First National Bank Juneau, Alaska A It is our Announcing a Charge on Checking Accounts TO OUR DEPOSITORS: A complete study and careful analysis has revealed that checking accounts carrying an average balance of less than $100.00 are being carned at an actual loss. Clerical expense and cost of checks, pns books;, ledger supplies, etc., have increased to such an extent that we are compelled in ecommon with other banks to make this small charge for handling accounts where the balance maintained-is so small as to oc- casion an actual loss to us. A charge of $1.00 per month will be made where a minimum balance of $100.00 is not maintained. Effective January 1, 1935. In making this charge it is not the purpose of the banks to gain a profit, or to drive the small depositor away, but to prevent a loss on a very great number of checking accounts. THE B. M.
