Especial to the Record

NOpCCAd1 W Tile L6COIu)
NEW YORK, Feb. 25 "A new
upSurge in saving has been
noted among Geauga County
residents. The old-fashioned vir-
tue of thrift, which has been
out-of-style for some time, is
gaining in popularity locally.
Figures bearing this out have
just been released by the Fed
eral Reserve System in it's BIZ
ennial report listing ban dke-
posits for every county in the
United States.
At the end of the past fiscal
year, the combined deposits in
Geauga County's savings and
commercial banks were at the
high mark of $40, ,776, 900. This
includes time deposits (savingS
accountS) and demand deposits
Checking accounts) of individ-
uals, partnerships and corpora
tionS and is exclusive of Gov
ernmental and interbank depos-
it's.
The savings total, $13, ,921 900,
marks an increase of 1879 per-
cent since the issuance of the
pIfyious Federal Reserve report,
two years ago. 1t compares
favorably with the increase not
ed for the United States as a
whole, ITO per cent, and with
the ga per cent rise in the
East North Central States.
The growth in savings is
looked upon with favor by the
Federal authorities, who see in
it a natural source of funds to
satisfy the expansion needs of
industry as well as weapon
against initiation.
It is seen, also, as an answer
to those who feel that extensive
installment buying has left
people in a precarious position.
Concerning that. William j.
Cheyney of the National Found
alton for Consumer Credit says:
Contrary to the general opinion
that the American people are
out on limb in debt, the fact
is that SIS per cent of the fam
lily purchasing units in this
country owe no inStallment debt
whatever.
