Bank for Savings, one Of the best
known institutions in the city, failed
to oren for business.
Tackled to the front deer was a
notice which said that it had been
closed by order of the Pennsylvania
banking department, and G. II. Getty,
bank examiner, had been appointed
temporary receiver.
1t was known in the financial dis
trict that the bank had been unable
to weather the storms it has encount
cred since the failure Of James S.
Kuhn and w. S. Kuhn, said to have
been identified with the bank in 1913.
4 run at that time continued several
days, 3ut strong interests went its
assistance, and the doors were not
closed

sons who hitherto had Lyt heea ide1
titled with tho taefitutjon Oh s'ach-
holders surrendered ,aeir holdings,
and it was understood I1,""'h 70
that the situation wa much :mHr.,.
The announcement came as T. dtstin't
shock.
The Pittsburgh Bank for Saw es
was chartered in 1862 with a capital
stock OF. 100000. In 1901, it absorb.
ed the Real Estate Savings bank, and
in 1908, the capitalization was increas,
ed to 100000 by a stock dividend
from surplus.
Depositors of the bank included
many persons with savings accounts,
although the institution did a general
business. Deposits on September Is,
1915, were $10,945,713, according to
the report made to the banking com
missioner On the same da'e, the
surplus was reported at S403,5l4.
It was stated that the bank had ap.
proxim9tcly 1900 depcsitors, OF
whom fully $4,000 lived in other parts
of the country, as the bank was
among the first to take savings &C.
counts by mail.
The savings of some 4t,000 school
children are included in the banks
deposits. BY this plan, school chill.
dren would take their money to school
on a certain dav Of each week. and
a collector for>tho bank would call at
the various school buildings, givins
them credit on their. books for tie
amounts deposited. This>practice was
in effect FOR years, and many thou.
sands Of dollars had been deposited
by the children. Il was said that
scores of successful persons in the
city, who began saving in this way
have continued their business re,a
tions with the institution ever since.

reasons for the exodus.
