ADVANCED STEP TAKEN ~ 10.
CAL BANKING INSTITUTION.
New system 10 In Charge Of Mr.. Jesse
EbeiIng and 10 Proving
Successful.

BY the adoption OF the finger print
method OF Identification. the Dollar
Savings & Trust Company OF this city
mas proved Its right to place among
the most progressive banks OF the
country. At a recent convention the
American Bankers Association hearth
~ endorsed the finger print method.
and is urging its use. Fully alive to
the possibilities OF the method. the
Dollar Savings & Trust Company has
purchased "Y & +" finger print out
ft from Albert Dittmar. local agent
for the Yawman Il Erbe Mfg. Co. OF
Rochester. y. Y. the worlds largest
makers OF filing systems and identifi-
cation equipment.
This new system has been installed
in the savings department Of the local
institution. and is in general charge
OF Mr.. Jesse +. Ebeling. who Is the
head OF this department. The plan is
exactly the same as that used by the
police departments OF the world, and
II q part Of the Bertillon system, now
In general use.
The value OF the finger print meth
cd Ia not limited to any one class OF
depositors. II affords protection and
convenience to all IL protects abso-
lutely against forgery or fraud. wheth-
er the deposftor be the owner OF
checking account or a foreigner who
cannot even write his name
This method OF Identification is
simple and efficient. being based on
the fact that no two persons have ex-
actly the same markings on the skin
Of their fingers. and that the mark
fngs OF an individuals finger tips do
not change in character from infancy
10 old age. II a cut OF burn leaves a
scar. the finger print becomes even
more impossible TO counterfeit. II no
scar Is left. the new skin bears identi-
cally the same markings as the old.

For IIIiterates and Children.

For iIIiterates and Children.
There are a great many persons in
every city who cannot write the Eng.
lish language. and TO them this new
method will indeed be a boon. Under
the old regime. the deposition must
make his mark. and that mark must
be witnessed by two persons known
TO the bank. Such witnesses are not
always easy to obtain. The resulting
delay Is aggravating to all parties
concerned.
To make finger print impression
on card. on the other hand. requires
nut naif minute. including the re-
moval OF Ink from the fingers.
In closing up the affairs OF the
Chippewa State Bank of White Earth
Mimi. discontinued By the Banking
Department OF that State last Febru-
airy. Kelsey s. Chase. head OF the
Department found that the depositcrs
mostly Indians from the Reservation.
had used thumb marks for identified
ton purposes. as they couldn't write
in most cases. In every instance the
imprint served Its purpose. and there
was no duplication by different
thumbs
Mr.. Chase was so much impressed.
that he is thinking OF asking the Leg.
islature TO consider introducing the
system in the banks.
Many customers of the Dollar Saw.
ings & Trust Co. have come 10 this
country from foreign countries during
recent years and still sign their
names according 10 the customs of
their respective fatherlands. To this
class OF depositors the Finger Print
Method will be particularly Welcome
]: will also be a great help to the
bank. as these people may sign their
names now according 10 the scripts
of their mother countries. but will
In short time. learn 10 write their
names in English. so that. without
the Finger Print Method. confusion
Is certain.
For the came reason. this method
will be very popular In The case OF
children. Children's signatures often
change completely in year or two.
but finger prints never change II
finger prints Of youthful depositors
are taken az the time the accoun, is
opened. there can he no question
abou; the identity ~ any future time.
