of the average person to that state

is due to the insurance Of deposits.
Deposit insurance has played an i'm
portant part in helping to stabilize
banking throughout the country, but
there are other factors in the North

fact, since deposit insurance became
effective in 1884, there have been
failures of insured banks in 33 9TH

North Carolina cleaned house in 1888

banking institutions has wisely been
confined to those situations justified
by actual need and available capital
and management. Let us ilope that
the time will never return, in this
or any other State, when we shall
attempt to put bank opposite every

the banking business must pe con-
