INTEREST IN
POSTAL BANK
Postmaster Jester and ASSlS-
tant Hickman Doing Some
Additional Work
100000 SENT ABROAD
In MONEY ORDERS

Postmaster M. Howard Jester and
Assistant Postmaster Leroy w. Hick-
man have been calling on the lead
ers of the various nationalities in
Wilmington, especially Poles and Ital-
ians, in an endeavor to interest them
in the postal savings bank which
is to be opened at the Postoffice on
September l. They are distributing
circulars setting forth the various
rules governing the placing of money
In the bank at the Federal Building.
That this will be fruitful is attest
ed by the fact that last year over
100000 was sent out of this country
through money orders issued by the
local postofice. II is to secure the
confidence Of these people that the
postal bank was created. The foreign
portion of all cities have hundreds of
residents who are timid about plac-
ing money in banks and it is expect
ed that they will deposit in the postal
banks of this country.
The Federal authorities will receive
the money, giving receipts for de-
posits. They will place the money in
some OF the local banks and the gov
ernment guarantees the deposits.
That the foreign element Is desiri-
GUS OF these institutions has been
manifested repeatedly at the local
Federal building when inquiries have
been made concerning the depositing
OF money, and it is expected that many
thousand dollars will be deposited at
the postoffice, money that now does
not find its way into a bank at all.
