MUTUAL AGAIN
PAYS Dividend

In the bulletin announcing its
47th semi-annual dividend, the
United Mutual Savings bank in
the Rust building, points out that
its increasing deposits have ex-
ceeded the two and one half million
dollar mark, as compared with
slightly more than S576, 900 which
the bank reported at the end Of
1885.
THE surprising growth Of
United Mutuars deposits during
the past four years is a barometer
of public confidence in Tacoma's
only mutual savings bank" said
Franklin F. Summers, president Of
the institution.
with deposits now five times
as great as they were at the close
of business four years ago. We
have every reason to be grateful
to the thrifty citizens of Tacoma
and vicinity who have made this
growth possible. Since the incep-
ton of this bank in 1916, we have
never failed to return liberal
earnings to all depositors at the
end of every semi-annual period.
In addition. our record shows that
no depositor has ever lost a single
dollar of his savings In this saw
ings bank"
The semi-annual dividend will
be credited to the account of every
depositor at the rate Of 2i2pe per
annum. This rate of interest,
Summers points out, is the highest
paid by any savings bank in the
state of Washington and much
higher than that paid by savings
banks in the east and middle west,
where in some cases no interest at
all is being paid on saving ac-
counts.
Depositors may bring in their
books to the bank, or mail them
in if desired, for the crediting of
interest, according to the announce
ment.
