AN IMPORTANT DISTINCTION
The savings banks scattered over
the United States are looked upon as
the backbone of national prosperity
and thrift. Iron laws and rigid sup-
ervision have made them the safest
depository known in financial history.
The banker is proud of this long
standing record of safety. He takes
the narrow margin of profit which
the law permits and is content to
leave to others VCheVmore speculative
and dangerous forms of financial ac-
tivity. Confining itself to these nar-
row limits and knowing that it is very
existence as an institution is depend-
ent upon the measure of protection
which| it gives its depositors, it would
appear that the savings bank is justi-
fied in invoking the. law to curb the
activities an^ false claims of those
other institutions which seek to imi-
tate the savings banks, but which in
reality are not savings banks' at all.
