In many localities banks do not consistently mnke gnlns In deposits, merely fluctuating upward and down as the trend of business moves. ; But Omaha banks can ho depended upon to continue to make strides toward the ' front, standing the strain when other : banks lose and registering a good gain when others stand still. j Mare Money to Vnnm. , flio fact that Omaha banks showed : the good Inrreaea In depoalta at the last 'call means that there Is more money to move the farmers' crops and for the business man who wtshce to start Into a new business or extend his old ona.
