BANKS AND THE PUBLIC.
I must congratulate Lloyds Bank upon having published a really attractive brochure explaining to the man in the street the advantages of a banking account, and the many useful bervices performed by the banks for their customers. The brochure is entitled, How to Use a Bank, and it has a pithy little preface by Mr. Hartley Withers. How to open and keep a banking account, the circumstances under which the bank is prepared to make advances, together with other banking facilities, are dealt with in simple and direct fashion, which tends to bring home to everyone the useful functions performed by our banks. I hope that similar brochures will be published by all the banks throughout the country, for I am wedded to the belief that a good deal more might be done in stimulating thrift throughout the country if the usefulness of the banks and their readiness to aid the very small depositor were more clearly recognized.
