EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Don't Forget the Savings Bank.

In the unprecedented increase OF
interest in stocks and bonds the small
investor should not lose sight OF the
place still filled, as no other insttu- =
ton can fill it, by the savings bank.
Moneys intrusted to the care of the
savings bank are always available.
Deposits in the savings bank do not
fiuctuate in market price as do even
the best of bonds, including Libertys,
to say nothing of stocks.
For the man whose opportunity for
saving Is limited, the savings bank is
still the best resort. The interest re-
turn is low, but it is sure. 1t takes
self-control to set aside regularly
small sums, and there is no compulsion
about adding to your savings bank
balance. In this respect the COM
pulsory feature afforded by life in
surance and by the building and loan
Is a help to those who have not ac-
quired the savings habit; but. on the
other hand, there is never any Ques-
ton when you want to draw upon
your savings account.
The savings banks Of the United
States have an enviable record for
safety. That some people at least ap-
preciate their opportunities is demon
strated by the statistics. which reveal
that savings deposits in the banks
reporting TO the Federal Reserve
Board and distributed throughout the
country show steady and progressive
increases. On June 1, 1924, deposits
in these banks for savings accounts
totaled $7,311 ,316, 900, and on June
1925, the amount had grown TO 81
S2s.130,000. All this happened while
securities were being bought by in
d1vidual investors in the largest
amounts on record.
