$4,000 In
POSTAL BANK
Uncle Sam Saves Large
Amount for New
Americans
ONE DEPOSITOR
HAS $500 ACCOUNT

At the present time residents OF
Wilmington have on deposit in the
custody of the United States through
the postal savings system, $4,000.
This money is kept in three local
banks by Uncle Sam.
In an interview today Postmaster
VI. Howard Jester spoke very highly
OF the local savings and other banks.
yet The most of the $4,000 he added
would not be i'm any of the institu-
iions. IL il were not for the postal
savings bank "Most Of this money"
said Mr.. Jester has been deposited by
persons who never had their money
IN any savings institution, but kept
b. az home. Foreigners" he said
are largely represented among the
depOsitors in the postal savings bank.
many OF whom viii not deposit their
savings In a local institution, this
despite the fact that in no city in the
country are there any more secure
banking institutions than in VIII
mington."
The fact that there is now 100000
in the postal savings fund in Whining
ton, shows the necessity Of postal
savings bank here. AS most of this
money never would have been de-
posted in the regular banks aud has
been received by the government and
placed in these institutions, shows
that the latter are being benefited and
not injured by the presence of the
postal savings system,l might also add
that since the Inauguration of the gov
ernmens savings plan the foreign post
Office money order business in the
country has fallen off S7,OO0,00O in
one year. Foreigners are now keep
ing their morey ia the country and
the biggest portion OF it nas been de-
posted In the postal savings bank
and in turn is placed IN the various
banking institutions in the country by
the government
There have been very fcw- ac-
counts withdrawn from savings banks
in Wilmington and deposited i'm the
postal savings bank II is not the de-
sire of the Government that such
money shall be withdrawn from these
institutions. Only recently / had an
aged man come TO me and state ht
had $1,000 on deposit in a local bank
and desired to place it in postal sav.
ings bank ] advised him to keep his
money just whore he had Il, as the
bank was a splendid one and he need
not be alarmed, as it was in goot
hands
An instance OF the good that tho
postal savings bank does is a boot
black i'm Wilmington who has heer
saving his money and making week
ly depo its in the postal savings banl
until he now has $500 He reache,
this sum, which is the limit the GOV
ornment will take, yesterday. and HI
withdrew IT, and was induced to place
it in a local bank He never had an.
money IN bank before. II can thu
be seen that the postal savings insti
tuition is benefit rather than detri
ment to the banking institutions.
