Banking is becoming more a public service instead of a priv­ ate snap, and bankers are be­ coming trusted leaders in public affairs. The days of mere money-lend­ ing and note-shaving are a thing of the past and the banker is be­ coming a factor in all commercial uidert .kings. Because the principles of busi­ ness and respenibility to stock­ holders are not employed in poli­ tics, bankers as a rule are not lured that way. But when it comes to promot­ ing community en erprises, founding new industries based upon the products of ihe soil, banks are progressives. As a result of all this, banks have become very public in their business. It was formerly the case that bankers, as a rule, re­ ceived deposit and paid checks and made loans largely with the ilea merely of interest returns. Now, if a banker realizes his responsibilities, he must not only receive deposits an'4 loan money and earn profits, but he must take an active and lively interest and become foremost in seeing that enterprises of different k nos in his district become prof­ itable. Somet mes, when he be­ lieves thoroughly in the husiness aid the man directing it, he must lend and tarry the loans with the idea of being construct­ ive and makir g the city in gen­ eral more prosperous through t ie success oi tu-me commercial enterprise, r DILLARD & DILLARD Our objection to putting Em­ ope on her feet is she always wants to sit right down again.
