SAYINGS FuND,s FINE SHOWING.

VHTE have before us the eighyfourth annual state
w ment OF the Wilmington Savings Fund Society.
It makes a splendid showing. The period covered is
the year ended December 81, 1915. It also should be
said that during that year the society paid four
per interests deposits. 1t is Of the boasts
Of the society that during It's long history it has paid
20 depositors larger percentage Of interest than
similar institutions in other cities close to Whining
ton. It has paid as much as FIVE and one-half per
cent, and less than four cent. The rate in
Baltimore is three per cent and in Philadelphia, 365
per cent Another that despite the higher
interest paid by the local institution, it has
money in its contingent fund a protection to de-
postors than have many savings banks paying lower
interest on deposits.

notice that the society has $4232OO5 invested in mort
cages on real estate Inquiry reveals that all of that
amount except $4,000 is invested right here in New

ter Traction Company collateral trust bonds In ad-
dition it has large investments in the securities OF ola
and well-established railroads which pass through
this city. ...t..
