OCCUPY VERA CRUZ; REPORTED ASSASSINATION CHARGE O’SHAUGHNESSY T h e F a c to r of S afety The bunineH.s man of to-day is becoming more and more critical in safeguarding his business interests.

Babson, in the Saturday Evening Post, in sug gestions to the young business man selecting a bank, says: ‘‘In foreign countries the bankers talk of factors of safety rather than simply deposits; but in this country, owing to the ignorance of most business men concerning banking methods, the people can be fooled by a comparative statement of de posits. * • • * The first and most important feature to note in the study of a bank statement is the factor of safely.” The REDMOND BANK OF COMMERCE, with its un usually strong factor of safety of 32V4 per cent, affords the greatest security to depositors in this community.
