"A person is no longer ex-
posed to the danger of loss of
large sums of money in bank
failures, because of the protec-
ton afforded by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation.
This corporation insures a de-
positor's money against losses
of this kind up to five thousand
dollacs. Membership in this cor
poration costs a bank one
twenty fourth of one per cent
of its total deposits semi-an-
nually. Our local bank paid
about thirty-five dollars per
month last year to this corpor-
alton, but membership in it has
so benefited the banks by in
creased deposits that they con-
slider it money well spent.
Taking everything into con-
Sideration, we see that a bank
is probably the most beneficial
and best managed business in
this country. A bank is an eX-

although a bank always well

depositor, nevertheless, it must
protect itself from losses which
might be incurred from hand
ling very small accounts. Hence,
a small charge, called an SAC

banks for each heck in excess
of an allotted number written
on these small accounts. Many
banks also make a flat charge
(of perhaps fifty cents per

while the time deposit is of
great value to many people,
there is a more flexible type
of bank deposit which has many
advantages the time deposit
lacks-the checking account. A
person is saved the danger of
loss or theft resulting from car

does not find it necessary to
keep a large number of receipts,
because a cancelled check is
sufficient proof of payment of
an account. Check stubs are an
important factor in keeping re-

one establishes a reputation
