When you ' have - money and lay it away jn a bureau drawer or an old stocking, it is lost to the world, be cause you are. not using it, nor can anyone else use it but if you deposit it in the savings bank, ' the bank in turn lends it to some one on good security, and they spend it, and it goes on and on paying debts and buy ing supplies. ; You say the amount is too small 'to put in the savings bank. This is a bad mistake; for no amount is too small .for that. The Home Savings Bank, of this eity, will take any amount on deposit, taking the view that no amount is too small to save, and if it is worth saving, it is worth putting in the savings bank. Suppose that 100.farmers deposit va rious amounts from 5 cents to $50, av eraging $10 apiece. This would amount to $1,000. Mr. Jones is a hard working, honest man, and has saved up enough to buy an $800 lot, and has $200 in the savings bank towards building a home. He wants to build a $1,200 house, so he goes to the sav ings bank, borrows $1,000 deposited bjr farmers to finish his house, gives the savings bank a first mortgage for it, and insures the house in some re liable fire insurance company for $1,000 in favor of the bank. Then the bank has double security which is absolutely safe. . Mr. Jones pro ceeds to build ; he pays the workmen on Saturday night, and they go and pay their groceryman. The farmer comes to town Monday with chickens, eggs and vegetables to sell. He goes to the same groceryman and sells them, and it is highly probable he gets in return the same money he de posited in the savings bank. He goes and puts this in the bank, and the process of circulation is repeated, which keeps the money geing. Thus you get 4 per cent, interest, com pounded quarterly, besides making a better market for your produce, whicl gives you double benefit from your money. The carpenter, the brick maker, the lumberman, and everybo dy else who gets a cent from Mr. Jones' house has to eat, and every thing they eat comes from the farm. Now here is the other view of it. Suppose the 100 farmers lay their money away, and stop it right stock still in their pocket or bureau draw- er. Mr. Jones can't borrow the mon-j ey with which .to build his house; ! the carpenter, the brickmaker, and the lumberman are all idle; they can not buy the groceryman's stuff. You j come 1 to town and go to the grocery-! man. He says.I would like to buy your produce, but I can't sell -vwhat I have got." You have cut off your market, but you can't see it. The farmers of this section have said to the writer on numerous occasions this summer that the prices were not as good for produce as they were last year. Yet, nearly all of them have very full purses, and more money lay ing away at home, dead to trade, dead to your own market; and dead so far as buying your own produce is concerned. In all of this great panic there has not been a single failure of an ex clusive; savings 1 bank from Maine to Texas, and the Home Savings Bank is as sound as any of them. We will keep your money safe, have it always ready for you, and then it will circu late . and make a better market for your produce. Major Charles M. Stedman and, A. Wayland Cooke are attorneys for this bank, and examine the title of each piece of real es tate before we lend a dollar on the property, and then we will not lend over half its value. This is what we call "SAFETY," which is the founda tion stone of the Home Savings Bank. Public Sale.
