TlLi BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, .1 LTLY ;t. 1915.
BANK DEPOSITS
MAKE HUGE TOTAL
Eighty-Seren Million in the Differ
ent Financial Institutions of
Greater Omaha.
MAKES OVER $500 PER PERSON
Eighty-seven million dollars!
Some pile! And ret that Is the
amount of real money that Omaha
has on deposit In Wanks and in sav
ings and loan associations, as shown
by the latest figures.
The recent call to the national
banks by the United States comptrol
ler, coming at the time when savings
and loan associations are busy paving
dividends for the half-year, and other
banking organizations are making
their semi-annual statements, gives
the people a chance to get a good
idea of Just how much money stands
to their credit in all the banks and
fiduciary institutions of Greater
Omaha.
Study of the statements of the various
financial Institution shows that the na
tional banks have over S00.000.000 on de
posit, while the savlnrs and loan asso
ciations have over 124,000,000 to the credit
of their members, and the deposits In
state and savings banks exceed 12.000,000.
The postal saving bank alone, the
youngest savings depository In Omaha,
already has over a quarter of a million
dollars held in trust for Its depositors.
Figuring that Greater Omaha now has
a population of approximately 170,000 peo
ple, the total of 8i,5,4O0 belonging to de
positors of the various financial Institu
tions means an averago of over J500 saved
and laid away in cash by each man, wo
man and child In the city.
' For some, it represents a surplus of
money, placed with a responsible organ
isation for safe keeping; for others, a
nest egg or a safeguard against the pro
verbial rainy day. For all Omaha It
means thrift, prosperity, commercial and
financial strength.

EVIDENCE OF GOOD BUSINESS
Will Help to Better Babies.
OMAHA, July 2. To the Editor of
The Bee: Enclosed find $2.60 that I de
sire to donate to your milk and Ice fund
for babies. Tou are to be highly coin
mended for your efforts in behalf of the
little ones. I sincerely hope that many
of our public-spirited citizens will con
tribute to this fund, as much pure milk
and Ice will be needed during the hot
months, and if you succeed In saving
the life of only one baby, you have at
least accomplished something. Our
health commissioner has told you how
to keep milk properly. In addition to
that, any service that I can render along
the pure milk line will be considered a
pleasure by me. If necessary, you may
depend upon me for a like amount each
month during the hot period. Yours for
better babies, CLAUDE P. BOSSIE,
Milk and Dairy Inspector.

Postofftce receipts generally being
accepted as one form of the best evi
dence of a community's business
condition, a report for the last quar
ter of the fiscal year ending June 30,
from the Omaha postoffice, causes
Postmaster Wharton to smile with
unwonted joy and to shake hands
with everybody he meets.
Taken with recent figures of Omaha
bank clearings, this postoffice report
lends confirmation to the claim that
Omaha's commercial pulse Is steadier
than any other city in the country.
For April, May and June, comprising
the last quarter of the postoffice fiscal
yesr, the receipts at the postoffice werfl
$3M,87K8, an Increase of 104 per cent
over the receipts of the corresponding
period of a year ago. This growth Is
regarded by business men as a reliable
Indication of the general business con
dition of the city.
Receipts for June, this year, were
