"Die Modern Hank Concentrates Safe .guards and Distributes a Community's MoneyRemarkable Kecord of H cliovla Loan and Trust Co. (Does the average individual or a community at large fully appreciate their banks? They will do well to consider the many ways in 'Which 'banks help them, when there has been mutual co-operation. For the modern bank is not only a factor for good in many ways, but maiuly helps to concentrate, safeguard and distribute the community's money to the best advantage. And particularly is this true of the Wachovia Loan and Trust Com pany, whose main office is in Win-Ston-Salem, with offices at Asheville, Salisbury, Spencer and Iligh Point. This institution began business about 14 years ago, with a capital of $200,000, and now has a capital and undivided proats amounting to $760,000.00 and total assets of f 5,- 300,000, and has paid to its share holders during this time, in divi dends, amounting to $305,800. Jt is virtually the tirst bank in this section to allow interest on deposits, and has been conducting a savings department all the while, it btiug provided for in its charter, and no one can estimate the number of people it has taught and encouraged to save their spare money, and what a valuable service it has rendered along this one line! It having the largest capital of any banking insti tution in North " Carolina, and with a strong board of directors, capable officers, department mana gers and employes, it has neyer had to solicit business on the strength of any one feature, but is able to fur nish all round service. Recently some malicious person circulated a f Jse report, reflecting on the condition of thiebank, in the locality of some of its branches and its officers in charge did not antago nize any of its depositors, who igno rantjy withdrew thtir funds but immediately cashed every check and book as fast as they were presented and in this way, proved to them its solidity and to the community at Jarga, that the Wachovia Loan & TruBt Company stands for safety and prompt service and can stand any run that may be made on it. Winston-Salem Journal, July 31, 1907, Handleman Personals Miss Lena Bulla, has been with the Handleman Store Co. during their sale, has returned to Olenola. Dr. D.L.Fox, Misses Maude and Cora Fox, returned Wednesday from the Jamestown exposition. Walter Deaa and wife have re turned to their home at Greensboro, after a pleasant visit to friends and relatives at Randleman. Miss Alice Freeman has gone to Greensboro where she will make her future home. The Modern Public library. "The Modern Public Library" is an article of educitional interest in the September number of the New Idea Woman's Magazine. There is probably no other public institution which has undergone a greater awakening within the last twenty five years, and the writer gives an outline of the principal movements. wnicn have taken place for the de velopment of the modern library system. The methods which enable the introduction of the best reading mutter into the remotest homes, as well as the many inducements which are made to young and old to be come interested in good literature, are told about. The children's story hour and the "gangrooms" for boys may not be found in every locality, but their value as an incentive to reading makes a universal appeal. Every one ought to be interested in this account of one of the greatest influences of our modern times. Keep the Money at Home. The Yorkville Enquirer says: Money sent to mail order houses in taken entirely oat of circulation of the communities from which it is sent. There are people who insist on dealing with foreign houses, even when they can get the same com modities at as low a price at home. This is very bad policy for all con cerned, and it 1b harmful to the peo ple who practice as to others. It is good policy to pay a little more for articles at home, rather than buy them abroad.
