HEAVY MEAT PURCHASES
MADE BY CHILDS CO.

The Childs Co., which, under the
leadership of William Childs, curtailed
the serving of meat in its restaurants,
reports to stockholders that during
1929, under the new management, the
company purchased about $1,500,000
worth of meat for use in its chain in
United States and Canada. This was
apart from fish and sea food purchases,
but included poultry. Company's rec
ords show that among the most popular
meat dishes during the year were roast
lamb, veal outlet, beef stew, chicken
croquettes and corned beef hash. There
was marked increase in demand for
liver and bacon and liver and onions,
two dishes which few years ago gen.
orally were overlooked.

BY the Associated Press.
Development Of system of branch
banking, in the opinion of John w.
Pole, controller of the currency, would
not necessarily be another step toward
consolidation Of business interests, but
would result in locally centralized
capital.
Occupying the stand for the third day
In the House banking committees in
quiry into group, branch and chain
banking, the controller, who advocates
"decentralized branch banking to I'LL
the need for stronger rural banks, to-
day agree with committee members that
there should be some restriction to
prevent consolidation of branch bank
systems.
Representative Let's, Republican,
Iowa, recalled the work of President
Roosevelt in breaking up industrial and
commercial combinations with his big
stick" and asked the witness if the de-
velopment of branch banking would not
be a step in another direction.
Pole replied that branch banking
would result in concentrating banking
resources in great number of economic
centerS over the country and would
bring about a decentralization of capt.
tai so far as the great financial CEN
tiers like New York and Chicago were
concerned.
