Another ,it ll,,000,0'l)Q) WHOSE MONEY IS ? V VHAT money? Why.—the money in the banks! The money care- fully put away by you and your neighbours in savings accounts. The money you could have spent today but wanted to keep safely against some future need. The businessman's money for use in his normal operations. There are more than 4,846,000 bank deposit accounts, savings and current. Within these two classes the great majority of deposits are small or of moderate amount. t. But you'd be wrong if you assumed from this, that the rest of the deposits are owned by the few! Quite the contrary! The railways, for instance,• have deposits in the chartered banks .— and that indirectly includes the whole population of the Dominion. The trade unions have deposits. Millions of policy -holders share in the ownership of insurance companies' deposits. ljAnd don't overlook the deposits of wheat pools; farm co-operatives; churches; municipalities and municipal hydro commissions, school districts; school children's penny bank savings deposited with the chartered banks; and commercial and mining corpora- tions with very wide lists of shareholders, large and small, all over Canada. Truly, money on deposit in Canada's chartered banks is owned, in fact, by you and your fellow -Canadians. In war, as in peace, Canada's Chartered Banks maintain, uninter- rupted, their useful services — safeguarding depositors' funds; facilitating the nation's business — looking forward to peace with freedom as the only sure basis of enduring prosperity. THE CHARTERED BANKS OF CANADA daughter, Annie passed away several I_, - years ago. Mrs. William Reid of Stanley Township is a sister. Ten grandchildren also survive. 1 EVELINA STEVENS Evelina A.
