Do you agree with him ? New York, December 19, 1923. The Equitable Trust Co., 37 Wall Street, New York. Gentlemen: You have published many advertisements about your ob ligatiohs to me as a depositor. 1 think'It is time for one of your cus tomers to write an advertisement about his obligations to you, his bank. As I see it, I owe you three things ?and money (at the moment, thank :he Lord) is not one of them. 1.1 owe it to you, as well as to my self, to maintain a good business rep utation. To you because I expect you :o demand this of?your other ;deposi :ors. If I have business dealings with i customer of. the Equitable I assume * ** ? . T-? ? mat Decause ne is an i^quitaoie cus tomer, he pays his bills, has regard ;o the sanctity of a contract, and is ftherwise dependable. I cannot ex ject you to uphold this standard on ;hc part of others, unless I" do my >ersonal share in upholding it. 2. I owe it to you to maintain a >alance on which you can make a >rofit. I expect you to maintain con venient offices, which means high ?ents, high taxes and other expenses. call on you for a variety of serv ces, many of which were never hougjht of as a part of banking ten 'ears ago. You cannot meet these xpenses and render these services inless you are making money. If 'ou make no money on me, then I .m riding on th5 backs of your oth r depositors. I don't want others iding on . back. I expect, there ore, not to ride, but to walk and to arry my share of your load. 3. I owe you an obligation to ac ept your decision cheerfully, if you ometime say "No." ^ If you haven't he courage to say "fto" many times day, and stick to it, I don't want my noney in your bank. I expect you , o say "No" when you are invited to lake speculative investments?be uestionable loans, or to pay too high ? rate of?'interest, or to lend at too ow a rate. * J I want all the interest I can get; j nd all the accommodation I can get. Jut first of all I want to be dead ! ure that what money I have with nKoAlnfoIw ooff* Tf; wn't bfi < UU JO UVOUlUV?i^ uv%?v> ?? afe unless you are conservative. And ny man or institution that is con ewative- must necessarily say "No" very day. If ever you say it to me, i herefore, I owe it to you to believe hat you are saying it because it is n the best interests of all your de- I ositors of whom I am one. This is a straight from the shoulder ; ittcr. We believe the spirit of fair ealmg which it represents is emi ,ently characteristic of the customers i f this bank. We are! proud of thir pirit^and grateful for it. It has een a very big factor in the Equit ble's success. The above could also be applied tc s as well as The Equitable Trust ,'ompany.
