$875,000.00 of Insurance on our books in
Hood River County.
Bank Advertisement No. 28
Our ad man has had a good long rest and in
casting about for a starting point, we hit upon
the figures for Tuesday, October 13. On that
date we handled the following items:
162 out of town checks amounting to $33,158.83
410 cheeks on local banics amounting 10 ,e o
1268 of our own checks amounting to 35,644.63
' Three hundred and six people called at the
Bank during the day. . ,
We received 128 letters and sent out 170.
199 deposits were made totaling $60,199.37, and
the deposits for the day exceeded the withdraw
als by $28,967.48.
The total footings on each side of the balance
sheet for the day were J107.378.14.
This was the day after a holiday and we had
a single deposit of $21,000, which we did not an
ticipate when we started in the morning to com
pile this information. We do not publish these
as average figures, although many of them would
be equaled on any Saturday during the busy sea
son. v We found them interesting, however, and
thought they might serve to show that Hood
River Valley is busy marketing a good crop of
apples, and that business is fully as good as we
could expect it to be under present conditions.
