Eve,y Irung Office offers a complete
banking service
Every service of the Irving is available at
each Of its nine District Offices, located in
nine of the most important business centers
of Greater New York. (See complete list
above.) Each one of these Offices is a COM
plete banking unit. Each is responsible for
its own activities. Each is in charge of
Vice-President or Manager, and an opera
ting staff: thoroughly familiar with the
banking requirements of the neighborhood.
Yet backing up each one, and at the
command of every depositor, are all the re-
sources, all the services Of the highly spe-
cialized departments, and all the facilities of
one of the great commercial banks of the
United States.
A visit to the nearest Office and a talk

these facilities can serve you in your business

\ CERTAIN business required
IN not only large-sca]e borrow
ing, but also large-scale dealings in
foreign exchange. For this they had
established connections with large
bank located in another part of the
city.
But every week they had pay
roll. Every day they had deposits
to make. For this they chose local
bank-a bank around the corner
from their place of business.
And SO there was this double ar
rangement-a situation that meant
waste of time and great inconven-
lence.
Today this company has overcome the
difficulty. Like many other firms it has found

Massachusetts Chamber of Commerce
Wants Conference to Provide
Financial Backing.

SOSTON, June PA definite step
| toward the rehabilitation OF agriculture
in New England through the establish
ment of favorable conditions of financ-
ing has been taken by the Massachu-
sets state chamber OF commerce, i'm a
| letter sent to q. ". Hyde, secretary of
the Massachusetts State Bankers as
ISOLATION, at the First National bank
OF Boston. This letter urges the state
banking association to call confer
cnce with the state federation of farm
bureaus, the object OF which shall be
to ind some way by which the agri-
cultural interests of Massachusetts may
get financial backing.
The letter also embodies resolutions
unanimously passed at meeting of the
board of directors of the state chamber
as follows: Whereas, the decline of
New England agriculture is a serious
menace to New England industries, and
is due not to natural causes but to arUI-
hcial causes which can be removed: and
whereas, to remove the causes OF the
decline in New England agriculture and
put it on a business basis on a large
scale are essential, and cannot be eff
fected without adequate financial back
ing, be it therefore resolved, that the
directors of the Massachusetts state
chamber of commerce respectfully and
earnestly suggest that the Massachu-
the president and the directors of the
Massachusetts farm bureau federation
to conference, to the end that some
way may be found whereby agricultural
interests in Massachusetts may get r.
nanciaI backing

Massachusetts, steadily increasing. the
acreage devoted to raising food for this
reputation i as steadily decreasing, but
that the tide westward which has con-
Etautly drawn the pioneers away from
MaSsa chusetts Is now turning them
back to this state and that this is true
of all New England, making possible
decided change in the agricultural sltua-
tion ii agriculture Is given the proper
