
Wash, depositors formed in line for
the opening, and at the end of the
/ first hour thirty-three persons in
GLIDING one woman had become de-
positors. At various places school
children opened accounts, some of
them beginning by purchasing ten
cent stamp cards, ten of which must
i be accumulated before the regular
deposit can be made.
For the present, it appears, the
postal department will do no adver-
Using of the new feature; leaving the
demand to develop normally. This
being the fact, it Is apparent that the
growth Of deposits will be compare
