Measured by this standard, we think that Seattle has every reason to feel satisfied. In the Scandinavian American Bank, which, having the largest Savings De posits in the Northwest, is perhaps the best barometer of popular Savings, the record shows: FIRST—A larger number of Savings Depositors; SECOND—A larger total of Savings Deposits; THIRD—A larger average balance to the credit of each depositor Than ever before in the history of the bank. In addition to these Savings Accounts we should consider:— (A) The Large Dumber of our Savings Depositors who have boughl homes in and around Se attle, (we know they have boughl them because in many cases our Mortgage Department helped to furnish tlie money) : and (B) The still larger number of our Savings Depositors who have invested part of their sav ings in small mortgages and bonds which they bought direct from the bank. (We supply Seattle Local Improvement (Y Bonds in .+100 and $200 denominations) ; fi, With these further proofs of thrift, it is easy to realize that the savings of the people in Seattle and vicinity, as evidenced in this bank, not only surpass all former Oil totals, but the average or per capita savings is vastly higher. • ill 111, mi It should be remembered also that there are twenty-nine banks in Seattle. IIIJ fi Ifl ,^TT,!!!llli And we are glad to believe what we hear as to the steady growth of Savings Deposits if 0N SAVINGS in all of them. No doubt they also have helped their Savings Depositors to invest ments in homes and mortgages and bonds. Then, there is the comparatively new Postal Savings Department of the gov ernment. The Seattle Postofflce has a little over $400,000—not very large as com Alaska Building, home of the pared with the total of the banks—our one bank alone having considerably over $6,- Scandinavian American Bank 000,000—but it is all additional savings. Of course, even in the best times, there are always some unemployed. And it often happens'that business is dull in one or two trades while very active in others. But take it all in all, there is ample evidence of better times now, and every pros pect of still better times to come. THE YEAR'S INNOVATION-OUR NEW LETTERS OF CREDIT The most notable addition to the service of The Scandinavian American Bank during the vear. was the successful establishment of direct relations with foreign banks and bankers. Under this system we are enabled to issue our own direct Drafts and Letters of Credit—Made in Seattle and good all over the world. Could we have foreseen the European war with its consequent disturbance of foreign exchange facilities, we would no doubt have deferred the making of these arrangements. That the plans were thoroughly worked out, however, has been abundantly proved by the success of the system. While the holders of Drafts and Letters of Credit, issued by some of even the biggest Eastern banks, were encountering more or less difficulty on the other side, we have yet to hear of any but pleasanl experiences from the travelers who carried ours. At no time has our service been interrupted. For a long period we were the only bank in the \"oiihwrst in a position to supply general European exchange at all—yet our rates were and are considerably lower than those prevailing in the East.

This will be the fourth large office building erected by the Metropolitan Building Company on the University Tract. The building will contain about 250 offices and will be a first grade office building in every respect. The STUART BUILDING will be connected with the White and Henry Buildings with connecting corridors and will have all the facilities that have been incorporated into these buildings. The White, Henry and Stuart Buildings taken together will con tain about one thousand offices and will have more facilities for doing business than can be found in any other office building in this country. The Stuart Building is renting very rapidly and it is quite possible that by the time the Town Crier comes from the press, that there will be no further space available in the building.
