for the protection OF persons they

There are enough gasoline, oils and

money in the names of people OF the
working classes, probably, as any
other town in the southwest.
Douglas people have the saving
habit. They have been encouraged in
this habit by the First National bank,
especially, and by the two other banks
also. The banker has seen many peo-
pie grow old without having laid away
any money. He has seen them come
into the bank and ask for a loan when
their earning power to pay that loan
was gone. The banker knows that
this is a heart-breaking thing to wit
ness. He don't want to see the people
who live all around him in that fix
when they get old, for he cannot loan
them money, no matter how much he
might wish to relieve their misery.
Sound business enters into the bank
er's calculations, however. He wants
those savings accounts because while
he must pay the owner of the money
a certain rate OF interest OIL tie ac-
count, at the same time he takes that
money and reinvests it so that it pays
the interest to the owner and also
makes the bank something every year.
That is how q bank makes money.

and depositors that he is a good banker
and is doing good business, but he
must satisfy bank examiners o. the
same thing and bank examiners are
very prying people who are sent around
to find out if there is any danger of
a bank losing the peoples money.
The best recommendation that one
could give for the First National bank
of Douglas, or for the other banks here,
for that matter, is no one gets ex-
cited when the bank examiners come
to town. There is never any talk
about Douglas banks going broke. In
the past few years some hard times
have hit communities in this vicinity
&sld some banks have gone under, but
no living human could convince the
public Of Douglas that there is any
danger OF the banks here closing their
doors.
1t isn't the bank examiner that in
spires this confidence. It isn't the
name National" over the banks doors.
1t is the character that stands up
with the men who handle the money
in that bank and who hold the posi-
tions OF trust and authority there, the
men who have grown up with Douglas
and the southwest and who consider
the welfare OF this city and rs people
first, last and all the time.

Every care must be taken in this

Machinery in the pump room pumps
gasoline and oils from railroad tank

across the yard and into the storage

How long does it take to empty one

counter question, but it is far from
it. In the hct summer time one oil

CHEAPSIDE is CHEAP"
ONLY in FITS NAME

LONDON, July 2 Q9.-Amerlcan vis-
itors to London are learning to their
sorrow that Cheapside is "'cheap' only
in name.
Cheapside was the principal London
street-market, when retail trade was
carried on round old ST. Pauls cathe-
dral. The names of many OF the
thoroughfares leading into the western
end of Cheapside as, for instance, Milk
street, Bread street, Wood street and
Honey lane, are reminiscent OF TINS
period.
"Chepe" was the old English name
for market. In the 10Th century the
form Chepessyd appears, from which
the present spelling originated.

are moving across the riVer into Bat

tic crowd to the south bank of the
Thames in search of cheaper flats and

In an effort to counteract some of
