.27 MILLION BANK
DEP0SITORS IN U. S.
Thrift Habit Is GroWing-W. S.
S. Held Responsible for
Savings Boost.

There are $1,000, 600 savings bank
depositors in the United States. These
figures became public at the recent
convention Of the American Bankers
Association at St. Louis, and in COM
piling them due allowance was made
for Implications. Investigation by the
ments led to additional savings,
bank depositors are, with few excep-
tions, people Of small means, but they
are the people who absorbed in large
measure the war issues Of Govern
ment securities, Thrift and War Saw
ings Stamps, Savings Certificates, and
Liberty bonds.
Not only did they buy and hold Gov
ernment securities, but those invest
vestments led to additional savings
consolidated the habit Of thrift, and
the entire nation. These 2T.OOO, ,0OC
depOsitors now own $1O,5T3, ,971, 900 OF
savings.
This is the money which has built
up the railroads, municipalities
homes, and industries OF the nation
! These savings represent over % pei
cent Of the total resources. The
savers financed the war successfully
and on their continuation Of the pro-
dUction Of new capital through saw
ings rests the solution for financing
reconstruction and for the increase
Of production necessary to check the
high cost Of living.
The Government savings securities
and Liberty bonds offer ideal means
for the production Of this new capital
They are adapted for investment OF
all sums no matter how great or
small. They are the safest security
possible. They are profitable and
readily convertible into cash should
necessity arise. Their purchase not
only aids in financing the Govern
ment, releases corresponding capital
from the banks and financial institu-
tions for expansion Of industry and
development OF production.
The figures compiled by the Bank
ers' Association show that IN the flve-
year period ending January Of this
year, saving deposits in State banks
increased 59.47 per cent; IN mutual
savings banks, 1896 per cent: in stock
savings banks, 1904 per cent: IN trust
companies, 2A82 per cent; and in ma.
tional banks, 1885 per cent
IL also was announced at st. Louis
that there were 36.OOO.OOO policy hold
ers IN life Insurance companies in the
United States.
