BANK DEPOSITS INCREASING, SAYS BABSON • Jtoger Babson, business statistician and business fofccaster, in his regular weekly letter on conditions declares that bank deposits are increasing, and that saving money is helping business, strange as it appear. Idere are tome of the reasons why Babson stresses thf importance of increasing savings and bank de- “Bank accounts have all the advantages of the mdst Attractive investments. Among these may be mentioned the following three: 1. Bank /accounts arj safe. Statistics would probably show that small er’losses come from bank accounts than from any otSer field of investment. 2, Bank, accounts are vet-y liquid,—that is to say, we can quickly get our money at any time. Other forms of investment may be ‘permanent’ investments. Many of them are no permanent that they cannot bo liquidated when desired. 3. Bank accounts offer a good op portunity for speculative profit. This may seem a strange statement but let us examine it. ■•‘The real opportunities to make money are through chances that come to take partnerships,, to mffke special purchases or to do other things, which if "undertaken, often bring success. One never can toll when these opportunities will come but they do come to each of us twq or three times.in the course I ofiour lives. They; almost ! always retire iUijfMffj amount of capital: Perhaps the new position br- fered means working for less than a living wage •{of a:,while. Perhaps it means taking a year or ‘ more for travel- or'.study. Ttfe man wlth,a ( bank ac count can fmahee the’vcfctui% but the man, Without! b a (hank acr.nunt rnhhnt. 'Therefore'! say that a baV.k Account- offers an opportunity for speculative profit because it puts one in a position to make a big profit When the opportunity comes.” j 4Ir. John D. Rockefeller the other day declared lhat people should save their pennies in advocating thfift. The Rockefeller view was taken to task by some critics whp declared that there .were other tilings in tlife more important than saving pennies and one of them was to spend the pennies wisely. ® Hin view was that pennies in themselves meant nothing—it was what we got with our pennies that counted. Pennies should be spent rather than saved, if one spent them for health and education and fe recreation and pleasure. Perhaps a wisn combina- •; tiqh of the two views of both saving and.apending offers the most for those who wish ta live wisely and well. '(*««•!* M i «ui anatomy omisis. a Mr». L. L.

' “WHY MERCHANTS SHOULD ADVERTISE" STho, Banner-Herald a few days since called atten tion to the evil of the mui! order houses in the large cities of the country sapping the life out of th'e local merchants through their schemes of advertising di rect to the trade with catalogues and other forms of Murcrtising in v the way of price lists and premiums. Tho (nail order houses have grown rich off the public through these methods to the detriment of the home merchant who supports the community in every civic and commercial undertaking. However, there is an other side to the question which may be of merit and dim which could bo remedied by the merchant The Goldsboro, (N. C.,) Record in speaking of the detri ment of the mail order business relates an occurrence wljich is no doubt a common one in all communities. It says: •fA fnrmer who was carrying an express package from a city mail order house was accosted by a local merchant with the words: ‘Why didn’t you buy that bill of goods from me?’ he asked. ‘I could have saved you the express, and besides you would have been patronizing a home store, which helps to pay the taxes and build up this community.” TWith characteristic frankness the farmer replied: 'Why don’t you patronize your home paper and ad vertise your goods? I read it and didn't know you lmye the goods I have here nor do I see your name in the paper inviting me to come to your,store.’ ” Jo which the Hartwell Sun adds: jTt is to the best interest cf the community for our ’ I business men to realize that'a sign out on the _,iway cannot be brought to the home of a cus tomer for him to read.” • |f our merchants will co-operate with the news papers much of this business which is now being sent ftojforeign mail order houses can be kept at home. ,Thfc same condition as that of the North Carolina town exists in every town and city in Georgia and it will grow rather than decrease unless our merchants present,to the.readers of the newspapers and to their customers their wares and the prices for which they are being sold. The merchant who advertises has Jltue to fear from competitors who do not advertise. Advertising is purely a business proposition; the merchant who does not Advertise judiciously and consistently suffers from a loss of business just as WSh as he would though he did not open his place pfjusineas only on certain days of the week, or at irregular periods. ?
