TELLS BANKERS
TO ADVERTISE

! There Is no greater medium Of edu.
cation in our daily life than the news
paper, and, OF all mediums offered for
bank advertising. the columns Of the
newspapers reach the innermost cir

Los Angeles banker, told the confer
ence OF the Savings Bank Division.
American Bankers Association, held
there recently.
advertising, one of mans modern
selling forces, has found a fixed place
In the banking field" Mr.. Flint said.
This, too, In the face of dire predic-
tons Of many old-time bankers, who
once ridiculed the idea that advertis-
ing could be applied to the selling of
a service so intangible as that offered
by banking institutions. The time was
that bank was satisfied with pub
fishing its statement of condition.
That day has been relegated to the
past.
There has been gratifying re-
Spouse on the part of the public il,
this new appeal From it has grown a
better understanding by our people OF
banks and their functions Where a
bank account formerly was the excep-
ton it is now the rule. Surely this
can be attributed principally to the
fact that bankers have come out OF
their shells and, through advertising.
have induced people generally to come |
into their institutions and learn more
about the beneficial services banks
have to offer. This can be shown in
40 better way than by the marvellous
growth in savings accounts.

SUBSIDIZED PRESS
Effort to Destroy ANY Senator
Exposing Oil Scandal Seen
by Albanian.

Certain subsidized republican news
papers were charged today in the
Senate by Senator Hefin, democrat,
Alabama. with attempting to dis
credit and destroy every senator who
has sought to expose the oil scandal.
"These brazen agents of the corrupt
interests, Senator Helm said, ARE
trying to debauch and debase every
senator and every public man who re-
fuses to turn his back upon his coun-
try, to surrender his convictions and
obey the behest of selfish, sordid, con-
temptible and corrupt dollar aris-
tocracy.
Having become the slaves of con-
scienceless predatory interests, they
try to besmirch and belittle every
public man who refuses to do as they
have done-prove unworthy to bear
the name of citizen OF the United
States'--and betray his country TO the
enemies of his country"
The Alabama senator declared that
"the same seeretiye and corrupt
forces that have wrought the over
throw of governments in the past are
at work here, and have grown in the
last three years until they constitute
a serious menace and danger to the
life of the republic
II am doing my duty as see IL, he
said, "and / owe it to the people OF
