CAN NOW BANK YOUR
SAVINGS BY MAIL
Extends Postal Savings System to
Accommodate People Living in
Rural Districts

Every person in the United states 10
gears ola or over may open an account
according to an instructive leatet on
the Postal Savings System lust issued
py Postmaster-General Burleson. This
important extension OF the service viii
be made possible by permitting persons
iiVlng in communities so sparsely set
tied as not to justify the designation
OF their local post Offices as regular
postal savings banks to open accounts
by mail
Governor Dockery. Third Assistant
Postmaster-Geperai. who has direct
supervision of postal savings. was so
impressed by appeals from all over the
country to open postal savings accounts
Dy mail that he took up the task some
weeks ago of working out a feasible
mand.
Unde the plan adopted by the POST
master-General for opening accounts
by mail an intending deposition, resid-
ing where there is no regular designat-
ed postal savings bank, will apply to
mis- local postmaster who will see that
necessary Identification data is prepared
and forwarded to a nearby post office
authorized to accept deposits. The in
tending depositor will then be given
permission to forward his first and
subsequent deposits by money order or
registered mail direct to the postmaster
at the banking point for which receipts
or certificates will be issued. He may
withdraw all or any part of his postal
savings by mail and on demand to-
gether with any interest thai may be
due him.
The new leafet points out that any
person 10 years old or over may open
an account in his or her own name; that
an account may be opened iby a mar
Iled woman free from ,anN,'control or
interference by her husband; that post
office officials are forbidden to disclose
TO any person. except the depositor, the
amount of any deposits; that with
dra may be made without previous
notice; and that the Government guar
antees to repay all deposits on demand
with accrued interest.
The leaflet will soon be printed in
twenty-five foreign languages for dis
tribution through the local post offices.
Postal savings receipts have broken
all records the past year. During the
eight months prior to April | there was
a net gain in deposits of $40. DOT. 900, as
against a gain OF s. $4,000, OO0 for the
same months the year before. Thou
sands of new accounts have been open
ed and the millions mad up largely
of hidden savings have been turned
back into the channels of trade just at
a time when there was pressing demand
for every dollar.
