LET’S GET ACQUAINTED —
START THE NEW YEAR RIGHT
It’s easy! Just drop in anytime and say hello.
We’ll be glad to meet you and whatever advice
we can give you will not cost one penny.
In the old days, bankers used to shut them
selves up in private offices—and they were as
hard to see as a potentate. All that is changed,
though, and nowadays your banker is right
w’here you can see him and talk to him any
hour of the banking day.
It’s that way at our bank, and a cordial invita
tion is extended to you to call on us.

99,503 PATENTS ASKED IN
YEAR BY U. S. INVENTORS
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 20.—
American inventors contributed $3,
042,276 of the coffers of the federal
patent office, the largest sum ever
received in any single year, according
to the annual report of Commissioner
Thomas E. Robertson, submitted to
the secretary of the interior today.
This increase was made notwith
standing a slight decrease in the
number of applications for patents,
designs and trademarks from 100,724
for the preceding year to 99,503 for
the last fiscal year.
The great activity in the patent
office is shown in the reduction in
the amount of work awaiting of
ficial action, the report pointed out.
There are now on hand 12,000 fewer
patent cases than there were a year
ago, 2,469 fewer design cases and
1,850 fewer trademark cases, show
ing a decrease in the work on hand
of over 16,000 cases for the year.
The report calls attention to the
fact that a committee, which will
make a thorough study of patent of
fice procedure, will be composed of
representatives nominated by the
American Bar Association, the
United States Chamber of Com
merce, the National Association of
Patent Lawyers and the Patent Law
associations of Chicago, Cleveland.
Letroit, Pittsburg and New York.
Every facility and opportunity will
be offered this committee to make
an entirely independent study of
patent office procedure.
Attention is also called in the re
port to the fact that unregistered
attorneys and attorneys who have
been disbarred for gross misconduct
are practicing in at least eight
widely scattered cities. These un
