Show BANKING PROGRESS There has been a great change in banking methods in the past ten years. People today recognize merit in a bank not simply because it has been on one corner for fifty or a hundred years, but on account of progressive business methods which meet the needs of the community. Banks loan money today as a bus-ness, bus-ness, not as a favor to a privileged few. It is the volume of small loans and small deposits which have made possible the growth of the American banking system. Keeping close to the people is the secret of succsses in present-day banking. Banking prosperity depends upon community prosperity. It is for this reason that modern banks identify themselves with and take deep interest in industrial indus-trial development. |
