Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Banking and Business Ethics
Through the activities of its Officers and directors the bank gathers much of the idle and active money in the community and puts it out in loans - to farmers, enabling them to bring their crops to maturity; to manufacturers, helping them to buy raw material and to pay their labor while their products are in process of manufacture; and to merchants, who buy the finished products of the factories. Even the railroads and steamship lines are dependent upon bankers for the money not only to build and equip their properties, but also to operate them after they are built.
