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. The bank in
which he expects to keep his funds should be carefully ex
amined as to the factor of safety.
Roger W. 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.
