ton They Are Essential Aids
to Business Building.
PRESENTS PRACTICAL PLAN
Savings Bank Division Of the Amerl.
can Bankers Association Omers
Prepared Newspaper Advertis-
Ing Service to Cover
Years Campaign.

More newspaper advertising Dy
banks as a business builder was
strongly urged at the recent conven-
tion of the American Bankers Asso-
citation by W. r. Morehouse of the Or
ganization's Savings Bank Division.
He backed up his plea with definite
action to stimulate advertising by
savings banks by calling the attention
Of the members to a prepared news
paper advertising service developed
by his division comprising copy to
meet their requirements for . years
advertising schedule.
ut is my firm conviction that banks
can use newspaper advertising with
great success" Mr.. Morehouse said.
Newspapers go into the honesty
their use as medium the people of .
whole community may be reached in
single day. Because bank cannot
directly trace large volume Of new
business to newspaper advertising
effective as business-builder.
"The fact that there are certain
kinds Of newspaper advertising which
do not produce good results ought not
to brand the medium as ineffective.
any more than the fact that because =
certain booklet or certain buiness-
building letter fails to pull would war
rant you in branding all booklets and
all letters as non-productive mediums.
How to Advertise
Newspaper advertising must be at
tractive and easily read II 1t is to
presented is not to the point. is too
deeply involved for the average mind
to grasp readily, is too full Of big and
uncommon words, 1t Is only natural
that 1t will not be read. II bank ad-
vertising is to accomplish its purpose
1t must be very simple.
DISCUSS only the subjects which
will make it easy for the public to
patronize your bank. Advertise your
bank, its financial stability. its officers,
directors and stockholders and you
will build prestige and strengthen pub
lie confidence in your institution.
Enumerate the various kinds Of ser
vice your bank is prepared to render.
1t has been my experience that tho
public is on the lookout for informa-
ton about banks. banking methods
and the kinds Of service rendered BY
banks. For quick results am 4 nrm
believer In sticking to subjects which
have 4 direct bearing on banks, bank
ing methods and service. until the
public has become better informed
about banks and the wide variety Of
services rendered by them.
A New Plan
"1f you have not been successful
with newspaper advertising try this
plan. Confine your Advertising within
the scope Of banking and especially
enumerate the various services which
your bank is prepared to offer. Boil
down every advertisement to one hun
dred words or less. preferably less.
Use headings which arouse interest at
glance. For example, q head IN
TEREST FROM DATE will inspire
action on the part Of persons with idle
funds to deposit because interest
starts from the time savings accounts
are opened. A heading 'PROTEC-
TON FOR YOUR vALUABLES' will
inspire action on the part Of persons
in need Of protection"

passed away at the R. D. Brown home
here on Friday night, Nov. End. Mrs.
Nelson, whom we all knew as Grand
ma, has been very patient during her
illness. She has always been a very
kind and good hearted lady and has
made host of friends in her life
time. She departs from this world
at the ripe old age of 81 years, 8
months and % days, having lived in
this vicinity since 1886. She has been
an invalid during the last few Of her
declining years, but despite the fact
that she has been forced to spend the
most of the time in bed, she has al
ways remained the cheerful, kind and
loving person that We knew her. The
sympathy of the entire community
goes out to the family in the loss of
the staff of the family, Mother, whom
we should always look on as an angel
whether she be alive or dead. May
the Lord bless her and keep her.

WAGERING ON DERBY
STUNS The PROBERS
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, June THE members of
the house of commons committee
which is Investigating the question
CT taxing betting attended the Derby
at EPSON Downs yesterday as guests
of the Jockey Club. Several of the
committeeman. habitual frequenters
Of the race track, acted as guides for
their colleagues who had never seen
the horses run.
These NJ. P.'s main impressions con-
cerned the universally of betting
and the insignificant part the actual
racing played in the pleasure Of the
enormous crowd. only a small frac-
tion of which was able to see the
race.
Isaac Foot, one of the novices, said
he and his fellow innocents were
amazed at the extent of the betting e
business and staggered by the amount
of money which changed hands. They
came to the conclusion, he added.
that an attempt to prevent betting
would be about as feasible as trying
to turn back Niagara.
Several members of the committee
went away convinced that 1t would
be impossible, at least on such an
occasion as Derby day, to collect a
tax on betting.
