of the year" last night said Rich

"A review Of the subjects to be

For the FIRST time the American
Bankers Association is devotInG
major attention to the subject OF
advertising.
Advertising has been such a fac
tor in modern bank development
that its careful consideration is only
natural by this association repre-
senting $4,000 American banker"
said w. P. Sharer. newly elected
president Of the Midland Bank at
Cleveland, and chairman Of the pub
lie relations committee Of the A B.
A. The real wonder is that IL has
escaped this substantial recognition
on the part Of q profession that has
made its most rapid strides with the
aid Of advertising"
Advertising and public relations
work is being rapidly developed to
its full Importance in the sssocia-
tion. The new constitution which
will be adopted at this meeting
makes our present committee a com
mission, and establishes the work as
one Of the big departmental bureaus
of the Offices in New York. With
a permanent bureau in charge, the
bankers attention to this important
factor will be encouraged in every
legitimate way, by example and in
a clearance Of the better bank ad-
vertising ideas"
A special bank advertising con
ference has been called by Presi-
dent Hawes for tomorrow night

II is to these problems that the
forty sixth annual convention Of the

Notes of Bankers
From Their 46th
Convention

w E. Wilcox. the dean of bank
examiners" who is now vice presi
dent and cashier of the Anglo and
London Paris National Bank of San
Francisco, Cal. was among the
early arrivals at the A. B. A. head
quarters.
Wilcox, who was formerly chief
rational bank examiner Of the
Twelfth district and prior to that
national bank examiner at large for
more than twenty years, has spent
the last few days renewing ole
friendships at the Treasury Depart
ment where he is known by prac.
tically every one from the Secre-
tary down TO elevator boys and
messengers.
During his term OF service as
bank examiner at large, Wilcox has
had many interesting experiences
among them being two trips with
dog teams to the banks of the
Yukon in the dead of winter He i.
accompanied on his visit to Wash

BANKERS CONVENED
HERE BACK IN 1906

This is the second time the
American Bankers Association has
held an annual convention in
Washington. The FIRST convention
to be held here convened on Octo-
ber l3, 1905.
The a. B. A. will have on its
roster when the convention opens
over $4,000 members, repre- senting
a growth from 800 in 1875, the
year it was organized. AS the as
soCiation expanded in members its
service to the membership has reg
istered corresponding increase
The trust company section was or
EaniZed in 1896. the savings sec
tion in 1902. and the clearing house
section in 1906. Then followed the
State secretaries section in 1910,
tn State bank section and the ma
tional bank section in 1915. About
1908 the legal department was
added, and the protective depart
mont has lonG been one Of the as

RURALBANKER

Two-thirds of Banking In.
stitutions in Nation Are
In Country.

When it is considered that of
some 10000 banks in this country
more than 10000 are situated in
strictly rural communities - that
the prosperity of two-thirds OF our
financial institutions depends upon
the success of the business of farm
ing, the need OF the bankerfarmer
cooperation becomes readily ap-
parent, last night declared Joseph
Hirsch. of Corpus Christi, Texas.
president Of the agricultural COM
mission of the A. b. A.
Hirsch-one of the big four" of
the A. B. A.-arrived in Washing
ton last night from Atlantic City
where he addressed the National
Implement Dealers Association con-
vention.
The chief work of our commit =
tees up to This time has been the
stimulation of improved agricul-
tural methods, the purchase of bet
ter livestock, etc, but we are be-
ginning to learn that the greatest
assistance We can render the farmer
is in the marketing of his prod
ucts." said HirsCh.
1t is undeniably fact that
prices received by farmers are sadly
disproportionate to the amount paid
by the ultimate consumer. The
farmer needs the guidance of bank
ers and business men in marketing
his products more than in any other
line of effort.
The crying need of the South,
the country from which l hail, is
the establishment of a system of
warehouses and a process of grad
uated marketing by which our farm
ers may safely store, insure and
sell their cotton crop over the
twelve months period of time that
it takes the world to consume it,

BANK DELEGATES TO INSPECT
PRINTING OF NEW CURRENCY
AND DESTRUCTION OF OLD

Many out-of-town bankers no
doubt will visit the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing to see the
birth of the crisp. new bills and
the equally interesting process by
which Uncle Sam destroys old, worn
or mutilated currency.
Every year millions of dollars in
currency is destroyed by the gov
errment in redemption of mutilated
or partially destroyed bills received
from national banks all over the
country.
Just as much care is taken in
macerating old bills" as in printing
new ones.
Under provisions of Section 51S4
of the United States Revised Stat
utes, a section Of the national bank
act, worn, mutilated or partially
destroyed circulatory notes may be
redeemed by banking institutions
upon presentation to the Treasury.
Bills are received in varyin 8
quantities and after being sorted.
counted and inventoried are turned
over to the office of the Comptroller er
