Lending the Banks Money.

If the bank confined itself to receiv
ing money offered for deposit and pay
ing it out again on checks, it would
render a very great and necessary ser
vice to the individual and the commun
ity, but it would soon cease to exist,
because the life blood of all business
(profits) would be lacking. The OPP
Grafton of a bank is expensive, and to
hire clerks, pay rent, buy stationery
and build vaults, merely to protect
money and handle checking accounts,
without some source of income, would
prove a costly undertaking.
Therefore the bank must seek some
steady source of revenue. and finds it
in lending the money of its stockhold-
ers and depositors to those who can
use more than they have, and are will
ling to pay for the accommodation. And
only as it loans its funds, and gets
them back with interest can 1t long
operate as a going concern.
The peculiar fact of the matter is
that a dollar in the bank will do as
much work as from four to five dollars
