It was characteristic of Frank Vanderlp
that in his address before the American Bank
ers' association, convened in Kansas City, ne
put all the emphasis on large constructive
policies instead of temporary expedlents.
So much has been printed on this page

of it.
Mr.. Vanderlip is more than a money expert
in the narrow sense. He knows that money IS
a medium, a means to the end Of service, con-
venience of the working, building world And

widespread interest in this direction that the
future can be made to take care OF Itself. Any
one having talents suitable for band or or

portunity. From the acorn grows the oak, and
from among the beginners of today will be
