BUENOS AYRES BANK

Savings Drive So Successful
That Other Institutions
Follow Example.

According to recent Government re-
vertising campaign conducted by the
Buenos Ayres branch of an American
bank was surprise to the Argentine
public as well As a shock to the dignity
OF many of the other banks. The re-
suits. however were most satisfactory.
and other banking institutions have be-
gun advertising on a small scale.
In October, 1917. the campaign was
started, and within fourteen months by
means Of newspaper and magazine ad-
vertisements. posters, window trans
fers and signs in street cars and sub
ways. appealing to workmen. children
and small investors. the depositors in
the savings department numbered more
than 1900, and the amount to their
credit was about $500, 900 pesos (Sl,-
sl2500 United States currency.
Posters and signs were placed in the
largest factories and an arrangement
made with the managers OF several to
make their New Year presents to the
employees IN the form of savings ac-
counts. More than 30 per cent Of the
men kept the accounts in the bank. and
a large number Of those who drew them
out are now reopening them.
A large increase noted at the end of
1918. when 1640 new accounts were
gained in December, was principally due
to the distribution OF small savings
banks or boxes which were lent to those
opening an account OF five pesos or more,
although accounts may be started with
an initial deposit as small as one peso.
Interest Is paid at the rate OF per
cent. per annum after sixty days, and Is
computed quarterly.
At first two men only were employed
In the savings department. but this
number has been increased TO eleven.
The accounts are kept by a modern card
system, which enables the work TO be
handled easily and without loss OF time.

and prestige from a bankers point OF
view, the whole idea has been beneh-
cial to the nation. for It has impressed
