A Symbol of Safety to the
Depositor
It is stated upon good authority that the banks of the
I’nited States have total deposits of only about one half the
money in circulation. The other half is presumed to l».- hidden
away in the family sock, buried in the back yards, hidden in the
attic or concealed in private or lock boxes in vaults.
If 'hi* bidden tn a. ure were put into circulation through
k -o--yT""*, | "ar country, and would fin-
ance many K'.rritonous i nterpri-cs.
It may be that a large part of this private money is n(,t
in banks because the owners have not sufficient confidence in
the banks.
The Guaranty Fund Banks of Texas have the very best
means of creating this confidence.
The very fact that since the Guaranty Fund Law has been
in operation, not a single dollar of non-interest bearing or un-
secured deposits has been lost by depositors in the State Banks
of Texas.
