Until 1879, when Edison produced

unknown. And Edisen's work was
supplemented by discoveries made In

came tungsten and the gas-hlled lamp.

THE MYSTERIES OF BANKING
GOING THE way Of OTHER PUZZLES
How Bank Grows Out of the Needs Of the Community
Explained-Makes Money by Rendering
Services to Business.

Soon there will much left to be puzzled about at
the the public being let into the Of things
and along the American Bankers Association with
plan taking mystery out Of banking Through its
Committee Public Education it is giving series Of lectures
In the schools throughout the country and publishing series
Of articles explaining just how and why banks work The first
Of these which make mighty interesting reading,

their deposits. Since every deposit
or tries to keep q fair-sized balanc
in the bank, there II always NOR
money ON hand than is needed to pa
those whs are drawing against thei
deposits. The law requires that tn
bank keep q certain percentage o
the deposits in its vaults in actua
cash. This cash is called the bank
reserve. At the end Of the frs
month, let US say, the bank had in 1T
safe, as reserve, about twenty thou
sand dollars. There should Away
be enough cash held by the bank Il
take care of the normal amounts o.
money needed by its customers.
How Banks Earn Money
What does the bank do with It'll
capital stock and with the BALANCE Of
deposits in excess of the cash hold al
its reserve? Part Of the money from
the sale Of shares of capital stock, q
course, had to be spent for the bank
building and It's equipment, which
cost about twenty thousand dollars
The balance of the capital stock
would be thirty thousand dollars.
The balance of the deposits In excess
of the reserve at the end Of the first
month was eighty thousand dollars.
This was one hundred and ten thou
sand dollars In all. It was invested
or loaned out at interest to business
people Of good standing, who prom
tsed to repay the money to the bank
in thirty, sixty, or ninety days. The
interest on these loans and invest
ments provides the earnings of the
bank, out Of which salaries and other
expenses are paid. This practice Of
loaning money is called discounting,
or giving credit. Credit II what the
bank deals In. Just a. the merchant
buys and soils goods, 30 the banker
buys and sells money and credit.
THE assets Of q bank, Just as in
the case Of q store or other business,
are the property owned by the bank.
They are cash on hand, promissory
notes representing the money loaned
out at interest to borrowers, the bank
building, and 30 forth. In like man
nor the liabilities are what the bank
owes to others, to tho stockholders,
to dspositors and 70 forth. As the
town grows and the business Of the
expands, the deposits Of
the bank become larger and other
banks organize. No matter how large
cur great city banks become, they are
al organized and conducted upon the
same principle and for the same pur-
pose Is the bank in the small town.
