BIG BANKS HAVE PREPARED
FOR INCREASE IN BUSINESS
Success of Larger Institutions in Safe
guarding Assets Is Lesson for
Smaller Concerns.

for accounts not worth the price from
making non-liquid loans even for so-
called good customers whose balance
may be drawn down any minute.
The small bank that ably serves tts
clientele and adheres to safety first
and last" will only be absorbed when
the owners are ready to sell out. It has
its place In any community, big or
little, but to be safe a bank, large or
small, must watch its step.
Knew His DepOsitOrs.
The late James A, Forgan president
of the First National Bank of Chicago,
made 1t practice to know something
about new depoSitors even before they
had an opportunity to cash in on any
scheme, had they been so inclined. He
used q bright young man to trail de-
pesiter to his place of business" or
wherever he went until he had facts to
encourage the account or demand its
immediate closure,
In these days Of double dealing, OF
heldups and efforts to get something
for nothing. Mr.. Forgan's method
might be employed by large or small
banks with profitable results.
Controller Advises.

currency, In q recent address before
the American Bankers Association,
directed his remarks to the subject OF
Country Bank Investment Policies"
The controller particularly warned
against the high pressure salesman SELL

sideratien to return rather than buying

to give good advice from long expert

brokers who carried that class of bonds.
This is also flrst-clasS advice for the
individual bond buyer.
Many Influences Mentioned.
There, In Mr.. MaeIntesh's opinion, are

There are those who fear for the
future of unit banking In these days,
when the tendency OF the times is
toward eentraliEation and enlargement
Of banks through mergers and consoli-
dations.
It would seem, however, as if the
small bank In the small town might
hope for continued and active exist-
ence if its directors and officials would
thoroughly realize the fact that 1t Is
of the institution that 1t would not be
necessary to inf1ict a calamity upon a
community through the enforced clos
ing of doors and the sad losses attend
ing failure.
Between 1920 and 1926 banks, large
ly interior institutions, to the number
Of a,800 closed their doors and there
have been many more pass out In the
last 20 months, almost enough to make
questionable the prosperity of which
we hear so much and which is actually
so real as to cause the times to be
elassed rs part of the golden age" Of
business,
No Room for Argument.
There is small room for argument as
to the merits of the small, lily managed
unit bank and the big bank or trust
company well managed, under most
complete and drastic supervision, with
officers and employees who, in any way,
handle money or its equivalent under
heavy bonds.
The big banks have, through the
medium of interchange of methods
and study problems, through the in
PRODUCTION of protective methods prae-
tically guaranteeing perfect accounting
and garnering of every dollar earned
into the Golfers of the bank, prepared
for the big business that is pressing
at bank doors today. Their invests
ments are much more liquid, as q rule,
than those of an interior bank, Both
are obliged to loan on land mortgages,
but the red flag Of the auetieneer
quickly follows foreclosure and banks
are readily Fepessessed Of their funds,
In the city, while long delays are the
rule IN the eeuntFy-fFoEen assets, they
