BANKS CAN HELP
Those in New England Have Chance to Aid in Industrial Expansion, Says Filene.

Boston, Oct. 29 GP - New Eng land banks can aid materially in industrial expansion of this part Of the country If they will equip themselves to give expert advice to manufacturers on merchandising methods, A. Lincoln Filene, Bos- ton merchant, told stockholders of the Federal Reserve bank at their annual meeting here today.
 Mir. Filene was speaking as chairman of the research commit tee of the New England council, an organization representative of the six states for the promotion Of economic prosperity.

A survey of several of the principal New England industries has pointed to the need for better methods of marketing New England products. MT. Fflene also urged banks to as slst In bringing in industries of the proper sort.
