The lV.sk y. Peddler.
'1'Jn' business men of every small
city like Kingstree arc confronted
with a new and serious problem. It is
< I lie to t he growth of peddling, can
vassing or. order-taking. And mans
communities like ours arc solving the
problem by licensing or bonding all
people who go from house to homo
taking orders for merchandise han
died by local merchants.
At. first glance this may not seem
?iuite fair to soma people.* Hut x?e
I'ccl that a common sense view of the
issue will convince everyone tluit the
merchant would be justified in de
manding some jictio'n t ? > curb this
kind of business. For in the long run
anything that injures t,he merchant
in a business way injures all the citi
zens of the community
The peddler comes into the town
and often demands a cto s h deposit on
the article he sells. Then he goes else
where and delivery of the ordered
goods is made to the customer C.O.I).
People often find later that the goods
is not up to standard has been mis
represent! d. Mut by that time t lie
peddle! max be in the next state and
the bu>et has no recourse.
Monding and licensing, it scorns, are
t ht' only sens-ible methods for giving
the* bujing pub He protection in the
matter. .?
Mut there is more to the question
than this. The peddler comes during
| the time of peak demand, takes the
| cream ? ? t" the business out of the com
munity, and pays not one red cent in
the Way ? j t* taxes for the upkeep of
our -schools and other public institu
'lions. The merchant, on the other
hand, U here the* year round, gives
service in and out of season, and
turns a substantial sum of money
over tp.the city treasurer every year.

What is a Bank?
(This is the first of a' series of
article* issued by the Public Edu
cation Committee of the American
Institute of Hanking, and is here re
produced in order that the banking
public and the bankers can better
understand one the other, and create
a co-operative spirit between depoai
t . ? ? and' bunker.)
Whut is ii bank? It is not an! un
approachable iceberg.
It is not the forbidding pile of
brick and mortar or in more remit
years, of cold marble, steel and con
crete that some would have us be
licvo.
It is a human institution.
In these days of neighborhood
banking, the banker has become as
well known to us, and we are on as
familiar tefms with him as we are
with the corner grocer.
So universal has banking become
that we have all become partners in
the banking business. As a business,
.it has become indispensable. All
other business is so Interwoven with
it, that the one cannot suffer or
thrive without having a very marked
effect upon the other. Thoy go hand
in hand and for better or for worse
partake equally of prosperity or
adversity.
Stockholders in banks in the
United States number many hundreds
of thousands and stockholders are
in fact partners of the banker. There
are many million bank depositors in
this country and while they perhaps
are not strictly partners yet they
have a vital interest in the business,
seeing "that they have possibly all
of their savings of a lifetime depos
ited with the bahker to do with them
what he may.
The directorate of a bank is Com
posed of men in every walk ot life.
Business men, representing every
business which can be named, mer
chants, professional men, newspaper
men, labor leaders, farmers and me.i
prominent in civic affairs.
Those men are chosen by the tens
of thousands of stockholders as their
representatives almost solely because
they have succeeded in their own
walk ,iu life, and are men of intog
rity and a* citizens entirely above
reproach. ?
Think over -the names of the di
rectors of your own banking Institu
tion and set' if this is not absolutely
true.
A bank is a .storehouse or common
reservoir for the storing of money.
To these reservoirs all depositors
contribute. TheV pour into them from
! tin- well spring of human endeavor
the accumulation** of effort of many
people, for as the pennies make the
dollars, so does the result of the
labor of many, fill up the reservoir
to usable proportions,
This money then can be used by
business men for legitimate enter
prises by the manufacturer in the
production of goods, by the farmer
in making two ears of corn grow
where one grew before, all of which
means very definitely the greater
employment of labor, for the common
good.
It is the banker's particular busi
ness to know that proper safeguaHs
are taken to insure its safe return.
The* people .'ilso, through their rep
! rvsentat ives, the State Banking De
partment, or, in the ease' of National
hanks, through the National Hank ex
aminers, make regular systematic ex
animations of banks for the mutual
? protection of depositors and stock
holders.
