 MT. Harding began by expressing his | heart felt pleasure at being able to meSt | so many of his banking friends In his introductory remarks he manifested much ! emotion. He said that the eulogies and the demonstration in his honor had not only touched him but has made him very
 humble. Mr Harding said that he would
 not make form3l speech and would have very little to say about the federal reserve board, but would indulge in reminiscent talk. He related that he came to Birmingham 2S years ago, and in singularly entertaining manner told Of the pioneer days. Tn 1SS6, he said we had the land boom. People were so busy trading in lots that little else was thought of or attempted. But later on interest was developed in the banking
 business. Mr. Harding said that when
 the combined deposits of the banks here reached the $1,0O000O mark he thought we
 were getting ahead fast, but we look back and smile, he remarked, when we think of our bank deposits now. Recently
 the total deposits of the Birmingham banks reached BPS, 600 GOO, which was as
 much If not more, the speaker said, than the total deposits of the Chicago banks 40 years ago. Il verify believe that within
 the next 30 years the Birmingham banks
 will have deposits totaling $500, GOO, GOO, ,' said MT. Harding. 'I cannot help being an optimist While Birmingham as a coal and iron center has it's Impressions as well as it's periods of prosperity, this district goes forward and is greater at the end of each period than 1t was be- fore.''
