WHY NOT USE THE BANKS?

The burglary at Talisheek lastweek, which netted the burglarsabout $4100, shows that not all themoney In the parish is deposited inth. banks. There is still somehoarded. Unfortunately there havebeen some bank failures in whichthe money of depositors is lost, but'for every dollar lost in this manner,a hundred dollars have been lost byhoarding and otherwise carelesslyhandling money. There has neverbeen the loss of a dollar by deposit-ors 'in banks in St. Tammany parishfand they are all strong and trust-worthy. There is absolutely noreason why any one should not banktheir money in some of the parishbanks. The hoarded dollar is ont-ofcirculation; the :banked dollar is in-circulation, thereby helping the com-munity just that much.

We invite every hoarded dollar inthe parish to be b1rought to ourbank; if not tours, then one of theothers, but for the good of the com-munity aid yourself BANK .YOURMONEY.OOVINGTO1. BANK & TRUST CO.,"at Tammany's Million Dollar Banlk"
