convention of the Illinois Bankers
association have been issued to
bankers all over the state and local

the trip to La Sale, where the
meetings will be held this year
All sessions will be conducted on

pared.
Several men big in banking cir
Giles of the country as well as rep
resentatives of labor and publica-
ton are booked for addresses. A
smoker, the annual dinner of the
association and auto trips to
Starved Rock and deer park are
among the recreation features.
There are several questions of con-
siderable Importance to be brought
up in the business session. includ-
ing changes in the regulations of
the association.
1t is believed that the 1919 con-
vention will be one of the largest
and most important the association
has ever held. The spirit of the
times is in direct contrast to that
which prevailed at the time of the
last convention, when war and its
urgent problems dominated all
thought and action With the re-
sumption of IRe normal condi-
tons, there is opportunity to give
more thought to those subjects
that are of vital interest to bank
ers. and the program has been ar
ranged with this in view. 1t also
will include speakers especially
qualified to discuss the important
problems of after-war readjust-
ment Of business conditions.
