phrase-maker to attract at
tention.
The advertisement of fifty
years ago would attract no
attention today. There are
too many things to read
too many interests and ac-
tivities to engage and absorb
the public mind. A bank ad-
vertisement of fifty years ago
which published the names
of the directors and the cap
ital and resources of a bank
would never draw the modern,
busy American into a bank.
1t had no educational value
no appeal along the lines
of Thrift and Investment. 1t
did not carry any message
as to the uses and functions
of a bank. Nowadays the
successful bankers must come
down off their dignified
perches and publicly acknowl-
edge that they have some
thing to sell besides the re-
spectability and impeccability
of the directors. The National
Bank sells a service that is
essential to all business enter
prise. The Savings Bank sells
a Service plus the Opportunity
to Save and draw interest on
the savings. II must show
the wage-earner how to keep
his spare dollars at work.
1t is true that many con-
servative bankers are still
advertising in the same old
way-printing a picture of the
bank building and publishing
the names of the directors
but they are doing business
on the sacred memories of
the past. They are standing
pat on Reputation and Pres
tige. The cashier Is the

Furs.

The fur auction conducted by
the New York Fur Auction Sales
Corporation last week proved
conclusively that there Is an out
let for GOOD skins at the proper
prices.
There was an absence Of specu-
lative buying. but q real demand
for good ,furs. Among the best
sellers were beaver. Australian
opossum. squirrel neutria. marten
and fisher. Muskrat showed small
gains over the January prices. as
did skunk and American opos-
sum.
Ccntrasted with open market
prices. however. the last named
groups registered declines.
The fairly good buying also re-
vealed the fact that the fur trade,
taken as a whole. is far from
"flat" financially. Credit restric-
uons have been imposed upon the
trade. and. presumably. were i'm
posed on the bidders at the sale
before the event started.
It 10 inferred. then. that those
dealers who operated at the sale
have ample funds back Of them to
swing their purchases.
