The recent call to the national | banks by the United States comptrol- Jer, coming at the time when savings and loan associations are busy paying dividends for the half-year, and other are making gives the people a chance to get a good idea of just how much money stands to their credit in all the banks and Greater | banking organizations their semi-annual statements, fiduclary institutions of Charles Epstein Omaha. Cash Study of the statements of the various | L.

The postal savings bank alone, the voungest savings depository in Omaha, already has over a quarter of a million dollars held in trust for its depositors.
