Silent, though eloquent, testimony
as to the confidence of the people OF
Richmond in the national and State
banking institutions of this city Is
given in a statement OF the business
done in the postal savings bank at
the Richmond postoffice since its
establishment, September 80. 1911.
That the people of Richmond be-
leve in the stability of Richmond
banks is shown in the fact that though

OF the 407 accounts opened 2s7
have been closed. and there remain at
this time but 100 persons of Rich
mond's 10000 who are depositing
their savings in the Richmond postal

twenty women among the 100
depositors having accounts at the
Richmond postal bank. OF these
nineteen are married and eight are

A summary of the amount of bust

during the more than two years since
it's beginning shows that but little

of the postal savings turned their
savings into postal savings bank

following statement was made public:
Reports have come to the depart

of the existence upon the part OF

turn to that country with a view to
resume industrial operations In the
belief that prospective conditions
Justify such action.
Little Change For Better.
ut will be recalled that relief work
was carried out on a very broad scale
during the past summer in removing
Americans from zones of danger in
Mexico. The information in the pos
session of the department of state in

conditions have not changed in such
a way as to Justify an attempt to re-
turn TO Mexico and resume industrial
operations there and that any pur-
pose TO take such a step Is due TO
a Misunderstanding. or misrepre senta-
