EESEEEQN The Blewett Thrift Bank WQWE. ELLrO! Mary, have you heard that I am a teller at the Blewett ' Thrift Bank? Oh, I am so happy. But Mary, have you heard l of the bank? I think it's the best bank in the world. Listen and I will tell you all about it. It was organized by Mr. Ryan, our principal, and Miss Rice, our commercial teacher. We opened for business on February 7. That is a red letter day in my history. We are located in a large sunny room on the second floor of the school. We have plenty of light to count the money. We have cages like a real ban.k, and we are very proud of them because they were made in the forging shops of our own school. They are made of iron, but they are covered with a gold paint and they show up just iine. And the bank books, oh Mary, they are the cunningest little things, and you feel so proud of yourself every time you look in your book and see your account growing. Our deposit slips and our withdrawal slips are printed in our school. We are open for business from eight to half past in the morning and from eleven- twenty to twelve at noon. The class is divided into tellers, directors, book- keepers, checkers, and filers. We take deposits from five cents up, and we allow withdrawals to be made only in thrift stamps. We have only been in business three months, and we have a deposit of 51500, and our withdrawals amount to 3800. Now, Mary, for several reasons I think it is the best bank in the world. First of all your money is deposited with Uncle Sam, and you know what all the world thinks of that worthy gentleman. If you deposit your money in a down town bank you get only three per cent interest, while U. S. allows four per cent. I have heard some of the pupils say, Oh, I will not deposit my money in your bank because I can not get it out when I want it. Now you ask the pupils who have saved enough money to buy a big stamp if that is so. One boy in our class had sixty-seven dollars, and he cashed in his stamps without any trouble. The minute your money is deposited it starts. to bear interest. Then the second reason is the bank is a Ben Blewett enter-- prise, and that is a very good reason why we should patronize it. Six groups in the school have 100105 depositors. They are Miss Maus's: group, Miss Heddergott's group, Miss Pryor's group, Miss Thomure's group, Miss Baker's group. Miss Forbes's group and Miss Lange's group. Six hun- dred depositors, six groups with 10005 depositors, S1500 in money is not a bad record for a young bank. So, Mary, let us give three cheers for the BLEWETT THRIFT BANK. Martha Goldman-Miss Maus's Group. 35 fr. -4 ri 1 l 1 1 1 1 Y 1 'i
