([questions that are asked about banking] ff f v ■ A BANK is a semi-public institutionTlt receives money from depositors and lends that money to borrowers. In order to safe guard the funds of depositors a bank must be conservative in loaning their money. Banks are anxious to make good loans—for their livelihood is derived primarily from this source. Yet safety—not profit—must be the first consideration. Consequently, it is not the function of a bank to indulge in specu lation, or to make speculative loans, however promising they may seem. Conservative banking policies do not, how ever, stand in the way of genuine community progress. In fact, they go hand in hand. The permanent, carefully-built progress of any community—not the false, temporary prog ress of sporadic booms —is dependent usually upon the alert foresight and conservative, experienced judgment of its business men and bankers. @ The - Peoples Bank Roxboro, N.
