Time to save
Shorpy is one of my daily web stops. The moderator selects high-quality old photos, mainly from WPA work. Sometimes the moderator is working a theme or a relation to today's news, sometimes he's just showing eye candy. Sometimes the picture reminds us of good things that are forever lost, sometimes the exact opposite. It's always a useful perspective point.
Today's pic clearly illustrates the problem with modern banks. The bank in this 1922 picture advertises saving, not borrowing. The Christmas Club, a one-year savings account, offered 3% interest. And the bank is quite obviously profitable. ¶ 2:19 PM
