TO HELP YOU SAVE
NEW POSTAL BANKS OPENED FOR
BUSINESS IN EVERY STATE
IN UNION.
The New System Expected to Prove a
Boon to the Poorer Glasses, and
10 Intended to Encourage Thrift
Of all Glasses of Citizens.

Washington.-Through the practica
institution of the postal savings banl
system on Tuesday, January 3, the
United States government will give the
people facilities for saving a part Of
their earnings.
Tie establishment of these banks is
regarded as the most far reaching fin.
ancial step taken by the government
since the authorization of national
banks. and their operation will be
watched with interest by financiers
throughout the world.
The system Is to be inaugurated on
a comparatively small scale. One post.
office in each state and territory has
been selected as a depository.
In those forty-eight offices. a thor
ough test will be made. 1t was decided
to make the beginning thus small,
not only because no adequate appropri-
was available to put it into gem
operation, but also because the
plan adopted differs entirely from that
any other system in the world.
No passbooks will be furnished de-
pcsitors, but all deposits will be evil
by engraved postal savings GER
tificatos, issued in fixed denominations
Of 81, 81. S., $40, 500 and $50, each
bearing the name of the depositor and
date on which interest begins to
accrue.
by the terms of the law. no account
Tor less than 81 may be opened and no
person may deposit more than 500 in
any calendar month, or have to his
'redlt at any one time more than $500.
exclusive of accumulated interest.
Accounts may be opened by any per-
son over 10 year old, in his or her
'wn name, and by married women in
he1r W names. The count of
wives cannot be interfered with or con-
rolled by the husbands.
