ADDRESS REPLY TO

FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

April 10, 1917.
Dear Sir:
On my recent visit to a number of the Federal Reserve
Banks I spoke of the desirability of making an effort in the
direction of encouraging enthusiasm by member banks in the Re­
serve System and the wisdom of conducting some campaign of
education and information to that end.

I felt that this could

best be done if the Federal Reserve Bank of each District would
take the lead, hence, I am glad to find that the New York Fed­
eral Reserve Bank has just issued some very interesting material,
which you have doubtless already seen.

One leaflet is in the

nature of a little primer, and the other is a series of sug­
gestions for illustrated advertising.
Before I knew just what the New York Bank was doing
in this matter I had fried my hand at a primer, copy of which
I enclose herewith.

This is simply suggestive and I hope to

hear that your Bank has taken hold of it actively by adopting
these or some even better method of bringing about a more co­
operative spirit, first, among the member banks, and, secondly,
between member banks and the public.
Yours truly,

Enclosure.
