ARKANSAS BANKS
SHOW PROSPERITY
(Continued from Page One.)
vember 10, 1915, the banks were car
rying only $2,140 of these govern
ment securities. The flotation of the
Liberty Loans, however, began a tre
mendous change in this item of de
posits, and there is now a total of
'$7,776,053.29 in U. S. Bonds held by
I the State banks, not including the
millions carried by the National
Banks.
There is a slight increase in the
volume of currency and gold, but a
decrease in the volume of silver and
fractional currency, showing that
the greater amount of the enormous
balances are represented by some
form of credit. Four years ago there
was in the state banks $2,290,833, in
currency, now there is $3,187,499.33.
Then there was $263,633.50 in gold,
now there is $266,071.52; the vol
ume of silver money has decreased
from $664,532.94 four years ago to
$612,168,221 now.
On March 7, 1916, the banks were
carrying loans on cotton aggregating
$2,398,090.35, but two years later
this item had increased to $12,891,
388.40.
There is less variation in the loans
on real estate than in many of the
other items, which seems to indicate
that notwithstanding the tremendous
increase in deposits and" general re
sources, the people are not increasing
their realty loans in the same pro
portion. In fact, the evidence of
bankers is that many mortgages are
being paid. The total real estate
loans two years ago was $11,031,858.
11, and the total according to the
current report is $12,931,830.37.

Michelin Tests
The Width Test
No. 3
IT IS EASY to file off a point but not so easy to wear away a : 1
broad, flat surface. A non-skid tread that consists of small, sharp j *
projections cannot resist the wearing action of the road so well as
; can a tire with a broad, flat traction-surface.
It is, therefore, important in considering the merits of various
non-skids that you determine how much of the . tread is raised—in
other words, how large a surface rests on the road.
An excellent way to do this is to get a piece of wire screen and
lay it over one unit of the design on the tread, then compare the
number of squares that fall on the raised portion with the number
that fall on the portion that is not raised.
Michelin Universal Has Large
Traction Surface
In the Michelin Universal, for example, three-quarters of the
entire non-skid tread is raised, thus forming a broad flat traction
surface that means extra mileage. Make the “screen test” for your
self. It will confirm Michelin’s superior wearing qualities.
