Talks on Trust Business
Strictly speaking our dutlies duties to our clicnts are performed
when we handle the funds and estates placed in pur charge in a bus-
nesslike way, in each case carrying out the terms of the instrument
creating the trust.
But if we should stop there we vsould feel that we had fallen far
short of filling that sphere of usefulness that it is tlie privilege of a
trust company to fill.
The nature of the work we are called upon to do in our trust de
partment presents many opportunities of rendering services not de
manded or required by the strict duties of the business. It brings
us into intimate personal I'elationishlp with many of our clients, w^
frequently seek our advice not alone in the raanacement of their es
tates. the execution of their wills, and ether tidudiary matters, but
upon outside questions of a purely private nature on which they feel
the need of friendly advice and suggestion.
These incidental ser\ices we gladly give, not from a purely altru
istic motive, to be sure, but because we know that our business
grows in proportion to the number of friends we make, and it’s the
added services, over and above the strict requirements of biusiiioss,
that make friends.

, Do what, Sammie? “Why, lynch the fellow* woh tarred that woman
•teacher?” No,'if 1 had the power, I wouldn’t just take their lives, but I’ll
jtell you what I would do; I’d send to the roads for life every scoundrel
I that took part in it; I’d give every hound who witnessed It, if he could
prove he had not actual hand in the outrage, 10 years of hard labor for
not stopping the crime; then I'd drive from that state every adult male and
lemale, who knew* the thing was brewing, yet who failed to make effort to
f prevent the disgrace. Furthermore, 1 wouldn’t live in a community where
such a thing is possible.
I WHATS THAT TO DO WITH B. & L.7
I Just this: If a man is carrying s hares in this shop, and trying to buy,
build or pay for a home; or, if he’s trying to lay up something for the
rainy days tliat are sure to come as ho grows older, he’s not going to be
found engaged in hellish pursuits or encouraging bad citizenship in any
manner.
EVERY MAN AND WOMAN IN CHARLOTTE
Should know, about the Mutual B. & h. Should find out how it operates.
Should talk with Keesler about what it does, and ascertain how far supe
rior it is to all other form of accumulating, and how much cheaper the
money one borrows here than that gotten by any other scheme ever de
vised. That’s talidng some but I’m in a position to demonstrate it to any
one who h^h’t a wooden head. Series open now.
