To all Banking Institutions in the Second Federal Reserve District: W e are pleased to announce that Raritan State Bank, Raritan, New Jersey, has become a member of the Federal Reserve System effective January 9, 1945. ALLAN SPROUL, President. FEDERAL RESERVE OF N E W BANK YORK January 10, 194-5 • CONSERVATION OF BAGS To each Member and Nonmember Bank in the Second Federal Reserve District: The increased use of fabrics in connection with the prosecution of the war and the shortage of available fabrics for other uses has made difficult the procurement of bags for use in shipping paper currency, coin, securities and checks. Thus, in order to maintain our present standard of service to the banks, it is necessary to use all available bags to the fullest possible extent. Accordingly, we shall appreciate your returning to us promptly by parcel post all bags bearing the imprint of the United States Mint or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York which you may now have or which may subsequently come into your possession. Bags bearing the imprint of our Buffalo Branch should be returned to the Branch in the same manner. We will reimburse you for the cost of postage. We appreciate the response of the banks in this district to previous requests regarding conservation measures, and we feel sure we can count upon your continued cooperation. Allan Sproul, President.
