would leave the use Of epithets eX

GRAVEL SCREEN
IS FOUND GOOD

AS members OF the Board of
Water Commissioners were very
much impressed with gravel screens
on water wells during their inspeC-
ton trip to Camden Tuesday, they
may decide at a meeting tonight
to install wells with such indestruct-
ible screens at the RunyOn pumping
station. The board has learned tina
the life Of metal screens, such as are
now in use at RunyOn, is from five
to six years. Gravel screens are
held to be more costly, but many
times more valuable because they
are claimed 10 be in~destructible.
A week ago the board received
five bids for sinking en- or more
we'll with various kinds Of metal
screens and the highest, that of John
Pfeiffer. Jr., of Camden. who bid
$500 per we'll, was for gravel
screens, which interested the com
missiOners to no small degree. The
bids were referrd to a committee
Of the whole, which reported pro-
gress and held the subject of award
ing the contract in allegiance until
gravel screen wells could be viewed,
President Snedecker and Commits
sioners Grieye, Runyon and Sib'ey

THE PEOPLES .SA WINGS BANK
SAFE-SOLND-SUB SUBSTANTIAL BANK OF STRENGTH

Money has long been an inn
porlant factor in life, in death and
in every vocation to which man
kind may urn. just how long ago
the use Of money came in vogue
we are unable to state but we do
know that ii existed as far back
as the time of Pharoah for we are
informed in Genesis that Joseph
WAS sold into bondage by his
brothers. That his brothers re-
ceived thirty pieces of silver,
which was the money of that time,
from band of Midianites who
CHANGED to be passing through
their country at that early period
in the world s history.
A little later we learn that his
brethren when famine came into
their land, took money and went
down into the land Of Egypt to
buy grain. We are also told that
Joseph, having become first in the
house Of Pharoah. ordered the
sacks Of his brothers to be filled
and the mony brought to be placed
in the sacks with the grain which
they had bought. All along
through the various pages of Holy
Writ monetary exploits are noted
but in no place does it speak Of "A
bank. Banks were of more modern
times. The first banking business
of which there is any record was
transacted in Greece but it was OF
private nature and far different
from the great system OF banking
in vogue at the present time.
The first real bank of which
there is any record dates back to
the bank Of Barcelona in 140l.
This bank issued notes and did an
exchange business somewhat SINH
lar to the banks Of the present. In
1856 in the colony Of Massa-
chusetts Bay there was a bank es-
tablished that stood for many
years. But the era of modern bank
ing began with the eighteenth
century. Private banks formed the
first step toward the great bank
ing system Of the world of today.
And from this small beginning the
whole financial business of the
country has centered around the
Belding banner. (Belding, Mich.) 1889-1918, 1912-06-27

old patrons and to add many new
names to their large clientage.
The country bank always places
a certain portion Of its surplus
funds in the large financial centers
OF the country and no matter
whether you are large or small
depositor portion Of your money
finds It's way to these great centers
and in this way, if you are a de-
positor, you become one of the
spokes in the great wheel of COM
merce. The Peoples Savings Bank
welcomes the small as well as the
large depositor. Reader, it is use
less TO worry over the conditions
of life. Put your good money in a
good bank and be happy. For as
ripples follow the waves at sea,
so will prosperity come to him
who in the hour Of success builds,
for the hour of trial, competence.
A favored statement in the adj
vertising Of this bank is this:
T" Your Banking business solicit
ed, appreciated and protected. F"
What more can one ask? Are you
living to the end Of your income?
If SO, now is an excellent time to
stop. Begin today, lay by a little
each day OF. each week and when
the first year has rolled around,
look at your bank book. Stand in
front of your mirror and see your
self as you open it. Note the look
of surprise that illumines your
countenance as you realize what
a year has done for you. "Tall
oaks from little acorns grow"
is truthful saying. Let us cpl
gramize a little by saying that
large fortunes from little savings
spring. a commodious office and re-
ception room in the rear Of the
bank is available for the transac-
tior Of any business that requires
secrecy and YOU are always well
come there if you need its hos
pirality. The Peoples Savings
Bank issues drafts on New York,
Chicago and Detroit, and the Post
office Department of the United
States has designated them as a
depository for postal savings
funds.

Banking business. Under modern
conditions banking business has
become as essential to the growth
welfare and prosperity of IA com.
nunity as its grocery, dry goods
md clothing business, and the
owns or villages without bank
are about as scarce as the
1roverbial "hen'S teeth"
Now that we have dwell some
what at length upon the historical
end of the banking business, we
will direct our attention to one of
Belongs most hourishing and
substantial institutions, the Peo-
pies Savings Bank Of Bedding,
Michigan. Few cities in any part
of the country are possessed of
better or safer banking privileges
than are offered TO our citizens
through the medium Of the Peo-
pies Savings Bank.
The Peoples Savings Bank was
organized in 1893 for the purpose
of caring for the wants of our
then little city along the lines of
finance. The first officers Of the
bank were: +. r. Spencer, presi-
dent; Frank h. Chase, vice presi-
dent, and NJ. A. Reed. cashier.
With a good working capital to
begin with the People s Savings
Bank did a fine business from the
very first and no man who has
ever held dollars worth of stock
in this bank has ever had any rea-
son TO regret it. Money entrusted
10 this bank is as safe as money
entrusted to any bank, because
they have fire proof vault, a
burgler proof safe in the vault,
and are insured against burglary
or day light holdups in one Of the
strongest insurance companies Of
this country. Their vault is equip
ped with time lock which is in
Spected semi-annually by the Yale
& Towne Lock Co. and is insured
by the makers against any loss
which might result from the fail
IRE Of the lock to work as it
should.
The Peoples Savings Bank is
under the special supervision Of
the State Banking Department
