AND YOUR
MONEY
THE SERVICE OF A SAVINGS
ACCOUNT
By John P. Mullen

ANNUONI
By John p. Mullen
AS suggested in previous articles
the savings bank is the first lOgi
cal medium of capital employment
for the average individual. 1t serves
the small wage-earner by providing
a safe place for his weekly OF
monthly surpluses and an expert
enced agency for investing them in
a manner to yield a regular income
A man with a dollar or two OF
twenty above his weekly or monthly
expenses cannot easily find Oppor-
tunity to invest such sums to adVan-
tage. The savings of the average
man are not large enough to admit
of immediate employment in stocks,
bonds or mortgages. But when his
small sums are deposited in a saw
ings account and augmented with
other savings, they are enabled to
find profitable employment. Immed-
lately with his deposit the small saw
er gains a new source of income,
and his small savings become in
vestment capital.
There are many who complain
that the or 4 or per cent income
of the savings account is not worth
the sacrifice involved in saving. This
complaint is shOrt-sighted and un-
sound Considering the work in
gathering in small savings from
hundreds of individuals and then in
vesting it, the savings bank return is
actually generous. 1t has still other
values, often more important than
the interest yield. Fed regularly the
savings account becomes a reserve
against sickness and unemployment.
1t is a stepping stone to higher
since it opens the way TO those in
vestments which, from the point of
yield, are more desirable.
Moreover, the income of a savings
account is actually more than 8 or
per cent annually. 1t is or
per cent compounded. ns"ally semi
annually. There is a verv startling
difference. At 3 per cent compound
ed semi-annually given sum will
double itself in % years, at per
cent in 18 years. At 4 per cent
simple interest, the kind of interest
paid upon bonds and mortgages, it
requires rs years for $1,000 to pro-
duce another $1,000.
Consider what you gain when you
open a savings account. First. you
have acquired a safe, flexible, handy
medium of employment for your
small surplUses. You have gained
the opportunity to share in the pro-
fits of capitalistic production aside
from your wages. You have estab-
lished bank connections and, from
credit standpoint, established your
self as deserving and Industrious.
When you count these returns, you
will find that the savings bank is
paying very handsomely.
The man who wants to build up
capital, that will work for him, that
will earn for him while he is accu-
mulating, will find no better first in
vestment than the savings account.
And no matter how financially we'll
to-do he may become he will never
grow independent of the savings
bank logically. Properly conceived,
the savings account is a reserve and
a nucleus for every other invest
ment. an individual may make.

CURTA|LED RADIO
OUTPUT IS ASSURED
Manufacturers Plan for Res
striction on Marketing
of New Sets.
BY J. c. ROYLE.

Teleyision is just around the corner,
but In most expensive neighborhood,
One Of the representatives of large
electrical equipment concern said YES
terday that most satisfactory television
sets had been built, but that the one
difficulty in marketing them was that
the manufacturers had not yet been
able to supply set that would sell for
less than 81 1000. But, he added, It was
merely a matter of time when setS
would be sold at reasonable figures.
1t seems likely that the next big rads
ical change in the radio industry will
involve television. But the radio manu-
facturers are feeling much more opti-
mistic today than two months ago,
There is no doubt that the whole in-
dustry has been through a hectic time,
This was only in part due to the crash
IN the stock market. Overproduction
played a full part, and the effects of
the two were felt together.
Members of the Radio Manufacturers
Association declare that 1t is only q
matter of a few weeks until the un-
wieldy carryover of sets from 1929.
amounting to 100000 or more, will
have been cleared. They will then be
able to begin on 1880 production. That
production, 1t is asserted vigorously, viii
not again reach unwieldy proportions.
= AC oOU Observation-Disclosures WHO went INTO
the radio business had a capacity Of
about 100000 sets a year, whereas
the actual demand at present calls for
about 100000 sets. Hereafter pro-
duction will be held close to the actual
demand.
The recovery which this industry has
made in the last six weeks has given
proof that radio no longer can be con-
sidered in the luxury class 1t may be
semi-luxury, but scores of people re-
gard it as an essential part Of their
lives.
Holding production to consumption
will be easier, since not a few concerns
in weaker financial positions were
forced out of the business by the dras-
tic upheaval Prices, which were cut by
all but about Is per cent of the pro-
ducers, again have become stabilized.
Distress stocks now are not large, ac-
cording to the Radio Manufacturing
Association There has been a decided
improvement in the credit conditions.
According to the manufacturers there
has also been marked cut in manu-
featuring capacity.
Statesmen are being "speeded UP" to
get rid of excess stocks. More careful
scrutiny also is being given to applica-
tons for purchasers on a time-payment
basis. Comprehensive plans are being
worked out to further export trade.
This is counted on to take many battery
sets of the American market.

NEW HIGH RECORD
In PENNSY INCOME
Railroad Makes Unusual Financial
Showing for Fourth Con-
secutive Year.

Last year marked the fourth sue
cessive 12-month period in which the
Pennsylvania Railroad has achieved a
new high record in net income.
The volume of business handled in
1929, while greater than that of 1928,
was not as large as that moved in the
peak years of 1923 and 1926. The
record breaking net income earned last
year was the direct result of an in
tensive program of efficiency and econ
omy in every phase of operations and
the heavy expenditures made in recent
years to improve and extend the COM
panys transportation property.
Dividend Payments a Record.
Dividends paid during 1929 amounted
to SAC ,835,965 This was the largest
yearly dividend disbursement in the
company's history, marking an increase
of $8,664,3 43 over payments made in
1928 A total of more than 5000, 600, 900
has been paid by the railroad in divi-
dends since its inception in 1896.
During 1929 the sum of $4,962 1852
was applied to sinking and other re-
serve funds, and $636,558 to advances
to and construction expenditures upon
leased and affiliated lines. The balance
of the net income. amounting to $48,-
CPS. SOS. was transferred to profit and
loss, bringing the total profit and loss
account as of December 81, 1929, to
$3.50, 834,073.
