Editor News-Times: South Bend
is a growing, prosperous city. This
being true; il is high time that she
take on city ways and city customs
and city needs. Not simply 10 make
her appear city-like, but because
cities demand such progressive ad-
vancements. The people in cities
expect city improvements and If
their expectations are not fully
realized a howl goes up that Is un-
quietable This is now true in
South Bend. A cry" has gone out
from the four corners OF the city
that the banks Of South Bend open
one evening each week for the
transaction of such business as the
people desire and demand.
This is necessary. First, because
economical people desire II. Sec
ondly. because it is convenient for
toilers who work from a. m. to 3
or D. m. No other time can they
make bank deposits conveniently.
Thirdly. the banks will grow finan-
cially as they encourage and assist
men. women and children 20 make
deposits by opening their banks one
evening each week.
BY using Mr.. Bryan's slogan:
Let the People Rule" There is
every possible chance for South
Bend TO keep abreast Of the times
and become in reality a bigger

A survey Of the economic situa-
