' HE FUNDAMENTALS of banking are sound Just
ai they are in any business. It is when there is a
deviation from those principles that trouble arises.
The one never failing guide to good banking is that the deposl.
tor's interests come FIRST. That Is, the bank is custodian
of a depositor's money and the SAFETY of that money is his
major responsibility. Remember that the next time yon hear
a fellow grumbling that the banks keep all the money tied
up and won't lend it as freely as he thinks they should.
